An open letter to the U.S. Congress

NO SELL-OFF of OUR public lands. They are a national treasure. Vote NO.

659 so far! Help us get to 1,000 signers!

The Republicans put in an amendment to the budget bill, at midnight, to sell off vast tracts of our public lands. This is appalling. Sneaking in a plan to sell OUR public lands in order to fund tax cuts for billionaire oligarchs. PLEASE, VOTE NO. Reject this destruction of one of our most precious shared goods. Public lands are a national treasure. Beloved by so many Americans: read Tracy Stone-Manning: ". Poll after poll shows that people of all stripes support public lands and want them conserved to protect wildlife habitat and outdoor recreation areas for future generations. “Public lands are figurative common ground, uniting people across the country.” While it is a nice proof-point to have, we don’t need polling data to tell us what people’s photo libraries, social media feeds, old family albums and bucket lists show us. Americans care deeply about public lands, intuitively understanding they are a national treasure." Imagine the loss to your children and grandchildren. Imagine the ecological destruction. If you don't care about ecology or your stewardship for the future then imagine the disgrace that will stain your legacy. NO SELLING OFF OUR PUBLIC LANDS. No mining, drilling, and environmental destruction for short term private profit. Please restore the Democratic senate amendment to prohibit selling off our public lands. We will be watching your vote: we will vote out every GOP who slashes Medicaid and votes to sell off the National treasure of our public lands.
