STOP HR 978. NO corrupt mining deals. PRESERVE THE BOUNDARY WATERS

Tell Rep. Stauber to STOP trying to ruin the Boundary Waters. ............................................The BWCA is stunning, vast and wonderful area of unspoiled wilderness: a sacred trust which we must preserve for our descendants. ..................Stauber's latest bill, HR 978, (dishonestly called the Superior National Forest Restoration Act) is an attack on the area which would cause irreparable damage. .....................................................................................................................................It is also stupid, costly, and corrupt. ......................Calculations show that Boundary Water Tourism will bring in more revenues that ruinous polluting mining. Stauber's bill would benefit a rich foreign mining magnate. aims to reverse the Biden administration's 20-year mining ban near the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness (BWCA) by rescinding protections, reinstating canceled leases for Twin Metals Minnesota, and fast-tracking copper-nickel mining approvals, directly threatening the wilderness with sulfide-ore mining pollution. ---------------------------------------The bill is destructive and wicked because it (1) rescinds Protections: It would undo Public Land Order 7917, removing the 20-year moratorium on mining in the BWCA's headwaters. (2) Reinstates Leases: It forces the reissuance of previously revoked federal mining leases for Twin Metals, allowing for expedited approval of mine plans. (3) Bypasses Review: The bill would override the Forest Service's authority to deny consent for mineral leases and limit judicial review.--------------------------------------------Instead of allowing this greedy destructive profiteering, please support the Boundary Waters Wilderness Protection and Pollution Prevention Act, which aims for permanent protection............................................>We have already defeated other harmful bills from Stauber; It's time to consign this one to the trash can and tell him : hands off.
