Setting a (bad) new precedent

Please contact your congressperson to protect Grand Staircase National Monument and the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness. Using the Congressional Review Act (CRA), the House passed a bill to open up the Boundary Waters to mining. The CRA is also expected to be used to remove protections from Grand Staircase and allow ORVs, logging and other extractive projects.

The CRA was never intended to be used in this way, and this sets a precedent for threats to other public lands. Your action is needed. Please contact your representatives to halt these actions.
