So in short who's contracted their senators and simply said "I'm opposed to the sale of public lands"

In the past couple weeks I have used pre prepared letters provided by conservation groups I belong to or follow to email my senators and representatives three or four times. These emails were in opposition to both "the big beautiful bill" and the softening of the roadless act.

I have also forwarded links to those emails to friends to send to their elected officials.

Yeah I'm in Indiana so these things are not NIMBY issues for me but the sale or exploitation of OUR public lands is unacceptable period IMHO. But, I'm an unashamed tree hugging hippie freak who has been an outdoors lover all of my 65 years.

This just showed up in my email. Seems like the outcry worked. I think these "elected representatives" mat have gotten the message but concerned folks need to keep vigilant. Our president is a land developer after all.

Thank you for your work keeping us informed.

If they start selling public land they won't stop till it is gone,we need to fight this.

i guess my original post was deleted?


Be sure to thank the Youtubers for the added pressure and bringing light to this issue, they've all been resilient in the past month or so applying pressure. this land is ours. No thanks to Donald Trump Jr... the guy with a massive following who didnt share any info till it was over. could have easily rallied more troops to combat this awful bill. dont worry hes taking a victory lap now.


at least he found time to share the same old recycled whoopi goldberg memes instead of an actual issue and threat to our country.

this land is your land, this land is my land. we must all continue to rally here.


dont give em an acre.

You know i was wondering where some of the mouth pieces were. I was informed by a couple 2A groups and blogs like this. I think good old grass roots effort. Thanks to all.

I did the same as 10th Legion and used the attached letters to Senators I received from the various groups I belong. I did receive responses from both Senators that they opposed the sale. I think we need to remain vigilant as Lee from Utah proposed this sale twice in this bill and I think he will jeep trying.

I just watched this news report out of Idaho from last week. At the end they reported that Sen. Lee posted on social media that opponents to his bill should "stay tuned". Sounds like he's not giving up.

Back Country hunters and anglers were a major driver along with other conservation organization. They have a good sized lobby

BHA had a drive on 6/25 to get 25,000 people to contact representatives/senators. I got an email a couple days ago saying that over 35,000 people made contact that day.

I got an email yesterday from Hunters and Anglers for the Brooks Range that the provision to construct the Ambler Road had been removed from the BBB. Information on the road here

Glad to see your voices were heard, but if a few thousand acres of the vast West has to be sacrificed in order to make America great again, I have no problem with it.

There are at least a hundred other ways I think we can cut fraud waste and abuse in the government system before we sell any public land which is a huge part of what makes America so great. Also the proposed acreage was a few million not a few thousand.  -a government worker
