Say NO to Mike Lee's 'Borderlands Conservation Act.'
Its very title is backwards language. It would be devasting.
It would open all federal lands within 100 miles of the U.S. border to roads, buildings, and motorized access. This encompasses the entire Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness and Superior National Forest.
Consider the damage it would do:
If passed, the Border Lands
Conservation Act would:
• Gut key Wilderness Act protections
• Allow new roads, buildings, and
motorized vehicle use in protected
Wilderness areas
• Station DHS agents in Wilderness
areas as it deems necessary
• Sideline the U.S. Forest Service and
Bureau of Land Management
• Invite destructive development into
one of our nation's most pristine
landscapes.
This is not preservation or conservation. It is desecration and destruction of a precious, even a sacred legacy: the splendor of unspoiled wilderness.
Speak out against this bill.
Do not allow it to advance.
Do not allow precious wild areas to be pillaged and destroyed on your watch.
Please oppose Senator Lee's bill vehemently and publicly
