Only a few weeks into the new Congress, and Utah Representative Jason Chaffetz has introduced a bill (HR 621) that would direct the federal government to sell off 3 million acres of federal land across the West, including Montana.
Over the last few years, the American people have clearly and resoundingly rejected the idea of selling off public lands or transferring them to state or local control. Legislatures across the West have defeated bills to takeover public lands. Even Donald Trump thinks that transferring public lands is a bad idea, and his pick for Interior Secretary agrees.
At a time when our nation faces some pressing problems, Members of Congress shouldn’t be wasting their time – and our tax dollars – on this nonsense.
Please join hundreds of other Montanans in the Montana Capitol at noon on January 30 to show our leaders how important our public lands are to Montana. RSVP today!
