Dear President
Obama,
I am appalled at
what the Interior Appropriations Committee of the House of Representatives has
attempted to do to our nation's environmental laws. The bill they hope to pass would cripple the
EPA, allow for uranium mining of 1 million acres at the pristine Grand Canyon,
slash funding for critical conservation programs like the Land and Water
Conservation Fund, and eliminate laws that protect water on our national
forests.
I urge you to
oppose the Interior spending bill passed by the House Appropriations
Committee. This is an extreme assault on
America's bedrock environmental protections. These cuts will do little to
change the long-term deficit but represent a radical abandonment of a century
of bipartisan support for conservation and environmental protection in America.
