Veterans and Public Lands

More rape, destruction, plundering, and robbery by the RW teahadist again.

Fellow Veterans -

Our country's public lands stand as a physical representation of the ideals in our Constitutional Republic that we, as veterans of this country, went to war to defend.

Unfortunately, Senator Lisa Murkowski of Alaska recently introduced legislation that would make it easier for the United States government to sell of those lands.

We've drafted a letter to the senator, and others who support the bill, that what she is advocating for is a bad idea, undermines our country's democratic ideals, and is unpatriotic. I hope you'll add your name to mine and sign it here:

The letter, and a list of signatories, will be delivered to the United States Senate by a number of veterans. We'll also send it to the press, and work to release the letter in target states of senators who support the bill, and have state efforts underway to seize public lands. States like Alaska, Arizona, Wyoming, Montana, Utah, Idaho, and others.

I did not swear an oath to prepare to make the greatest sacrifice, only to return home and see the lands I love taken away from the American public.

Join me in stopping the attack on our most treasured landscapes. Sign the letter.

Thank you for standing with me.
