Thank you for sticking up for our #publiclands Senator Hick!
Right before the holidays, Republicans keep looking for sneaky ways to sell off our public lands and national parks – this time as an amendment to the Interior appropriations bill. We stopped them before, and we’re ready to do it again. OUR PUBLIC LANDS ARE NOT FOR SALE.
