Zinke just proposed expedited processes for oil and gas drilling yesterday. You can see where we are headed with this crowd at the helm. Help!

This is what democracy looks

This is what democracy looks like.

Over 2 million comments in and estimates that only 1% favor rollbacks. Almost 700,000 on Bears Ears alone in 15 days, before the extension.

"The thicket of legal issues entangling the administration on methane comes as it is facing an onslaught on another environmental front. Its plans to roll back national monument protections — ordered by Trump himself — are about to enter a crucial stage, and the wind is hardly at the back of the White House as it does.

About 2.5 million Americans have submitted comments as Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke prepares to announce which public lands would lose protections. A large sampling analyzed by the Center for Western Priorities found just 1 percent of the comments expressed support for the Trump plan."

THANK YOU to all who participated. The work continues.

The Outdoor Retailers show, which left Utah for Denver over the state's public lands policies, will be having a march to the capitol during their last convention here in a couple of weeks.
