Support the ANTIQUITIES Act of 2018

Urge your member of Congress to co-sponsor the ANTIQUITIES Act of 2018, which would restore protections for the lands of Bears Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante and safeguard other national monument lands and special wild places.

Subject: Please support the Antiquities Act of 2018 (H.R. 6410, S. 2354)

Your Letter:

As a constituent and someone who recognizes the importance of protecting America's wild places for future generations, I strongly urge you to do everything in your power to support and pass the ANTIQUITIES Act of 2018 (H.R. 6410, S. 2354).

This legislation would:  
  
- Expand protection for the Bears Ears National Monument to over 1.9 million acres, directing that it be composed of the lands identified in the Bears Ears Tribal Coalition's original proposal.

- Clarify that only Congress -- and not the President or Executive Branch -- can alter existing national monuments.

- Designate over 249,000 acres of federal public lands in New Mexico as wilderness and add over 111,000 acres of wilderness in southern Nevada, building on the monument protections in these states.

Americans love our public lands. I hope you will join me in supporting this important legislation by first co-sponsoring this legislation and then advocating to your chamber's leadership that lawmakers be given the opportunity to vote on this important legislation.

Thank you for considering my comments. I look forward to your response.
