The short explanation of this alert was:
ARRA needs your help on the National Landscape Conservation System Act once again!
Please click the Send This Message button below to send a letter to your Senators urging them to vote against omnibus legislation, H.R. 5151, that includes 150 public lands measures including the National Landscape Conservation System (NLCS) Act. H.R. 5151 would create more than a million acres of wilderness while authorizing dozens of studies for potential parks, protected rivers and historical landmarks in addition to statutorily establishing the NLCS. NLCS legislation (H.R. 2016) has already passed the full House of Representatives. If the Senate passes H.R. 5151, the NLCS Act will most assuredly be signed into law.
It is more important than ever for you to urge your Senators to vote against NLCS legislation in light of the recent launch of a Department of Interior (DOI) investigation of the existing NLCS division of the Bureau of Land Management. DOI initiated the investigation after reviewing emails and other documents that show extensive coordination between top NLCS officials and lobbyists for environmental groups as federal law generally prohibits federal employees from using appropriated funds or their official positions to lobby Congress.
Now is not the time to statutorily establish the NLCS. Please click the Send This Message button below to urge your Senators to vote no on H.R. 5151
