Friend --

Today, the House voted to pass the historic Great American Outdoors Act
to permanently fund the Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) at its fully
authorized level of $900 million per year.

I am proud to have championed this bill while it was in the Senate. Not only
does the LWCF need this funding to continue protecting our beautiful public
lands -- it does so at no cost to the taxpayer. The funding comes from offshore
oil and gas royalties, while also supporting an outdoor recreation economy that
generates more than $887 billion in consumer spending annually AND maintains 7.6
million jobs across the country.

But this is far from over. We know that this administration has a history of slashing public land
protections and rolling back environmental protections.

I need your help to get this important bill over the finish line. Tell President Trump to
sign the Great American Outdoors Act to protect both our public lands and our economy.

While Americans are eager to get outdoors in open spaces, there is an atrocious backlog of necessary
maintenance projects for our public lands. In addition to providing $900 million in funding to the LWCF
every year, this bill will also provide $9.5 billion to help us take care of long-overdue investments
in our shared public lands, while providing a big boost to the multi-billion dollar outdoor recreation
economy and the millions of jobs it supports.

I have been working hard throughout my career in the Senate to pass bipartisan
laws just like this -- laws that protect our environment and the outdoor spaces we
all enjoy while boosting our economy. Now, I need your help to get the job done.

Send a message to the president: Add your name to tell him to sign the Great
American Outdoors Act.
