John,
What politicians are doing to our public lands was once
unthinkable. Now it's shockingly common ... and we need
your help to stop it.

Carrizo Plain National Monument in Southern California is under
attack. The Bureau of Land Management has approved a plan to drill for
oil and run a pipeline right through the middle of this national
treasure.
Allowing this to happen not only goes against what our national
monuments stand for, but also sets a dangerous precedent: that oil
wells and pipelines should be allowed on these protected areas across
the nation.
Drilling and mining forever change the landscapes they touch, long
after anyone has stopped exploiting them. We shouldn't permanently
scar our public lands for the temporary benefit of just a few people.
John,
these lands belong to the public, not to private companies. You can
help protect them from destructive exploitation by making a special,
one-time contribution today.

Carrizo Plains is home to tremendous diversity and richness of
plants and wildlife, including spectacular super blooms that paint the
ground in gold and purple. Drilling for oil and building a pipeline in
this breathtaking place could irreversibly harm threatened and
endangered species, cause air pollution or oil spills, and mar the
scenic views that visitors come from all over the country to
experience first-hand.
If these attacks on public lands continue, more special places and
irreplaceable vistas will be ruined ... so that a few private
companies can profit.
Our public lands are exactly that: Ours. Please help us keep them
that way. Your tax-deductible gift today will support all our vital
work, including the fight to preserve public lands and block any
measure that eliminates funding or sells these lands off.

Now more than ever, these shared spaces should be loved and
enjoyed by families from all walks of life. But powerful politicians
and companies are working to convert public property to private
profit.
That's why I'm asking you, John, to contribute to the work
of The Trust for Public Land.

Over the next five years, The Trust for Public Land has set a goal
to protect one million acres of land. Let's start here.
Let's start now.
