Dear John, 

 

We are excited to announce that today Minnesota’s U.S. Senator Tina Smith urged the U.S. Secretary of Agriculture and the U.S. Secretary of the Interior to re-initiate an environmental review process for a 20-year ban on sulfide-ore copper mining in the watershed of the Boundary Waters Wilderness.

Senator Smith’s action is great news for the defenders of our nation’s most visited national Wilderness Area and a critical step toward permanent protection of the Boundary Waters from sulfide-ore copper mining. Please thank Senator Smith by giving her a call today.

 

Call 202-224-5641 to thank Senator Smith now.

Sample script:

“Hi, my name is _your name_ from _your city and state_. Thank you for stepping up to protect our Boundary Waters so all future generations can enjoy this pristine Wilderness.”

 

 

In response to Sen. Smith's letter, Campaign to Save Boundary Waters Executive Director Tom Landwehr said:

"Senator Tina Smith's support for protecting this priceless natural wonder, and the thousands of jobs that depend upon it, is tremendous news for not just Minnesotans, but for the hundreds of thousands of Americans who love this special place." 

Thank Senator Smith by calling 202-224-5641.

 

Thanks to supporters like you, and elected officials like Senator Tina Smith, we are closer to achieving our goal of permanent protection of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness from the proposed sulfide-ore copper mining on upstream public lands.

Help show your support for Senator Smith’s critical leadership by taking a minute to thank her now. Call 202-224-5641 to say THANK YOU!

 

For the Wilderness,
Alex Falconer
