Dear John, 

We have exciting news this Earth Day! Congresswoman Betty McCollum just introduced a bill in Congress to permanently protect the Boundary Waters! The Boundary Waters Wilderness Protection and Pollution Prevention Act will remove the threat of sulfide-ore copper mining from the watershed of the Boundary Waters and Voyageurs National Park permanently for all generations to enjoy.

You can help this bill get passed. Will you take a minute to call your US House Representative’s office asking them to support Betty’s bill? A sample script is below. We need people from Minnesota and across the Country to raise their voices now asking your Congressperson to support The Boundary Waters Wilderness Protection and Pollution Prevention Act
