Dear John,  

Did you see Becky’s email this morning? Foreign mining pawn Representative Pete Stauber is on the defense right now and is doing all he can to attack the Boundary Waters - and we need your help. 

Thanks to your support so far, we were able to defeat Stauber and his anti-Wilderness allies' most recent attacks in the Natural Resources Committee today! But make no mistake - whether it’s more of these obscure legislative attacks, lawsuits brought by Antofagasta - the foreign mining company trying to sell out our Wilderness, or pro-mining think tanks trying to lobby lawmakers to ram sulfide-ore mining next to the Boundary Waters through - they won’t stop and neither can we!

Rush a gift today for the Boundary Waters, and you will be part of the solution to protect the BWCA from anti-Wilderness corporate interests.

There are powerful forces we’re up against in our efforts to protect the Boundary Waters. Can I count on you to chip in for the Boundary Waters today?

For the Wilderness,

Alex Falconer

Dear John,  

U.S. Rep. Pete Stauber and his copper-mining industry cronies will stop at nothing to force dangerous sulfide-ore copper mining in the watershed of the Boundary Waters.

Today, Rep. Stauber is using an obscure and unusual legislative process to attempt to block Congress from moving our Boundary Waters protections forward.

Chances to pass a major law like our Boundary Waters bill are rare, and Rep. Pete Stauber and his anti-Wilderness bullies will fight tooth and nail to prevent it. That's why we're pulling out all the stops in the next few months. Your donations make it possible to finally pass this historic bill.

Boundary Waters opponents are lurking in the highest of places. In addition to Stauber's actions, Chilean mining conglomerate Antofagasta - the owner of Twin Metals - filed a lawsuit this summer in an attempt to resurrect their toxic sulfide-ore copper mine on the edge of the Boundary Waters. This lawsuit is a clear attempt to work against the will of the people.

How can we put an end to these severe, relentless attacks on the Boundary Waters? We have to win strong, long-term protections that can’t be easily unraveled by the mining industry or anyone’s future political whims. But we need your help. 

For the Wilderness,

Becky Rom
