John,
I know you feel strongly about our public lands, which is why I need
to ask for your help as we enter this new year ahead.
Despite the growing importance of these shared spaces to families from
all walks of life, public lands are facing an unprecedented threat.
Congress has been out of session for over two weeks, and with them
back in session today, powerful politicians and special interests are
back in the halls of Congress working to convert public lands to
private profit.
Our public lands are our shared resources and natural history. They
encapsulate some of the most beautiful terrain in North America,
support our iconic wildlife, and provide an opportunity for every
citizen to experience and learn about our natural world.
To protect our public lands from
exploitation, we need to be sure that Congress listens to us -
the people who love and care for our special landscapes - and
not the private interests that seek to permanently scar our shared
lands for a temporary profit. Please help show widespread support for
public lands by telling your members of Congress that you want to
protect public lands from exploitation - not facilitate their
permanent destruction.
TAKE ACTION NOW:

Together with your help, we will:
* Win the fight for full and dedicated funding for the Land and
Water Conservation Fund (LWCF), the federal program that
protected the majestic landscape of the Grand Canyon National
Park, connected large sections of the Appalachian Trail, and has
opened public access to many more beautiful public lands across
the country.
* Protect our historically and culturally significant national
monument lands - those that have had lands harmfully
eliminated and those that are still waiting on the chopping
block.
* Prevent the sale of public lands to oil and gas companies so we
can keep public lands in public hands.
With our voices elevated together, we will show Congress
that public lands should be protected this year and for years to come.
Show your support for public lands by adding your name today.

P.S. I want to thank you on behalf of all of us here at The Trust for
Public Land for taking action this past year to protect our special
landscapes - we couldn't have done any of our important
work without your activism and support. Help us stand against attacks
on public lands again this year by adding your name to our petition
today.
