Dear John,
If you weren’t able to join our live stream, just now Representative Betty McCollum introduced her bill H.R. 5598 to protect the Boundary Waters and Voyageurs National Park from sulfide-ore copper mining! Her bill would remove this threat permanently and establish the protections needed to keep these national treasures pristine for all generations to come.
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 H.R. 5598.
Call the Capitol switchboard at: 202-224-3121
