November 27, 2017 By Dave Freeman

We’ve all worked so hard to make sure the Boundary Waters is protected from the threat of sulfide-ore copper mining on the edge of the Wilderness.
But tomorrow (Tuesday November 28) Rep. Emmer’s bill H.R. 3905 targeting the Boundary Waters is scheduled in the House Rules Committee and could head to the full House floor for a vote in the next few days.
We need you to call your Representative now, and urge them to oppose and vote no on this horrible bill that endangers the Boundary Waters.
Call using the Congressional switchboard: 202-224-3121. Choose the House of Representatives, enter your zip code and you will be connected to your Representative’s office.
Sample call script (you should speak from the heart)
Hi, my name is _____ and I am a constituent, I live in ____(city). I am urging you to vote no on Rep. Emmer’s bill H.R. 3905 which directly threatens the Boundary Waters — the most popular Wilderness in America. This bill would cancel the important two-year study of the risk of copper mining to the Boundary Waters, Quetico Park, and Voyageurs National Park. Along with most Minnesotans, I support this study and want the Boundary Waters protected. The bill also amends five longstanding bedrock conservation laws and removes Minnesota’s two national forests from their protective provisions. This is an extreme attack on public lands and I urge you to vote no on H.R. 3905 and help protect our national treasure.

PRAISE FOR A YEAR IN THE WILDERNESS
“Here’s the story of a great adventure in one of the planet’s most gorgeous wildernesses—and with high stakes at risk in a fight to stave off a truly gross assault on its integrity. So many reasons to read this book!” —BILL MCKIBBEN
“Amy and Dave Freeman have done us all an invaluable service, offering a wonderfully compelling testimony for the value of wild places and the creatures who inhabit them. I urge you to read it, and to join the Freemans in advocating for the preservation of the Boundary Waters.” —VICE PRESIDENT WALTER MONDALE
