PLEASE CALL TODAY! We just found out that Representative Tom Emmer officially introduced a horrible bill that singles out Minnesota as being unworthy of the fundamental environmental protections afforded to the rest of the country and directly puts the Boundary Waters at risk from sulfide-ore copper mining along lakes and rivers that flow into the Wilderness. The bill is also co-sponsored by Minnesota Congressmen Collin Peterson and Jason Lewis.
The Boundary Waters needs your help right away. Please call your Representative right away and tell them you are opposed to this bill and want to see the Boundary Waters protected, not put at risk from sulfide-ore copper mining.

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 script (and speak from the heart)
“I’m a constituent and I’m calling to tell [Rep. X] to protect the Boundary Waters from proposed sulfide-ore copper mining on the Wilderness edge. The Boundary Waters is the most visited Wilderness area in America and has come under direct threat today from an outrageous bill introduced by Representative Tom Emmer. I’m asking [Rep. X] to oppose this bill (H.R. 3905) and support the current study federal agencies are already conducting to determine whether the Boundary Waters watershed is the wrong place for sulfide-ore copper mining. #savetheBWCA #boundarywaters #wildernessyear
