Hi John,

U.S. Rep. Stauber of northern Minnesota is up to no good again. His playbook is clear: to open up the Boundary Waters to toxic copper mining.

Today, a key committee in the U.S. House of Representatives will host a hearing on five terrible amendments that all attack Boundary Waters protections. Who introduced these? Rep. Stauber, of course.   

He’s attacking the Boundary Waters from all angles. Rep. Stauber tacked these anti-Boundary Waters amendments onto the critical National Defense Authorization Act. These amendments have nothing to do with national defense and are a sneaky way to overturn Wilderness protections.

It's not enough that his bill 3195 passed last month in the U.S. House—a bill with the sole purpose of overturning the BWCA mining ban—now he's introduced a slew of amendments that directly harm the Boundary Waters.

That’s why we must focus on electing Boundary Waters champions. 

There are less than five months until one of the most crucial elections that will determine the future of not only the Boundary Waters, but all of America’s public lands. The future of the plants, animal species, livelihoods, and people who depend on wild places for survival hangs in the balance.

We are gaining momentum. But we need your support. Rush a gift to fund the electoral work to Save the Boundary Waters permanently >>
