This is an urgent appeal. I am writing to express my deep concern regarding the potential sale of our public lands to corporations or foreign entities. Our nation's public lands hold immense historical and cultural significance, embodying the rich heritage that defines us as a people. The establishment of the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) in the western states was a testament to our collective commitment to responsibly manage and preserve the breathtaking landscapes that make up our country. These lands were entrusted to be stewarded for the benefit of the American people. Selling off these lands to entities that may not share our values of respect, admiration, and cherishing of our homeland poses a significant risk. Our unique ecosystems, home to iconic species such as the free-ranging American bison, pronghorn, Peninsular Bighorn, pupfish, and more, could face irreversible loss. Generations of Americans have invested their blood, sweat, and tears in the acquisition and maintenance of these lands. It is our collective responsibility to ensure that they remain a lasting legacy for the benefit of current and future generations. I urge you to consider the profound consequences of such a decision and to take necessary measures to protect our public lands from being sold out from under us. Preserving these lands is not just a matter of policy; it is a pledge to safeguard our natural heritage and honor the sacrifices made by those who came before us. Thank you for your attention to this critical matter, and I trust that you will make decisions that reflect the best interests of the American people and the preservation of our invaluable public lands.
