Senate Parliamentarian Greenlights Public Lands Sale Bill

It's time to really work the phones for public lands.

This afternoon, the Senate Parliamentarian cleared Senator Mike Lee's public land sales bill for inclusion in the full Senate budget, deeming it compliant with the Byrd Rule. This was a major hurdle that now makes the threat of large-scale public lands sale more real than ever.

Senator Lee's proposal would mandate the sale of up to 1.2 million acres of BLM land across 11 Western states - including Idaho - over the next 10 years. Parcels given the highest priority for sale would be those with the "highest value". That would include many of our most cherished hunting and fishing spots.

It is now more critical than ever that we contact our Senators and tell them how much these places mean to us. Thank them for supporting public lands. Ask them to vote no on any bill containing public lands sales, and to support an amendment to strip public lands sales from the budget. Your voice is needed, and it's needed today. “

Sounds like we need to call and write our representatives and tell them this is a horrible idea.
