Fully funding Air Traffic Controllers to keep us from being inconvenienced is NOTHING to the tragedy that is likely from not fully funding the USDA Forest Service's Firefighters! Much of the country is looking at extreme fire weather, earlier than ever before, and billions of dollars in natural resources, homes and lives could be lost because Congress has only partially funded the essential hiring of firefighters. Our elected officials are playing with our lives, and this must STOP! Fully fund the USDA Forest Service, to hire all the firefighters it needs this season! Act NOW! Save the land and our LIVES!
Why is this important?
Much of the country is looking at the worst fire season ever. Congress has cut the funding to hire seasonal firefighters, which will leave us with overworked and dangerously tired firefighters, and billions of dollars lost in natural resources, homes and lives.
