To: The Montana State House, The Montana State Senate, and Governor Steve Bullock
Keep Montana's Public Lands Public
We the undersigned petition the political leaders of the Great State of Montana to vigorously defend the American legacy of public land ownership in the United States of America. The public lands in Montana – our national forests and rangelands – provide us with jobs, our clear water, habitat for our wildlife, and the places we recreate and rejuvenate. We ask that you resist efforts to “transfer” these American lands to the state, and defend one of America’s greatest achievements: the public land legacy of our nation.
Why is this important?
Do you like owning over 1/3 of America's real estate? The public lands of Montana - our national forests and rangelands - are owned by the People of the United States of America for the benefit of present and future generations. No other nation on earth has bestowed such a vast estate upon its citizens. America's public lands represent one of the world's greatest legacies to the citizens of any nation. Please sign the petition. Send it to friends. Meet with your local legislators and ask them to sign the petition to protect public ownership of public lands. Please act now!
