Republicans Attack National Park Service: Your Help Needed
The Government shutdown was not the fault of the National Park Service. Yet some Republicans, such as Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif and Rep. Randy Neugebauer, R-Texas, have gone on a witch-hunt to blame the National Park Service for their party's own failure to keep the parks open. Rep. Issa has even called the Director of the Park Service, Jonathan Jarvis, before his Committee to explain why the parks were closed, even when the Republicans themselves shut down the Park Service. We call upon members of Congress to immediately stop the attack on the National Park Service.
Why is this important?
The National Park Service is composed of dedicated men and women who operate our National Park System with the upmost care and without deference to the political leanings of its visitors. They are the guardians of our national treasures. Like our men and women in military uniform, we need to protect them from political attacks. Please join me in signing this petition calling upon Republicans in Congress to stop the attacks against the National Park Service
