ongressman
Nunes (CA) has reintroducing his National M=
onument
Transparency and Accountability Act (HR758). This much needed reform
legislation will address a number of abuses possible in the current
legislation, so President's will no longer be able to use the stroke of
their pen to lock up millions of acres of your public lands. BUT WE NEED YOUR SUP=
PORT
TO URGE CONGRESS TO PASS HR758.
This
legislation would PREVENT THESE ABUSES FOREVER by reducing the amount of
land that the President can designate as a National Monument, and requi=
re
Congressional approval within 2 years of any Executive Order pursuant to
the Antiquities Act. <=
