Please contact your Congressman to tell him/ her to vote “no” to selling off our public lands.

Thank you,

Hi there Mike, I happen to come through the slide area on 12/10/16 just before the slide happened. Yes I will contact Jared Huffman and let him know I don’t want our public lands being sold off.
