Join Others in Telling Congress Not to Sell Off Public Lands for Private Gain
I am opposed to giving away or selling public lands for local development.
The Washington County Growth and Conservation Act (S. 3636), recently introduced by Utah's Sen. Robert Bennett and Rep. Jim Matheson, would dispose of thousands -- possibly tens of thousands -- of acres of public lands in southwestern Utah while leaving the majority of wilderness quality lands in Washington County unprotected.
Congress should not raid our public lands to pay for local development. Our public lands belong to all of us.

This beautiful wilderness needs our protection against greedy developers who would eagerly destroy it with uncontrolled growth. Once this area is developed it will be lost forever. Please do everything possible to save it for our future generations to enjoy it as much as I do.

As property owners in nearby Garfield County, we are adamantly opposed to any privatization or development of public lands in Washington County. Leave the land empty, silent and beautiful for our future generations to enjoy!

On top of the astounding beauty of these lands, we need to think more critically about continued growth in our desert ecosystems. Opening up more land to development doesn't make any ecological sense. What kind of future are we aiming towards?

These lands are precious to all of us in the USA and efforts to compromise the Wilderness value must be countered.

My family and I have traveled into this region many dozens of times for nearly 50 years. It is a treasure that all our country's citizens share, not a private reserve for local elitists and exploiters.

I have visted Washington County many times to enjoy the wonderful natural areas. It is my favorite place in the U.S.and don't want to see it ruined.
