I'm feeling motivated + inspired to create a carousel post for Instagram sharing your latest findings to keep people informed so they can do something. Thanks Wes.

GD vampires sucking the life blood from our sacred lands and country. We need to put a stop to this nightmare. Enough with the greed and capitalism. Public lands are our lands and we need them accessible for ALL people. We need to be relentless sharing this information and storming their socials, email them and call them, not to mention more protests until we can vote these A-holes out of office!

There is nothing this country will not sacrifice on the altar of capitalism. Our religion is money and if it can be monetized it will be, all other considerations be damned.

They will never be happy until there's no wilderness or farm land left and every cent has been sacked out of it.

Not sure what to say.

Is burgum as bad or worse than james watt? I remember he rustled a lot of feathers. But maybe zink is the worst Sec Interior ever.

You left out the part where you provide guidance as to what we can do to fight this awful plan again Wes. It’s the main reason I’m not a paid subscriber.

Please forgive me for not copy/pasting work that already exists, and causing you the severe trauma of clicking links:

- https://wessiler.substack.com/p/we-can-beat-them

- https://wessiler.substack.com/p/the-plan-to-beat-trump-on-public

- https://wessiler.substack.com/p/how-you-can-fight-the-house-budget

But honestly, the most important thing any of us can do is work to beat the GOP in the mid-terms, with as big a majority as possible. Talk to you friends, neighbors, family and colleagues about this stuff. Explain who's doing it and why. Help them understand that not only are they not billionaires, but that giving all our money to the richest people hurts the rest of us. Threaten to withhold your subscriptions unless they vote.

We all know the first step: spread this information to everyone you know and ask them to call or email their Senators and Representative. It is probably also a good idea to put pressure on your state politicians, if they are Republicans they may be able to influence this Congress. The bottom line is that this is Congress’ decision and the best way to influence them is to let them know that you are aware of what they are doing and you oppose any cuts to public lands and that you will vote accordingly.
