Dear Congress(man)(lady) [name],
I am writing to strongly urge you to oppose any plan that would sell off approximately three million acres of prime American public land across 11 Western states. These lands represent some of our most valuable natural resources—critical for outdoor recreation, wildlife habitat, and the continued access Americans have come to cherish and depend on.
The precedent set by indiscriminate land sales like this could have hugely detrimental effects down the line when it comes to both access and protection. Public lands belong to all Americans, not to be auctioned off for short-term financial gain or private development. Once lost, these lands cannot be reclaimed.
I am especially concerned about the roles that Senators Mike Lee of Utah and Steve Daines of Montana have played in shaping and promoting this proposal. While fiscal responsibility is important, this plan represents by far the worst tool for profit—one that undermines public trust and sacrifices irreplaceable landscapes for unsustainable returns.
I respectfully ask you to speak out against this misguided effort and work to ensure that our public lands remain public—open, protected, and accessible for future generations.
Thank you for your service and for your consideration of this critical issue.
Sincerely,
[Your Name]
