Please take a moment to contact your U.S. Senators and urge them to oppose H.J. Res. 140. A short call, email, or message saying you care about clean water, wilderness, and public lands really does matter. If people stay quiet, this will pass quietly. If enough of us speak up, it doesn’t have to.

This fight isn’t over yet. The resolution has now moved to the United States Senate. Senators will decide whether this rollback stands or stops here. That means the pressure point is right now, and it’s federal not at the state level.

This kind of mining has a long track record of polluting water through acid mine drainage and heavy metals, damage that can last for generations. Once water is contaminated, there’s no undo button and the Boundary Waters is exactly the kind of place that deserves better.

Today, the US House voted 214-208 to pass HJ Res. 140, a resolution that would undo a 20-year ban on mining near the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness and throughout the surrounding watershed in northern Minnesota. That ban existed for a reason the land drains directly into the Boundary Waters,

One of my favorite Food Network Stars. Sassy and a fun watch on any show she was on. I was wondering why she didn’t host the latest Worst Cooks. It wasn’t as good without her. So sad.

Plus, Robyn’s two pieces looked to be about the same size as the one piece the others took. It was a little too over dramatic reaction from the other teams

I hope she watches this back and calls off the wedding immediately.

Now that she just announced this week she is retiring and won’t run for reelection at the tender age of her mid sixties, she is emboldened to really speak the truth. She has been a really good senator. I hope we fill her seat with someone who is as good or better.

Truly, this meme is really inconsiderate. This old lady has got a lot of fight left in her! It’s one of the main reasons I’m here!
