Omnibus Public Land Management Act on U.S. House Floor

    It's not too late to take action once more to pass historic wilderness legislation. Even if you took action on this last week, we need you once more. 
    Phone calls would be best. Please call and urge your Representative to pass the Omnibus Public Land Management Act, without a motion to recommit (which could kill the bill for this
year).
    If you cannot call, click here to send a quick email:

    Simply put, it could all come down to your Representative. 
    This piece of wilderness legislation is monumental. It would protect more wild lands than any other bill in recent history. In fact, if passed, it will protect 2 million acres of special
wild places throughout the nation. 
    It would be heartbreaking to come so far and then miss out by a
few votes. If you've taken action in the past, thank you. You've
helped wilderness get this far. Now, won't you please take one
more simple step to make the dream a reality:
