Standing up to 6% Steve

10% of Americans think the world is flat. That’s higher than the percentage of Montanans – just 6% – who support Sen. Steve Daines’ attempts to strip protections from wilderness study areas.

That hasn’t stopped Daines from pushing forward with his bill to slash protections across over 100,00 acres of public lands.

His latest bill, which we covered here, has advanced out of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee, making this the closest any of his anti-wilderness study area bills have ever been to becoming law. With the future of 100,000 acres on the line, we’re calling on Daines to give up the backroom dealings and do what he’s never done: meet openly and honestly with the people who elected him and work with them to determine the future of our wilderness study areas.

We’re gathering signatures on a petition demanding that Daines meet publicly with Montanans to hear our concerns. Add your name today to stand with us, and thousands of others, who won’t roll over for the senator’s agenda.

Sign the Petition Today

We’ll deliver the petition to the Daines to make it clear that we won’t tolerate his latest top-down attempt to strip protections from our public lands.

While he’s pushing legislation that imperils fish, wildlife, and Montana communities, Daines is ignoring actual on-the-ground efforts to come up with common-sense solutions for the future of wilderness study areas. While he likes to pay lip service to the importance of locally driven solutions, he’s ignored locals’ hard work, preferring to listen to a small sliver of special interest groups.

We won’t stand by while Daines tries to pull the wool over Montanans’ eyes by stripping protections from wilderness study areas. We’re committed to holding Daines accountable for disrespecting Montanans and pushing special-interest agendas, and I invite you to be there with us.
