The Senate is about to decide whether any public land protection in America can be erased with 51 votes.

This week, senators will vote on H.J. Res. 140, a resolution that goes far beyond the Boundary Waters. If it passes, Congress will have successfully used the Congressional Review Act to retroactively wipe out a land withdrawal, something that has never been done before.

That means protections finalized years ago can be reclassified, reopened, and revoked whenever power changes hands.

Not just in Minnesota. Anywhere.

The Boundary Waters is the test case. A million acres of interconnected lakes and forest. Upstream from a sulfide-ore copper mine owned by a foreign corporation. A watershed that supports 17,000 jobs and has never hosted this kind of mining because every comparable mine has contaminated water.

But the precedent is the real bomb.

If the CRA can be stretched this far, no monument, watershed, or administrative withdrawal is secure unless Congress itself created it. Decades of conservation law become provisional.

The Senate can stop this.

Call your senators. Call the Republicans listed in the piece. Tell them H.J. Res. 140 isn’t just about one mine. It’s about whether settled public land protections still mean anything in this country.

Share this before the vote.
