Tell Trump EPA You Oppose Their Proposed Regulation That Will Make Water Dirtier
The Trump Administration’s Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), along with the Army Corps of Engineers, recently issued a rule rescinding the Clean Water Rule of 2015. This is terrible news for our children. As pro-life Christians, we stand firmly against actions by the President and his Administration that will make our water sources dirtier, as this will do. The 30-day comment period for this proposed Trump rule that will make our water dirtier begins today, and we urge everyone to submit a comment opposing this rule.

Senate Stands Strong for Land and Water Conservation

Over 95,000 pro-life Christians are calling on Senators to defend the Bureau of Land Management’s (BLM’s) Methane Rule, issued in November 2016. This regulation is under attack in Congress.

These efforts and the anger of outdoors folks forced Mr. Chaffetz to withdraw HB 621, a bill designed to sell-off millions of acres of public lands.
