Protect national parks from irresponsible oil and gas development.

An astounding 86% of lands managed by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) are open to oil and gas development. Over 12.4 million acres of public land are currently leased to oil and gas companies for fossil fuel extraction, even though many of these lands provide Western communities with clean water, support crucial wildlife habitat, and contain immense cultural resources.

For the first time in over 30 years, the BLM has proposed reforming its onshore oil and gas leasing program to prevent poorly sited drilling on public lands. Fossil fuel extraction on publicly managed lands and waters already account for 25% of U.S. carbon emissions.

We now have a chance to reform how oil and gas drilling takes place on millions of acres of public land, but current legislation in the US House of Representatives aims to stop it. Urge your representatives to steer future oil and gas extraction away from national parks and vote NO on H.R. 6009.

I am writing to ask you to oppose H.R. 6009 – the Restoring American Energy Dominance Act.

H.R. 6009 would stop the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) from completing long overdue updates to the onshore oil and gas program for the first time in over 30 years. This bill would not only stop the recently developed rule but would also effectively prohibit BLM from making future updates as well.

In the rule this bill would overturn BLM added extra protections for national parks during the oil and gas leasing process. It ensures that when land is offered for lease that the proximity to national parks, and how it would affect them is taken into consideration.

The rule also makes sure that public lands used by millions of Americans for recreation purposes are not impacted by oil and gas drilling. These common sense updates are needed to bring the program into the current century.

Please vote NO on H.R. 6009 to help protect national parks from irresponsible extractive development.

Thank you.
