Last week, the House Natural Resources Committee heard testimony on H.R. 3565, the “Federal Land Freedom Act,” a bill from Rep. Diane Black (R-TN) that would transfer power to states to make decisions on oil and gas development on national public lands. The bill would give states, rather than the national owners of national public lands (us!), the authority to decide where and how energy development is allowed—but only so long as those decisions result in an increase in energy development.

Please take a minute to write to your member of Congress and let her or him know that you see through this transparent attack on public management of public lands.
