Save the Boundary Waters. Vote NO on HR140.
The boundary waters are a stunning vast and precious area of unspoiled wilderness.
Removing mining protections and opening them up to toxic permanent pollution from sulphide mining -- for the benefit of one Chilean magnate no less-- is a terrible idea.
If you don't care about the environment then consider: the tourism revenues from the Boundary Waters area make more profit than the mining scheme that would ruin them for one- time polluting extraction.
Do not destroy and desecrate the splendid wilderness that we hold in trust.
