Our federal lands are being mined, drilled, logged and just about everything else you can name ­ but because of the Republicans¹ reckless and irresponsible shutdown of the federal government, we can't be there to hike or camp, and our park rangers can't be there to respond to emergencies.

We need to get our priorities straight. That's why I started my own campaign on CREDOMobilize.com, which allows activists to start their own petitions. My petition, which is to Secretary of the Interior Sally Jewell and Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack, says the following:

Stop allowing mining, drilling and other dirty energy extraction activities on federally protected lands while visitors are locked out and employees are home without pay.

Tell Secretary Jewell and Secretary Vilsack: If Americans can't use public lands during the government shutdown, fossil fuel companies shouldn't either.

I just met a furloughed National Park Service employee the other day on my way to the Capitol. He told me he knows there are bigger issues at stake than his paycheck, and he wants us to stand up for our public lands and our democracy instead of giving away the store. I'm asking you to tell Secretary Jewell and Secretary Vilsack the same.

Thank you for your support.
