It won’t cost you a dime to join, But... it may cost you so very much If you don’t.

What we are working to do, through legislation, is

Protect the beauty and tranquility of the Black Hills,

the wildlife that dwell within,

and the clean drinking water that we all need to survive.

To do that, we must stop commercial mining on our public lands in the Black Hills.

We will be working through our elected Legislators to achieve this, to get the 1872 Mining Law amended to designate public land that would be off limits to all commercial mining: gold, lithium, uranium, copper, etc.

But we need YOUR help to make that possible. "We The People" are a powerful force. All you need to do to help is add your name, and have any other persons you know add theirs to the petition opposing the commercial mining on public lands in the Black Hills.

In 1903, President Theodore Roosevelt camped with his respected friend, John Muir, (Founder of the Sierra Club) in what is now Yosemite National Park. During that visit the President and Muir determined that certain parcels of land in the United States should be preserved by the Government from desecration and set aside for Public enjoyment and the enhancement of Wildlife for generations. Upon returning to Washington, President Roosevelt addressed Congress with that proposal, stating "We are not building this Country for just a day. It is to last for the ages". Thus began the real push by the Government to protect these great places for all time.

The Black Hills are one of these unique parcels of land that should be protected.
