Proposed Bill Threatens Over 250 Million Acres of US Public Lands

A recent video circulating online highlights concerns over a proposed bill that could lead to the sale of over 250 million acres of public land across the United States. The "big bEautiFul bill," as described in the video, has been revised to include provisions for oil drilling, energy production, and infrastructure development on these lands. The video showcases various iconic natural landscapes, including areas near Yosemite, Big Sur, Lake Tahoe, Sedona, Grand Canyon, San Juan Forest, Grand Tetons, and Mt Rainier, implying that these regions, among others, could be impacted. A map illustrating "Public Lands at Risk of Sell-off" is presented, indicating that the proposed changes could affect numerous states. Advocates are urging citizens to contact their senators to oppose the revision, emphasizing that these lands, once sold, may not be recoverable. The video concludes with the message, "This land belongs to us. It is not for sale," underscoring the sentiment of those concerned about the future of public lands.
