I can't believe this bill is even being considered! It's ridiculous that they want to disapprove of the rule submitted by the Bureau of Land Management. This decision will have a negative impact on our environment and wildlife. It's important to protect our natural resources, not exploit them for short-term gain. This bill needs to be stopped before it's too late.
