National Parks Conservation Association re: Preserving and Protecting National Parks

Dear Friend,
For over 90 years, NPCA has worked to protect and preserve our national parks. We’ve battled threats ranging from air and water pollution to badly placed mining operations and inappropriate development next to protected parklands.
Our national parks are national treasures in need of care and repair in preparation for the National Park Service’s centennial in 2016.
The 2010 election produced a substantially different Congress, with 93 new House members and 12 new Senators. We have so much to accomplish — and so much potentially standing in our way. That’s why we have to continue seeking new allies on both sides of the political aisle. Join us in sending a message to President Obama and Congress that our national parks matter. It's a simple action, and one that can have a lasting effect on the future of our national parks.
Tell Congress to act now to make our parks a priority.
It’s so important that we are always vigilant and determined to protect these incredible places. Our national parks tell the story of our nation, and we need to protect that legacy for our children and grandchildren.
Investing in our parks will improve safety and public access, preserve our national heritage, and benefit our struggling economy. National parks are America’s legacy to our children and grandchildren; protecting them means that we are protecting this legacy for the future.
Ask Congress to invest in our national parks — America's Best Idea — by ensuring they are protected and preserved. Take action for your national parks today.
Thank you for all you do to help preserve our national treasures.
Sincerely,

Thomas C. Kiernan
President
