Im writing to urge you to stand with rural Oregon to oppose a national monument in Malheur County without a vote of Congress.



As you know, President Obama has been declaring monuments around the country and another one has been proposed for southeastern Oregon.



But this monument proposal is too big, unnecessary and harmful to local families.



At 2.5 million acres, it would be bigger than the states of Delaware and Rhode Island  combined. It would add restrictions to land already protected by more than 10 federal acts and laws. 



A Malheur County monument would also put the future of the regions economy and the entire community at risk. A monument would dramatically restrict access to public lands to benefit the economy, the environment and wildlife. Malheur County ranks fourth among all Oregon counties in farm and ranch sales, and it is Oregons No. 1 cattle producing county. Local families are also the first responders when a wildfire strikes, and they are out removing invasive plants and improving wildlife habitat.



An Owyhee monument threatens all of that. I urge you to oppose a Malheur County monument without a vote of Congress.
