Opposition to H.R. 1408, the Southeast Alaska Native Land Entitlement Finalization and Job Protection Act, which would grant unprecedented special rights to the Sealaska Corporation, a multi-million dollar Alaska Native Corporation (ANC), to log a significant portion of the last remaining large tree old-growth stands in the Tongass National Forest. Support for Alternative C of the Draft Comprehensive Conservation Plan/Environmental Impact Statement for the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge because it recommends Wilderness designation for the Arctic Refuges incomparable Coastal Plain Wilderness Study Area.

Opposition to H.R. 4402, the National Strategic and Critical Minerals Production Act of 2012, which hides the mining industrys irresponsible environmental practices from the public on the publics federally managed lands. Opposition to various pieces of legislation that are essentially Trojan horses for mandating or incentivizing damaging logging and grazing across vast swaths of our public lands with limited or no public input, and for handing over unprecedented control of federal lands management to the states in the name of fire and insect prevention. The legislation includes H.R. 5744, the Catastrophic Wildfire Prevention Act of 2012; H.R. 6089, the Healthy Forest Management Act of 2012; H.R. 4331, the National Forest Emergency Response Act; and Sections 8301-8303 of H.R. 6083, the Farm Bill.
