Support for H.R. 139, the Udall-Eisenhower Arctic Wilderness Act, which designates specified lands within Alaska in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) as wilderness and components of the National Wilderness Preservation System. 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. 3210, the Retailers and Entertainers Lacey Implementation and Enforcement Fairness (RELIEF) Act, that would be devastating to the 2008 Lacey Act amendments that helped promote global forest conservation and limit illegal logging. Opposition to H.R. 4089, the Sportsmens Heritage Act, which threatens the conservation of fish, wildlife, and habitats that benefit all Americans, including conservationists and sportsmen alike. Opposition to a land exchange to facilitate the construction of a permanent gravel road between King Cove and Cold Bay, Alaska a road that would slice through the ecological heart of the Izembek National Wildlife Refuge and sacrifice high-quality Refuge and Wilderness lands. Support for strengthening the Bureau of Land Managements proposed rules for hydraulic fracturing on federal lands to include pre-fracking disclosure of chemicals. Support for designation of a National Monument for the Chimney Rock Archaeological Area. Opposition to H.R. 6082, the Congressional Replacement of President Obama's Energy-Restricting and Job-Limiting Offshore Drilling Plan, which recklessly gives away more of our coastlines to Big Oil before Congress has enacted a single safety reform following the worst environmental disaster in our nations history, the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. 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. Opposition to H.R. 5544, the Minnesota Education Investment and Employment Act, which would direct the Secretary of Agriculture to complete an expedited land exchange of approximately 86,000 acres of Minnesota School Trust Lands within the Boundary Waters Canoe Area for unidentified federal lands within the Superior or Chippewa National Forests within Minnesota. Support for a designation of a National Monument in Washingtons San Juan Islands. Opposition to H.R. 6083 (Federal Agriculture Reform and Risk Management Act of 2012), the House Farm Bill that drastically cut funding for private lands conservation programs and included harmful policy riders that undermine sound science and roll back our bedrock clean water and wildlife laws. Opposition to H.R. 6233, the supplemental agriculture disaster assistance package because it disproportionately cuts conservation programs.
