I've been absolutely amazed by how many people of differing backgrounds have come together to fight to save our public lands. In a country that's supposedly as divided as we are, to see everyone put aside their differences and fight to conserve public lands for all, it has been awesome to watch.
You've got the granola girlies, the "bloodthirsty" hunters, the stoned Colorado climbers, and every other stereotyped outdoor group under the sun putting the heat to their elected representatives to kill this absolutely asinine public land sales provision put into the "Big, Beautiful Bill." I mean, there's a reason why the public support of public lands is something in the neighborhood of 70-80% from the last polls.
And to watch the vitriol and seething anger directed toward the Captain Planet villain, and chief architect of this public land sales proposal, who is my own Senator Mike Lee, well, that's been just a cherry on top.
