Americans all across the country, of all backgrounds, and of all political views, care deeply about the health of our land and

water resources—the wildlife, parks, forests, farms and ranchlands, and historic places that have sustained and

enriched us as a people over generations. We are past due for a serious look at where we stand as a country in achieving

our goal of safeguarding these resources.

Senator Lamar Alexander (TN) & Senator Jeff Bingaman (NM)July 2009
