This Week's Challenge:
  • Perhaps tonight is the perfect night to rent a movie, pop your own popcorn, and send the $30 each month you would have spent to the American Lands Council and help fund this critical effort.
  • Continue to share the White Paper and its Summary with someone you haven't shared it with yet and ask them to give you their feedback.

    Please share this White Paper

    Greetings!

    As always is the case, we have great news and we have challenging news:  The great news is (i) that in just over one year ALC has been the catalyst for five states passing transfer of public lands legislation and South Carolina passing a resolution supporting the transfer of public lands to willing western states; and (ii) we have opportunities to educate and build coalitions throughout the west and the nation. (See list of upcoming education opportunities below).
     
    The challenging news is that meeting these opportunities and moving this effort forward takes money!
     
    In order to educate people all over the United States, we have to travel the United States.  Almost every trip has a plane ticket, rental cars, hotel rooms and food, not to mention printed materials and maintaining the rest of our ongoing efforts to move this forward and keep you informed.  The next few months are shaping up to be busier and more productive than ever.

    To give you an idea of the expenses ahead for just the next couple of months, here's an itinerary of just some of our upcoming education and outreach opportunities:

    We have a window of opportunity to broaden our base of support even more for the only solution big enough to (i) fund education, (ii) better care for our lands and forest, (iii) protect access, (iv) create jobs, and (v) grow local, state, and national economies.

     

    But, we need your help!
     Please do what you can.  In fact, give just a little more than you feel you can.  If $10 is comfortable, please send $15.  If $100 is easy, ask yourself if you can give $200.  If you're one of those who have been richly blessed, perhaps you can do much more.  Simply ask yourself, "What is the very best I can do?"  I promise you'll be rewarded for your sacrifice.
     
    Please know that whatever amount you are able to give, you will be helping to further the only effort that presents a solution that is actually big enough to deal with the tremendous issues facing our communities, states and nation by banding together to compel Congress to honor to today's western states the very same statehood promises it made and kept with Hawaii and all states east of Colorado to transfer title to the public lands.
