Much of our work at this time is focusing on the upcoming legislative sessions throughout the United States.  Last year five states passed legislation working towards a Transfer of Public Lands (TPL) and many western states are currently preparing legislation to work towards a TPL to the states. Some are following up on the assignments of their Task Forces from the 2013 legislative sessions. Also, there are many states in the East who are preparing Resolutions for their states in support of the TPL as they realize that all of our economies hinge upon each of the states being able to access their own resources.  We are working closely with many of these states to help them prepare their bills and educate those in their states about the facts.

In the month of December, we are spending time at the ALEC convention in Washington DC, working with legislators throughout the country.  We will also be doing a trip through Montana next week that will be loaded with meetings.  If you are in that area, please join us.  You should have received an email earlier this week with that schedule.  (If you need one, please reply to this email.) If we aren't going to be in your area this month, never fear!  We'll be back to MT in January!
