Love Big Bend? A border wall through it makes no sense...call or email NOW -- deadline March 19

After you watch this brief report, we highly recommend this article in the Big Bend Sentinel, "It's Not Over, Walls Are Still on the Map."

Thanks to former Texas Land Commissioner, Jerry Patterson, and MANY others, the plan for a wall through Big Bend, one of the most biodiverse national parks in the country, is getting some reconsideration. But it ain't over 'til the fat lady sings. So start singing, Texans. Jerry asks us to: Email your comments to:

DO IT NOW Here's Jeff Harper's (federal budget nerd since Perot '92) letter you can use as an example-- but please, use your own words:

Dear DHS Officials,

I am writing to register my opposition to a wall being built in the treasured region that is Big Bend.

There are far better options for allocating taxpayer dollars in the maintenance of national borders.

This approach is woefully impractical, a waste of taxpayer dollars that will do tremendous damage to a national treasure.

Please take the proper action for all things concerned.

Cordially, Jeff Harper - Texas

Love Big Bend, folks? Do it NOW!
