As a sportsman and American public land owner, I urge you to help stop the precedent-setting sale of a national wildlife refuge in Puerto Rico.
- Puerto Rico is currently $72 billion in debt and thus could never afford the management costs of the Vieques NWR, which is currently managed by the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service. Handing over American public lands to Puerto Rico has but one possible result: a public lands sale.
- Puerto Rico never asked for this land.
- The Vieques National Wildlife Refuge is currently owned by every American, not the people of Puerto Rico. We all should have a say in the future ownership of our American public lands - and we believe strongly that our members of Congress should vote to keep it public!
