The bill to overturn the 20-year mining ban near the Boundary Waters is heading to the Senate floor.
 

Update on February 11: The U.S. Senate vote on HJ Res 140 has been DELAYED. But that doesn’t mean we should back down. The Senate still needs to hear from you! Your messages are working. But the outcome is far from decided. The next few weeks are critical. Your Senators need to KEEP hearing from you before they return from recess on February 23.

 This resolution is Representative Pete Stauber's attempt to use the Congressional Review Act (CRA) to overturn the 20-year mining ban protecting the Boundary Waters watershed from toxic copper mining. This bill would not only eliminate current protections but also prevent future administrations from using the same safeguards on the Boundary Waters.
