And if you haven't yet commented on the DOI review of National Monuments...
The deadline to comment on our website for the Department of Interior's review of 27  national monuments, including Gold Butte, is July 9, 2017. 
Click here to comment about Gold Butte National Monument to Secretary Zinke.   

An attack on one monument is an attack on all monuments. Tell Secretary Zinke and the Department of the Interior that Americans want Gold Butte, Basin and Range and all national monuments to be protected for future generations.
