HALF way through the second year of his ( most unfortunate ) second term it seems that NOT MY pres drumpf / trump, his corrupt drumpf / trump-vance administration and the gop / greed over people-republican party is realizing they will probably lose their ability to eliminate laws, restrictions and regulations protecting American public lands after the 2026 midterm elections. Jumping because drumpf / trump told them to jump, and because they have been bought and paid for by the rich and corporate America, fascist fotze trunt Rep celeste maloy r-UT with fascist fotze trunt Sen mikie lee r-UT, both ass-licking drumpf / trump sycophants, are introducing in the House and Senate resolutions invoking a CRA ( Congressional Review Act ) that if passed and signed by the president will revoke all regulations and protections now applied to Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument. Please sign the petition from EarthJustice to congress to defeat this CRA, and then if you have time e mail your representative and senators telling them to vote against this CRA. My e mails will be at the end of this post. If you don't think these actions do any good consider these from EarthJustice....
You level the playing field.
Elected officials pay attention when they see that we are paying attention.
They may be hearing from industry lobbyists left and right, but hearing the stories of their constituents — that’s your power.
Our legislators serve at the pleasure of the people who gave them their job — you.
Make sure your elected officials know whose community and whose values they represent. When you contact your elected official, you’re putting a face and a name on an issue.
Whether or not you voted for them, they work for you, for the duration of their term.
Make sure your elected officials know whose community and whose values they represent. (Find your local, state, and federal elected officials.)
Your action is with us in court.
If a federal agency finalizes a harmful action, the record of public comments provides a basis for bringing them into court.
Throughout each of the public comment periods we alert you to, Earthjustice’s attorneys are researching and writing in-depth, technical comments to submit — detailing how the regulation could and should be stronger to protect the environment, our communities, and our planet.
We need you to join us — your specific experiences, knowledge, and voice are crucial to add to the Administrative Record through the comment periods.
Lawsuits we file that challenge weak or harmful federal regulations rely on what was submitted during the comment period. The court can only look at documents that are in the Administrative Record — including the public comments — to decide if the agency did something improper.
Your actions aid our litigation. Taking action and submitting comments during a comment period is substantively important.
It’s the law.
Federal agencies must pause what they’re doing and ask for — and consider — your comment.
Many of us may have never heard of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and the Administrative Procedure Act (APA), but laws like these require our government to ask the public to weigh in before agencies adopt or change regulations.
Regulations essentially describe how federal agencies will carry out laws — including decisions that could undermine science, or weaken safeguards on public health.
Public comments are collected at various points throughout the federal government’s rulemaking process, including when a regulation is proposed and finalized. (Learn about the rulemaking process.) These comments become part of the official, legal public record — the “Administrative Record.”
When the public responds with a huge outpouring of support for environmental protections, these individual messages collectively undercut politicians' attempts to claim otherwise.
What this means is each of us can take a role in shaping the rules our government creates — and ensuring those rules are fair and effective.
