BUSH UNDERFUNDING NATIONAL PARKS
The Bush Administration has sent Congress a national parks budget that is the worst in recent memory – proposing a $100 million cut in overall funding.
Our national parks already operate on only two-thirds of the funds they need and now it will be less if Congress approves this budget.
Inadequate funding for our parks means that historic buildings are crumbling, park roads are deteriorating, visitors centers – and bathrooms! – may be closed, and often, there’s not a ranger in sight to help visitors understand and appreciate what they’re seeing.
But you can help save our national parks from decades of neglect.
Make a donation today to NPCA so we can fight for the funding America’s national parks need.
To continue our campaign, our goal is to raise $50,000 by June 30.
It is especially important that you act today, because right now Congress is engaged in the appropriations process, deciding where your tax dollars will be spent. The decisions they make in the weeks ahead will have a huge impact on whether the National Park Service will be able to do the job we’ve entrusted to them – or if our parks will sink further into disrepair and ruin.
Please help us continue to fight for our national parks by sending your special contribution today. Your donation will help us meet our goal of raising $50,000 by June 30.
Click here to donate.
Americans overwhelmingly support increased funding for our national parks. But this budget tells us that the administration isn’t listening to America. We at NPCA are listening and with your help, we’ll make sure that Congress listens, too.
Your support is critical to our success.
