Protect the Antiquities Act

Senator Mary Landrieu, D-Louisiana, has introduced S. 3438, a bill that would weaken the Antiquities Act. Enacted during Theodore Roosevelt's presidency, the Antiquities Act gives presidents the authority to establish national monuments that give immediate protection to special places on public lands and at sea. The Landrieu bill would stop President Bush and his successor from using this successful conservation law to establish marine national monuments.

Please contact your senators. Urge them to protect the Antiquities Act by opposing S. 3438.

Policy Director Jim DiPeso blogs on this website and also—as "The Green Conservative"— on The Daily Green. Here are a few of his recent posts there:


"Republicans for Environmental Protection represents the very best of the Republican Party. It's pragmatic. It advocates policies that are good in their own right. It represents the mainstream of Republican thought. I encourage all conservation-minded Republicans to join me in supporting REP's work." — Theodore Roosevelt IV, Lifetime Member

"I applaud the terrific work you are doing to restore the Republican Party's conservation tradition and advance responsible environmental policies. Our country has made the most progress in protecting our environment when Republicans have been strong leaders, and we need that leadership now more than ever. I fully support your organization's critically important mission." — Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger
