Republican Senator: I'm sorry the gas prices are going up but your national security is more important than your pocketbook







A Chilean mining conglomerate is pouring money into lobbying efforts to get the Senate to do some serious legislative gymnastics and greenlight a sulfide copper-nickel mine in the headwaters of Minnesota’s Boundary Waters. The minerals they mine will be shipped to China to be smelted, manufactured into products, and then sold back to us — all while polluting some of our most precious public lands in the process. If we don’t stop them, it would open a Pandora's box of threats to public lands in other parts of the country. Every public land order could be reversed. The Senate needs to stand firm: We are pro-mining, but not this mine in this place.
