Mad Max: Fury Road is coming sooner than I thought, and Trump is already on his transition into Immortan Joe.

This has got to stop. Trump and friends, where are you going to vacation on your super yachts when our oceans turn to shit?

 

[fluffydelusions]

The oval office be like

 

[IC5]

Oild Faithful

 

[nelsonroyale]

Get out there and stop them.

 

[Lorcain]

They really are villains and don't care who knows it. This republican congress and white house are driven by the worst values and emotions: greed and fear.

 

[commedieu]

This won't happen. This is one that's going to go away quietly.

A lot of black deep underground military bases are littered through our state parks.

And lol at calling representatives.
Should have voted.

 

[VariantX]

This is like cartoon shit going on right now. It's like an alternate universe where everything is run by Captain Planet villains. But it's real.

 

[Fine Ham Abounds]

Cesspool on the Potomac indeed

 

[alemmon]

This angers me, then again what about this GOP controlled government doesn't?

 

[Marvie_3]

People that even suggest shit like this should get their ass booted out of congress.

 

[airjoca]

Jesus, just split the country in two and bring the "good half" to Europe. We'll welcome you with open arms.

Sorry... I need to stay and protect the beautiful landscapes and animals I love. I know I am one man, but I will fight before they do any of this in my backyard! I go to Zion, Arches, Yellowstone and Yosemite as often as I can.

We cant let them get away with this and the countless other atrocities they are committing.

 

[DrROBschiz]

This should be a full bipartisan REJECTION

Fuck giving government handouts to the Oil Industry

#Draintheswamp

 

[phxxBullet]

Wow, not even 2 weeks ago a gaffer suspected the GOP wanting to drill in national parks. And I was like yeah sure, as if.

Woopsie, guess I was wrong.

 

[m_shortpants]

Holy fuck.

Do these people have no conscience? Is money that important?

 

[RedNalgene]

I'm calling my congressional reps today at 3:30. I suggest anyone who is commenting in this thread do the same. Here is the script I'm using - replace the italicized sections with the pieces relevant to your district:

Hello, my name is RedNalgene. I'm a constituent from Anytown, zipcode 12345. I don't need a response. I am opposed to House Resolution 46, which seeks to repeal updates to the National Park Services 9B rules, which will weaken park protections against drilling. I strongly encourage Representative Politician to oppose any type of repeal. Thank you for your hard work.

 

[Ziltoidia 9]

Oil companies going to make billions off of public lands.

 

[gutter_trash]

Republicons

 

[RedNalgene]

Update - I had a few minutes so I just called now. Spoke to a woman in my Reps office. I basically read the text listed above. She noted my opposition, asked me to spell my last name, and said she would pass along my message. It took all of 45 seconds.

This isn't hard.

Now that I think about it, I would imagine fracking around a super volcano would be a bad idea. Not sure if they could do that around Yellowstone, but if they do, it could be an issue.

 

[Swig_]

Going to need a modern day Monkeywrench Gang... :|

 

[ThatStupidLion]

Where's Captain PLanet when we need him?!

 

[hydragonwarrior]

I should probably go visit some of these national parks before they are ruined.

[jmdajr]

Like we even need it. We have so much oil the prices won't even rise.

Can we just use the pure centrifugal force of Reagan and Teddy's spinning corpses to power our electrical grids? They must be spinning at thousands of MPH at this point.

GOP acts like it's the turn of the damn 20th century. We are going to be the first nation to go from developed to developing.

I'm in NY, so both of our senators are democrats. Anyone else I should or would be able to call?

 

[rjinaz]

Yeah sure, they'll have National Parks named after them. The good ones though that need to be kept in tact, in mostly White areas. True heroes. both sides.

 

[Hale-XF11]

I've completely lost count of all the fuckery happening right now. It's overwhelming.

Teddy Roosevelt is rolling in his grave

Soon enough he will be if they find a lovely oil deposit in whichever graveyard he's buried in

Fucking idiots.

The US House of Representatives is voting on this resolution (House Joint Resolution 46), not the senate.

If you type in your address then both your senators and the House Representative/Congressperson representing your specific NY congressional district will show up.

This website might be more intuitive to use (just enter your zip code and both your senators and house representative will appear): http://www.whoismyrepresentative.com/

In your case, NY has 27 representatives representing 27 congressional districts so it should be one of these people:

This is fine you know guys, they'll leave the animal corpses then in millions of years the oil will be back again, right?

This is all just so fucking insane.

I live in a Democratic district so I'm not sure if there's much value in calling, but I'll do it anyway tomorrow since this is pretty disgusting.
