Please call and urge your senators and representatives to support Senate Bill 440, the Oregon Recreation Enhancement Act, and Senate Bill 162, the Smith River National Recreation Area Expansion Act.

Together, these bills will protect vital salmon strongholds and drinking water supplies from strip mining in the Klamath Mountains.

The Congressional switchboard phone number is 202-224-3121. It can connect you to your senators’ and representatives’ offices.
