I'll tell you why. We visited the canyons on family vacation at the start of October. A woman at Hell's Backbone Grill in Boulder, Utah, told me about a couple who love the land as much as we did. But didn't realize their voting hurt the land they loved They didn't know their candidate's record on public lands. In July, Grand Staircase - Escalante lost about 90% of its protection. One election choice. And some of the land they loved was no longer available. They just didn't have the full picture. We need these lands federally protected. Early voting in Georgia runs through October 30. Election Day is November 3. The climate is on every ballot. Please take ten minutes today. Look up your candidates. Then vote.
