Special interest groups from Portland Bend are lobbying the president to create a national monument in Eastern Oregon's Malheur County. But what they're not considering is how a monument would devastate local families. "When you take away the ranches, these communities just will not exist," said Erika Bentz, a sixth-generation rancher. "You can't pack up a ranch and move. You can't pack up your family and the connections and the history and just take it somewhere else."

Special interest groups are lobbying the president to declare 2.5 million acres in Malheur County as a national monument. But every acre is already protected by at least one of the eight layers of existing protections. As a recreationalist Steve Boren says: "There are all kinds of checks and balances built into the current system. You've got a huge area here that functions really well. It's beautiful. It's accessible."

Malheur County families have cared for the Owyhee Canyonlands for generations. "We've respected it and that's why it's so good," said Mark Mackenzie. A national monument would it difficult, and maybe impossible, to access the land. If the monument goes through, who will take care of this land?

Special interest groups are proposing a 2.5 million acre national monument in Oregon's Malheur County. With the stroke of a pen, the president can declare a national monument without local input. The Owyhee Basin Stewardship Coalition believes that Malheur County families deserve a voice in the process. Oregonians agree. In a recent poll, 73 percent of Oregonians said Congress should approve new monuments. A majority of Democrats, Independents and Republicans also agreed. Learn more at OurLandOurVoice.com.

National preservation groups and KEEN Footwear are bankrolling a campaign to create a massive new federal monument area in Eastern Oregon. It could happen any day. All that is required is the signature of a President. Local input and Congressional approval can be ignored. Multiple layers of environmental protections are already in place to protect the land and a recent advisory vote shows an overwhelming majority of residents are against a monument designation. The future of families, communities and public lands are at stake. Visit OurLandOurVoice.com and tell Governor Brown and Senators Wyden and Merkley to say no to an Owyhee Canyonlands monument.

We all agree that public lands belong to everyone. It's why Oregonians are coming together to say no to the Owyhee Canyonlands monument in Eastern Oregon without a vote of Congress. It's too big, and it's not needed, with many layers of environmental protections already in place. Oregon Democrats, Republicans and Independents agree.
