Don Young is not representing his constituent’s views.
As an
Alaskan that has lived here for ____ years, I oppose H.R. 4677.
* H.R. 4677 will undo the Park Service
regulation closing Denali Wilderness to snowmobiles,
which underwent an intensive public process and had OVERWHELMING

* Of over 6000 comments submitted, 96%
of all respondents - and 91%
