"We have been entrusted to serve as the stewards of America the Beautiful: purple mountains; fruited plains; and the landmarks of our history and the icons of our heritage." "The Department of the Interior’s mandate now reaches across 12 times zones. It includes responsibility for places as grand as Yosemite, structures as mighty as the Hoover Dam, and creatures as small as the tiniest songbird." "I want them to see that we restored our national treasures and icons - from the Statue of Liberty in New York to the Great Sand Dunes National Park in Colorado." - United States Secretary of Interior, Ken Salazar We are asking that you write to the new Secretary of Interior to request that he review and rescind the tragic and unjust approval of the former Secretary of the Interior to convert the dunes and other globally rare natural resources of Jean Klock Park's public land.
