John --

The Grand Canyon has always been close to my heart. It is one of our country's greatest wonders, and every time I visit the Canyon, I am stunned by its vast beauty and deep heritage.

Grand Canyon National Park is not only one of our state's greatest natural treasures, it is also a major economic driver. The Canyon delivers about 6,000 jobs and $475 million to our local economy each year.

But more uranium mining around the Canyon could pose a real threat to our wonder of the world. This practice could contaminate our water supply, pollute our communities and destroy our local economy.

Earlier this session, I voted against a bill that could have opened up the area around the Canyon for more uranium mining by undermining the administration's 20-year ban.

It is absolutely critical we seek a long-term, permanent solution to protect the Grand Canyon.

Will you join me in calling on Congress to permanently protect the Canyon?

As a native Arizonan, the Grand Canyon holds a special place in my heart. But if we're going to protect it, I need you to step up.
