Please SHARE THIS VIDEO if you LOVE OUR NATIONAL PARKS!
This week is a time to share what we are THANKFUL for....One thing we are definitely thankful for is OUR National Parks. But Our National Parks are in a funding crisis. And beyond that, if Congress fails to agree on a budget, the whole government could shut down, including our beloved National Parks - just like 2013 and 1995. Funding for our Parks has been continually cut year after year and they are in desperate need of help... YOUR help. The Parks need people like you and me to "stick up for them" and make sure Congress provides the funding needed - not only to make repairs but also to protect the Parks in general so that they will be around for future generations!
Congress needs to hear from each of us that OUR PARKS MATTER before they decide on a budget for 2016. It only takes a few seconds - now is the time to tell Congress how YOU would like YOUR tax money spent! Let's make sure Congress protects one of America's greatest ideas - Our National Park System - so that all of our future generations will have the opportunities that we do now to enjoy wilderness and nature as God made it. Thank you friends!

Thank you for supporting our National Parks and ensuring National Park Funding for 2016 so that the National Parks can get the repairs and protection that they need. Thank you to the National Parks Conservation Association (NPCA), the National Park Service (NPS) for all that you do to ensure that beloved places like Yellowstone National Park, Grand Teton National Park, Glacier and the Smokies, and all the rest, will be here for our future generations.

[@ChristinaColoradoan]

I'll do what I need to do, but remember these parks actually belong to us as Americans. Personally, I don't need any upkeep - fewer people would be better!

[@BackroadsVanner]

+Christina Coloradoan Yes, agreed, they are all of our parks! That's the beauty of it all! It is hard not to have upkeep for that reason - everyone has the right to go and that entails infrastructure that is well managed BUT has the lightest footprint. So many people fought so hard to even have our National Parks and the whole system is still in its infancy - barely 100 years old. The parks still need advocates like you and me to keep them protected! Thanks so much for watching!! Have you seen the awesome video series by Ken Burns and Dayton Duncan called “The National Parks: America’s Best Idea.” - it is AWESOME!

[@ChristinaColoradoan]

+Backroads Vanner I have seen it, great show! I appreciate the conservation of these lands but don't appreciate the constrictions - most places I can't take my dogs. Although I purchase a parks pass every year, I rarely spend anytime in them. Too many rules and too crowded.

[@WizzRacing]

Maybe if the government didn't cost $2.7 trillion a year for their paychecks, pension funds, premium healthcare etc... We could afford to keep them open and protected!

[@williamgasior4613]

the national parks don't need our funding,,, we need to get our land back,,, we need to get rid of congress messing around with this,,,they can't even balance the budget,,, good day

[@BackroadsVanner]

+William Gasior We elect those members of Congress so if they are not doing what we want, we need to change that. But as John Muir, one of the most infamous supporters of our National Parks feared... as long as something was “dollarable,” man would try to conquer it. Someone has to protect it.
