VICTORY!!!!!!
Fantastic news for those following the largest environmental/conservation/common sense issue of the year. Thanks to all those who made their voices heard on this incredibly important topic.

"WASHINGTON - House Republicans have dropped a provision in budget legislation that would have allowed the sale of public lands for mining.

Western senators had criticized the provision, which would have overturned an 11-year-old congressional ban that prevents mineral companies from "patenting," or buying, public land at cheap prices if the land contains mineral deposits."
