The Western Values Project launched a campaign urging Secretary of
the Interior Ryan Zinke to keep his promise to follow the example of
President Teddy Roosevelt. Beginning today, and continuing throughout the week, a mobile billboard highlighting the website

Western Values Project.“Throughout his career as a politician, Ryan
Zinke has told anyone willing to listen that he’s cut from the same
cloth as the iconic conservation pioneer, and founder of the National
Parks Service, former President Roosevelt. His support for the Land and
Water Conservation fund and his opposition to the seizure and sale of
national public lands backs that up. But his record of clearing the way
for big oil and gas companies to drill on American public lands—along
with the $345,136 in campaign cash he’s taken from them–raises
questions.”...
