How You Seized The Moment And Helped Save Our Greatest Natural Treasures
America’s National Parks were in trouble – there’s no other way to put it - and there was no time left to be in denial.

After decades of record crowds and inadequate budgets, our National Parks started the 21st Century with a $5 billion budget deficit. From the redwood forests to the gulf stream waters, the basic infrastructure was falling apart after 30 years of deferring repairs, maintenance and preservation work - - and there was no plan to fix it.

If we didn’t act we would become the first generation to pass the parks on to the next generation in worse shape than we inherited them. But we didn’t want to be remembered for that legacy.

The One For The Parks Solution
Fortunately America had never been in a better financial position to do the right thing and restore the parks to the condition our great public treasures deserve.

The money to fix the parks was already in the bank waiting to go to work in the form of the federal surplus and while Washington argued over what to do with the other 99% of it, we proposed ONE FOR THE PARKS. Knowing our National Parks were worth 1%.

Just 1% of the surplus would fund all the necessary work needed to rescue our National Parks and bring them back to a condition we can be proud of and enjoy for the century to come.
