The Colorado Outdoor Recreation and Economy (CORE) Act is getting a vote this week! The San Juan Mountains Wilderness Act is now part of the CORE Act. Despite widespread support throughout his district, Representative Scott Tipton still hasn’t supported it. Can you take two minutes to ask him to support this critical and widely popular lands protection bill?

Here’s the number of Representative Tipton’s office:

(202) 225-4761
