We need to help support U.S. Senate Bill S500 (S.500) for proper funding in order to run our National Parks.  At this time the bill has not been put up for a vote, although 50 senators have co-signed the bill.  We need as many co-signers as possible so the bill will be put up for a vote in the senate. Mitch McConnell is holding many bills waiting to be voted on.  Our senator, Chris Murphy, has not yet co-sponsored the S.500 bill. Please consider calling Senator Murphy and ask him to co-sponsor this bill. His Washington phone number is 202-224-4041.
