Improving Minerals Policy

You Make Policy

You can help revitalize America's minerals supply chain.

  1. Please urge your senators to co-sponsor Sen. Murkowski's "Critical Minerals Policy Act" (S. 1113) and ask your congressman or congresswoman to co-sponsor Rep. Doug Lamborn's "National Strategic and Critical Minerals Policy Act of 2011" (H.R. 2011).      
  2. Tell Congress to help create jobs and protect our economy by opposing the $1.8 billion “Dirt Tax.”
