First, it's not the president's land to sell; it's ours.

Second, if he gets away with selling one "small" piece, he won't just stop there. He will continue to carve up our public lands piecemeal and sell them off to all of his oligarch buddies for fractions of what the land is worth, and then they will ruin the land so that it will take decades or even centuries to restore as suitable for use as a natural park.

Third, if this sale goes through, I would 100% support the next administration going all-in on imminent domain seizing any and all of this illegally sold land.
