   I believe the LWCF should continue because of the importance of it. Protection of land and water has should always be a first priority. Think of Teddy Roosevelt who kickstarted the national parks; we should continue helping the environment as he started it.

   In this day and age when our children are growing up immersed in technology and staying plugged in 24/7 (and encouraged to do so through college), we are in greater need than ever to protect our natural resources to allow a chance to reconnect with the real world around us.  This is our last outlet of decompression and connection.  Through scouting we help our children learn to help preserve the last of an important resource that is dwindling at an incredible rate. 
   Through the increased prices on oil and gas the general public is actually funding this important conservation.  As large corporations continue to plunder our natural resources a portion of these proceeds must continue to support what their accidents destroy.  I urge you to reauthorize the Land and Water Conservation fund.

   Consider, would you, waking to a world with no birds, no crickets, nothing but machines.  Feel that ache in your soul?  Do the right thing. Fund wild places.

   Please reauthorize the Land and Water Conservation Fund.  America's national parks are one of the most integral part of what makes it so great.

   Without the beauty and solace found while walking the Appalachian Trail, we would have far many more people suffering from depression, obesity and other mental illness. All issues the 2016 Campaign is trying to address. The trail is an answer and cure for many ailments. Protect the Appalachian Trail!

   Please reconsider and pass legislation to fund the LWCF.  If we, as citizens, don't protect our natural resources for our children and their children, like the very special AT, who will?

    Now, more than ever, we need to conserve our peoples habitat. Voters want conservation. The future depends on it.

    The planet, people's habitat,  depends on conservation. The voters want to preserve nature and our future depends on it.

    Please reconsider your voting stance on the LWCF. The national parks and trails were meant to be around for future generations to enjoy. They are an important part of history and identity as a nation. My vote will support those who understand that stewardship is part of our responsibility as responsible citizens.

    What are they thinking?! The land, wildlife, parks, the wild period! is the most important national treasure that we have. Why would Congress not partake in trying to save as much of nature as they can? LWCF has to be reauthorized and mother nature needs to be protected for enjoyment by future generations, once they put their game consoles away and realize what is out there for them to cherish and discover.

    i am a service provider to oil field related work in The northern part of the Gulf of Mexico. I am also intrigued by the challenges and rewards nature has to offer. I have not seen the details of the LWCF, but believe if it is financially possible, saving out natural resources in parks are worth it.

    Nature has been a huge part of who we are and who I am, and without help to maintain this land and it's resources, life will not be sustainable.

    Funding for National Treasures is beneficial for everyone.

    Preserving our national treasures is a must.  The AT is an epic natural adventure that is needed to help humanity have an means to connect with nature.

    As we move into the future as a nation, we need to look at what we have done right and what we have done wrong within our past. One thing I know we have done correctly is to protect our natural resources and conserve a wilderness that is appreciated by many in our country. This wilderness  is a part of what makes this land so great. By taking away the Land and  Water Conservation Fund, we are putting beautiful and pristine places at risk. As someone who frequents and loves the outdoors of her nation, I implore you to bring this funding back. Not only for me, but for the future generations to enjoy.

    The Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF), signed into law in 1964 must be reauthorized!
