Take Action:Tell Congress to Support America's Domestic Mining Industry








SUPPORT U.S. MINERAL INDEPENDENCE

Sen. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska has authored legislation aimed at revitalizing our nations' domestic production of critical minerals:



"Minerals are the building blocks of our economy. From rare earth elements to molybdenum, we rely on minerals for everything from the smallest computer chips to the tallest skyscrapers. This draft bill provides clear, programmatic direction to keep us competitive with foreign nations and promote a stable supply of critical minerals." - Sen. Murkowski

The U.S. is home to an abundance of untapped rare-earths and other critical minerals capable of meeting our nation's vast manufacturing and national security needs, so why are we so dependent on foreign resources from countries like China & Russia for these minerals?



We think it's time for America to start creating mining jobs instead of destroying them and produce these minerals right here at home!



"With so much attention paid to our reliance on foreign oil, it's easy to lose sight of the fact that other minerals are also critical to our economy. This legislation would modernize our mineral policies to bolster domestic production, protect the environment, expand manufacturing and promote recycling. Every one of these areas offers significant opportunities for job creation." - Sen. Murkowski



Now is the time for the U.S. to reduce our dependence on other countries and start investing in our own resources.
