Take Action I support private property rights and local land use control The Senate is poised to consider the H.R. 1491, the Chumash bill. This bill codifies the Chumash’s Camp 4 trust acquisition in a blatant attempt to circumvent local land use planning and ultimately fulfill the Tribe’s long-sought desire to massively develop this 1,400-acre parcel of farmland and open space. We need to take action NOW to stop this bad bill. Take a moment to complete the information below and automatically send an email to key Senators. It is important that we act SOON.

Senator Mitch McConnell Senator Jon Cornyn Senator Dean Heller Senator Jeff Flake All recipients will receive an email from you unless you explicitly uncheck the box.Your Message - Feel free to add your personal comments I write urgently to request that you take the immediate and necessary actions to ensure that H.R. 1491, the Chumash legislation, does not proceed without addressing the significant consequences to the rights of private property owners not only in California but across the country. This bill must not proceed in its current form. H.R. 1491 codifies an abuse of the off-reservation fee-to-trust program. It is such an abuse that it paints the entire program in a bad light and could therefore compromise the program for future legitimate tribal needs. H.R. 1491 is a blatant circumvention of local land use planning to ultimately fulfill the Chumash Tribe’s long-sought desire to massively develop a 1,400-acre parcel of farmland and open space. The text above will be followed by this language: For further background, former California Governor and former US Senator Pete Wilson wrote a column that recently appeared in the LA Times. I know that you support private property rights and local land use control. Please stop H.R. 1491 in its current form.
