Elect Teddy No one presidential candidate has yet made national parks a national priority. So the National Parks Conservation Association has found a candidate who can! He may be just a humble bear, but Teddy Mather is making his campaign about our national parks, and the plants, the animals, and the historic buildings in them. Our national parks protect some of America’s most significant landmarks and landscapes. They tell our nation’s stories. Yet they suffer from a lack of funding and critical protection.
Our National Park System, called the best idea America ever had, will celebrate its centennial in 2016, another presidential election year. If a president is going to restore America’s National Park System in time for the centennial, we need to begin the work now.
Teddy is the bear for the job. Help elect Teddy Mather, and help protect our national heritage. |
