Hi, my name is _______
and I am a constituent in _________.
I urge you to oppose construction of any type of physical border barrier anywhere in the greater Big Bend region of Texas — including near Big Bend National Park, Big Bend Ranch State Park, Seminole Canyon State Park, and on private lands in Presidio, Brewster, Hudspeth and Terrell Counties.
A physical wall here would cause permanent damage to public lands, private property, wildlife corridors, archaeological sites, and the Rio Grande river system — while offering limited additional security benefits in this rugged terrain.
Help steward and conserve Big Bend by opposing border wall construction and supporting border security strategies that protect this national treasure.

Hi, my name is _______
and I am a constituent in _________.
I’m calling to urge [Representative/Senator name] to oppose any federal funding or authorization for border wall construction in the Big Bend region of Texas.
Big Bend National Park belongs to all Americans. It is one of the most remote and ecologically intact stretches of the U.S.–Mexico border, where harsh terrain already functions as a natural deterrent. A physical wall would permanently damage irreplaceable public lands, wildlife corridors, and archaeological sites — with minimal security benefit.
I’m asking them to stand against this project and support border security strategies that don’t destroy a national treasure. Thank you.
