Minnesotans Voted YES on the Clean Water, Land, and Legacy Amendment!
Thank you for helping to protect the Minnesota we all love, by voting yes to pass the Clean Water, Land and Legacy Amendment on Election Day 2008.
Our Minnesota can't wait. We're losing more of the state we love every day. Safeguarding the Minnesota you love for future generations will require a substantial investment over the next 25 years. The good news is, we CAN do this.
This amendment is about future generations, and increasing our investment in the future of Minnesota. Minnesotans understand that core values are well worth protecting in our Constitution, especially when future generations rely on our actions today. Acting now to ensure that we properly protect our water, parks, wildlife, and arts and cultural resources for our children and grandchildren is an investment well worth making.

Minnesota is a special place. Our lakes, rivers and streams; forests and wilderness areas; clean air and natural areas are a part of our way of life and who we are. We have a duty to be good stewards of our Great Outdoors: to protect it and restore it so we can pass it on to our children and grandchildren.
To pass Minnesota to future generations in as good or even better shape than we found it, MEP has selected four priority issues for the 2008 legislative session:
• Great Outdoors and Heritage Amendment
• Clean Energy Minnesota
• Transportation Choices 2020
• Outdoor Traditions Investment
As Minnesotans, it’s our responsibility to put our values into action and protect our Great Outdoors for all Minnesotans to enjoy today and tomorrow.
Minnesota’s Great Outdoors: Enjoy it. Protect it. Pass it on!
