We the people, ask the Obama Administration to ban corporate sponsorship of our U.S. National parks!

Created by J.S. on May 13, 2016

As they approach their 100th anniversary, the National Parks Service, is more strapped for cash than ever. According to Fortune, the NPS needs $12 billion for repairs. Some $2.85 billion of that will come from the United States government, leaving quite a large gap to be made up from private donations—which last year totaled just $80 million.

The answer, according to Jeff Reinbold, the Park Service’s associate director for partnerships and civic engagement, is to allow for "limited corporate sponsorship". So, does that mean you could soon hike through Budweiser National Park and come across a pile of empty America cans?

We do not need corporate advertising in our national parks!
