1. The window of opportunity to comment is rapidy closing.

The deadline to comment on Bears Ears is already past. The deadline to comment on the other Monuments is July 10.

From the Federal comment site linked in the OP:

To ensure consideration, written comments relating to the Bears Ears National Monument must be submitted before May 26, 2017. Written comments relating to all other National Monuments must be submitted before July 10, 2017.

2. Trump's goal is to sell off as much of our national lands as possible.

While comments should be made, it's unlikely that they will have much impact on that goal. Getting rid of our Fake President would put an end to those plans. That should be the primary goal, I think.

Looking at that list, I see a number of places that should most definitely be preserved. However, I've only seen three or four of them in my lifetime. Most Americans don't even know they exist, and don't much care about them. That's the real problem. We depend on our Federal Government to preserve important properties as National Monuments, even if we'll never visit them. That takes forethought and a deep concern for preserving natural and historic place of importance.

Fake Donald Trump does not think anything is important unless it is exploited. That endangers many of our natural wonders. We need to reject the Fake POTUS if we hope to preserve those places.
