Do you love our National Parks?
Olympic National Park is just one of many splendid - and precious - parks in our National Park System. Unfortunately, "sequestration" is hurting - not the mid- and upper-level managers, but the 'boots on the ground' - the Rangers and seasonal employees [many of them] that the under-staffed Rangers depend on to keep these places protected and serviceable for the public's enjoyment. These are the ones who will be asked to take longer furloughs, or their positions will not be funded at all.
