Why I'm Heart Sick Tonight. -- NY Times Has Sights On Bears Ears

This was part of a New York Times Article published this weekend 8/27/16.  Red dots show National Monuments or Parks already designated by President Obama.  Blue ones show those that Douglas Brinkley recommends he designate next. Bear Ears is one of them.  If you can figure out how to go in to the NYT and comment.  Please do so.  http://www.nytimes.com/2016/08/28/opinion/sunday/obama-the-monument-maker.html?smprod=nytcore-ipad&smid=nytcore-ipad-share
 One of the sites recommended for "designation" by the NY Times was Fire House Ruin

3. Bears Ears, Utah  This remote, 1.9 million-acre area is sacred to the region’s native tribes. With an estimated 100,000 archaeological sites, it is one of the nation’s most significant cultural and historical landscapes. But looting and desecration are taking their toll.
