Dear Senator / Representative —
Please support the "No Palaces Act," which prevents future presidents from recklessly destroying historic sites. Introduced by Sen. Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut, this legislation would require National Capital Planning Commission review "before initiating any demolition activities." The bill, if passed, would also require congressional approval for privately-funded White House construction projects.
Although a veto-proof vote would be optimal, at a minimum I believe this bill needs to come before both chambers for a roll call vote before next fall. Voters do not approve of the unilateral decision to bulldoze part of the White House, and a vote on this bill could be a good reminder of that before the election.
I am appalled that we need a bill like this, but we do, so please support it.
