Rep. Sharice Davids Can't Save Kansas Prairie Chicken From GOP?!?

OR . . .

Overturning protections for the lesser prairie chicken "would undermine America’s proud wildlife conservation traditions, risk the extinction of a once-abundant American bird and create uncertainty for landowners and industries who have been working for years to forge the durable, locally led conservation strategies that this rule supports,” the White House said in a statement.
