States Go On Attack Against FEDS! Seek To Take Mismanaged Land Back!
Western states have gone on the offensive against the Federal government as 50 political leaders from 9 western states are meeting to take back their land from the federal government with accusations that the FEDS continue to mismanage the land that states will be much better prepared to handle. We learn here that this meeting was planned prior to the Bundy Ranch standoff which they term only a symptom of the overall problem. The first video below is a must-see interview with a BLM whistleblower who exposes the military industrial complex's role in the FEDS actions against Bundy Ranch.
It’s time for Western states to take control of federal lands within their borders, lawmakers and county commissioners from Western states said at Utah’s Capitol on Friday.
More than 50 political leaders from nine states convened for the first time to talk about their joint goal: wresting control of oil-, timber -and mineral-rich lands away from the feds.
"It’s simply time," said Rep. Ken Ivory, R-West Jordan, who organized the Legislative Summit on the Transfer for Public Lands along with Montana state Sen. Jennifer Fielder. "The urgency is now."
Utah House Speaker Becky Lockhart, R-Provo, was flanked by a dozen participants, including her counterparts from Idaho and Montana, during a press conference after the daylong closed-door summit. U.S. Sen. Mike Lee addressed the group over lunch, Ivory said. New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada, Wyoming, Oregon and Washington also were represented.
The summit was in the works before this month’s tense standoff between Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy and the Bureau of Land Management over cattle grazing, Lockhart said.
