Someone needs to speak to what happens when these so call people of the land do their thing.
The forests have been clear cut, mining has scarred the land and ranchers have over grazed. Agra business has polluted our farm land, fracking is poisoning our groundwater, the lakes, rivers and oceans have been over fished. These are all reasons the government is needed to make sensible polices and make extractionists answerable to the we the people. Federal land is our land and someone needs to take care of it. Anyone using public land should pay us a fair price and follow the guild lines.
The BLM was set up to set these guild lines not to have gun battles with renters and farmers. We need more wildlife refuges not less, more national parks not less. Time to speak-up.
Please will anyone in the media speak some truth and shut these people up, the people need to know. Government can not work if armed thugs threaten people and law enforcement.
This could turn a lot of people away from the republics and back to the Democrats. SHOUT IT OUT LOUD for all to here.
