EPISODE #246: PROTECT OUR WESTERN LANDS!

“God bless America. Let’s save some of it.” — Edward Abbey

One of the senators Utah sent to Washington has slipped a very evil scheme into the big federal budgeting bill, language that’s vague enough to allow the beginning of the sell-off of our Western Public Lands. Including National Forests. Not including national parks, monuments, etc., but very much including Bureau of Land Management and Forest Service lands.

In fact, that’s what this senator, “Based Mike Lee,” titled this section of the Senate legislation: MANDATORY DISPOSAL OF BUREAU OF LAND MANAGEMENT LAND AND NATIONAL FOREST SYSTEM LAND. No.
