Warning: White House Memo Portrays Plannned Land Grab
Senator Jim Demint (R-SC), Chairman of the U.S. Senate Steering Committee, revealed in a The Washington Times editorial that a "A secret administration memo has surfaced revealing plans for the federal government to seize more than 10 million acres from Montana to New Mexico, halting job - creating activities like ranching, forestry, mining and energy development. Worse, this land grab would dry up tax revenue that's essential for funding schools, firehouses and community centers."
The 21-page document, marked "Internal Draft-NOT FOR RELEASE," names 14 different lands Mr. Obama could completely close for development by unilaterally designating them as "monuments" under the 1906 Antiquities Act. The memo was made public by Rep. Robert Bishop (R-UT) who expressed that "he didn't want another unilateral land grab by the White House, like what happened under former Presidents Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter."
Senator Demint related,
"President Obama could enact the plans in this memo with just the stroke of a pen, without any input from the communities affected by it. At a time when our national unemployment rate is 9.7 percent, it is unbelievable anyone would be looking to stop job-creating energy enterprises, yet that's exactly what's happening.Related Article: Utah protests federal land control
The document lists 14 properties that, according to the document, "might be good candidates" for Mr. Obama to nab through presidential proclamation. Apparently, Washington bureaucrats believe it's more important to preserve grass and rocks for birdwatchers and backpackers than to keep these local economies thriving.
Administration officials claim the document is merely the product of a brainstorming session, but anyone who reads this memo can see that it is a wish list for the environmentalist left. It discusses, in detail, what kinds of animal populations would benefit from limiting human activity in those areas.
It says all kinds of animals would be better off by doing so, like the coyotes, badgers, grouse, chickens and lizards. But giving the chickens more room to roost is no reason for the government to override states' rights."

If the libs had their way, they'd turn the West and the Plains into some kind of national zoo.
Do you know the stats of Fed owned land? Pretty shocking if this is the correct word.
When the dollar collapses, they will need something to back the value of the new currency. It'll be land.
And what's under the land they are taking...coal, shale oil and natural gas!! BTW, would some of the members of Congress that are not minions of Barack please read the 10th Amendment to the Constitution and advise the President that he will be stopped.
Wanda~Our Congress? You mean the ass fucks up on the great big Hill? They openly admit to never using the US Constitution as a means of debating and concluding.....so we can tell them to read and do all sorts of things....but in the end only the big banks(Oligarchy) have the say.
Our troops are not dying for their country....but keep that quiet....folks get real pissed when this comes up.
Yeah Angie...my bad!! ;-/
...and God begins to cry.
Statism kills freesom, liberty AND the pursuit of happiness!
