We Won! Defeated Chaffetz' bills - H.R. 621 & 622
Victory! The creator of this petition declared the campaign a success. You can still sign the petition to show support.
Block H.R. 622 - “The long overdue disposal of excess federal lands will free up resources for the federal government while providing much-needed opportunities for economic development in struggling rural communities.”
..."The resulting cost savings will reduce the BLM budget by five percent and the Forest Service by seven percent." Under the guise of turning enforcement over to local sheriff's departments, this is a ruse to gut federal lands' budgets for removes the law enforcement function from the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and U.S. Forest Service.
Why is this important?
We just won! http://usuncut.com/resistance/hunters-fishermen-public-land/
I am a member of and volunteer for Sierra Club, and I am fighting to keep our federal lands free of all ways to gut them and their budgets as a way for US OIL-igarchy and corps takeover to the detriment of the people.
AND H.R.621 - To direct the Secretary of the Interior to sell certain Federal lands in Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah, and Wyoming, previously identified as suitable for disposal, and for other purposes.
