We the undersigned persons demand that the Cliven Bundy Trespass cattle be removed from BLM lands immediately and that all resources necessary be used to affect the removal and enforcement of lawful court orders. We further demand that those who disobeyed or threatened federal law enforcement officers be rigorously investigated and held accountable for their actions.
Why is this important?
The people of the United States cannot allow their public lands to be destroyed by private individuals or businesses in violation of the rules and policies that protect and preserve such lands for ALL of the people. Cliven Bundy's private cattle ranching operation has been trespassing on BLM managed public lands for over twenty years, causing significant damage to sensitive lands and species. If the government officials managing these lands allow Bundy to continue breaking the law and refusing to follow numerous court orders they have lost all legitimacy and need to resign. Continued destruction of public lands through the use of lawless Militias is unacceptable.
