This is a major issue in the west. Rand Newberg has put out a lot of great material regarding this matter on his you tube channel. The american public is basically being robbed blind.

Grow,

Actually the push to transfer our federal public lands has been being pushed harder by the republicans. I'ma registered republican so don't take that as a jab from the other side of the isle. I think what really needs to happen is weather the Congressman/Senator is republican or a democrat, they need to be voted out. This way whoever comes in realizes that they should be working for the people and not big business. Term limits would also help so this way they actually do public service and not try to keep their donors happy. I highly encourage anyone on this forum to look at Randy's materials that were put out on public land transfer and also look at the Back Country Hunter and Anglers group. Even if you don't hunt out west it still can happen here when they realize what they can get away with. Also, these lands are in a trust for the american people. I don't ever remember getting a check when these lands were transferred and then sold off.

I get it BK and like you said, it's both sides of the isles...though I have to say the Republican party is smelling like a sewer trap and shame on them...I am just disgusted with the entire political machine and royally ticked off at American's spinelessness in general.

I wouldn't call it spinelessness I would say a large majority of American's have simply given up on politics as a whole and therefore don't bother to vote anymore. Its the whole "my vote doesn't mean a thing"

The Republican Party is on the wrong side of t his issue. Comes from being in the pocket of corporations which are funding this push. Look one further then ALEC...

Hillary Clinton sold 20% of US uranium mining rights to Russia. In many cases she sold not only the mining rights, but the actual government land. It wasn't hers to sell.

If the federal government over the last 30+ years was actually doing any real good for the American citizens we wouldn't even be having these discussions.
