Administration Planning To Seize 10,000,000 Acres Of Western Lands
A secret administration memo has surfaced revealing plans for the federal government to seize more than 10 million acres from Montana to New Mexico.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. The document lists 14 properties that, according to the document, "might be good candidates" for Mr. Obama to nab through presidential proclamation. 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. 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. It says all kinds of animals would be better off by doing so, like the coyotes, badgers, grouse, chickens and lizards. Rep. Robert Bishop, Utah Republican, made the memo public because he didn't want another unilateral land grab by the White House, like what happened under former Presidents Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter.
