Remember: In order to "pay the grazing fees", Bundy had to sign his rights away.
This is what the "grazing fees" Big Lie is all about:
Why Clive Bundy isn’t WRONG regarding grazing fees

There have been a lot of people criticizing Clive Bundy because he did not pay his grazing fees for 20 years. The public is also probably wondering why so many other cowboys are supporting Mr. Bundy even though they paid their fees and Clive did not. What you people probably do not realize is that on every rancher’s grazing permit it says the following: “You are authorized to make grazing use of the lands, under the jurisdiction of the Bureau of Land Management and covered by this grazing permit, upon your acceptance of the terms and conditions of this grazing permit and payment of grazing fees when due.” The “mandatory” terms and conditions go on to list the allotment, the number and kind of livestock to be grazed, when the permit begins and ends, the number of active or suspended AUMs (animal units per month), etc. The terms and conditions also list specific requirements such as where salt or mineral supplements can be located, maximum allowable use of forage levels (40% of annual growth), etc., and include a lot more stringent policies that must be adhered to. Every rancher must sign this “contract” agreeing to abide by the TERMS AND CONDITIONS before he or she can make payment.
Once upon a time, I had a government weasel bureaucrat present me with a form that "I had to sign and submit" to stop them from stealing money from me.
I read the form very carefully, and concluded that it was NOT in my best interest to sign.
I then did my OWN research into the issue, and actually got them to return some of the stolen money.
The government is liars, and domestic terrorists.
Ummm... cross post.
