Federal lands eh. The same federal lands that the govt wants to keep taxpayers off of? And the idiocy continues unabated. Don't know about the rest of you but the reduction in gas prices has helped us economically. Despite the admins touting the robust economy, I'm pretty sure there's a lot of common everyday folks that would take exception to those proclamations. As to the lyin' king and his idea to add $10/barrel tax, I say BS. I think I heard that would be an additional 25 cents per gallon at our end. Uh, no thanks. So, whether you think it will do any good or not, let you congress critters know you DO NOT support another tax. Once it's in place, you know it will never go away. And if you don't know anything about "350 Action", check them out.

All public land, other than military and test bases should be either turned over to the states or opened up to homesteading to legal residents who have lived in the USA no less than ten years.

Get the central socialist government out of the land business!

Return all lands to the states in which they’re located.

The Opecker Princes probably dropped off another Million $s in the Clintoon Slush funds for that statement. They will drop off more if she gets elected.

Where in the Constitution does it say the federal government can own a third of the property in western states? This should never have been allowed. Since the National Parks are accessible to the people, they can remain, but all other “federal lands” should be sold to the highest bidder. That would pay off a fraction of our massive, suffocating national debt wracked up by that federal government.

Won’t this hurt the “poor?”

Oh wait, they will get a $15.00 hr minimum wage so they should be able to pay for it.

http://instituteforenergyresearch.org/analysis/environmentalists-allow-oil-drilling-on-their-land-but-oppose-it-in-anwr/

“However, despite opposing oil drilling in ANWR, one of these environmental groups allowed oil drilling on lands that it owns, reaping sizeable revenues from its production. The National Audubon Society, who opposes oil drilling in ANWR, has allowed oil and gas drilling on its 26,000 acre Paul J. Rainy Sanctuary in Louisiana for nearly 50 years. Beginning in the 1940s, oil companies drilled 37 wells in the sanctuary, which protects important habitat for migratory birds and other wildlife.[ii]

The National Audubon Society received royalties of over $25 million, which it used to buy additional land. The drilling in the Paul J. Rainy Sanctuary was performed in an environmentally safe manner, but that could also be accomplished in ANWR, if only the federal government would allow drilling there.

The states need to take their land back. For example, 90% of Nevada is under federal control. That’s why ranchers are being gunned down.

Right. That way she can sell the rights to it to a foreign government in exchange for generous donations to The Clinton Foundation.

This fracking stuff is costing the Saudi's a bomb. Oil prices are so low because a. the Saudi's need the money as badly as we used to need them it has turned out and b. they are trying to drive the frackers out of the market because of a.

Cutting off supply helps our best friends in the whole world - the Saudis.

If the commie b*tch is going to play this game, we need to get all “wind farms” and “solar farms” off of “public” land too. These hippy ideas are causing the death of too much wildlife and are horrible “eyesores”. They destroy the beauty of America.
