Thanks SO MUCH...the link in your post # 29 was EXACTLY what I was looking for...an IN-DEPTH history and analysis of exactly what the malicious, grasping, power-hungry feds are doing to these Oregon land owners. It's frightening, it's despicable, it's anti-Constitutional and it's against every conservative principle in the book.

It's very detailed, so I scanned it and bookmarked it for further perusal tonight.

It's an article that really reveals what the enemedia is LEAVING out in their reportage of the protest!

Good work in unearthing this article. Every freeper should read it.

Munite_gal, here's a CBS link that includes the interview...it is about the last minute of the interview:

Ammmon Bundy's interview with CBS THis Morning

In that interview, Ammon Bundy had the following to say:

"The wildlife refuge has been a tool that government has used for many years to take the land and resources away from the people. The people of this county are being abused and they're being prosecuted because they're not willing to sell to the federal government, and it's just one of those things that just cannot continue."

When asked if he was the militia, he saod,

"We are not militia, we are concerned American citizens that are willing to stand for their rights."

When asked if he would use his weapons, he said,

"We need to defend ourselves. There's an imminent threat towards us and it is our right to do that. We are serious about being here and we are serious about defending our rights, about getting some things straightened out but we have no intention of using any type of force, intimidation."

When asked about the ongoing negotiations,

"They tried for actually over a year to try to get some justice in the situation and there was none offered. In fact they ignored and so now the people are checking and balancing their government as... we have the right to do."
