How and WHY should lands be “returned” to the states that they NEVER had in the first place? This ‘return to the states’ is based on the false idea that these lands originally belonged to the states. They never did. And to give them to the states, no way! And if you read about Trump and his and family comments during the elections, it won’t happen. He will protect these federal PUBLIC lands just as do other presidents. Heck, in the news this week we even see mention that he might be more in the mode of Teddy Roosevelt than others on this very topic. Good and really great for us! Go Trump!

It is TIME to DownSize DC!

Close entire Rogue/Un-Constitutional departments including their SWAT Teams.

Clearly 1/2 of what is done in DC would never be missed by anyone outside DC if it vanished tomorrow.

You may have a little half right with that statement but there is a lot of history behind the “why”.

Article 1 section 8 of the Constitution tells us what the Government can have, and it isn’t fifty percent or more of the twelve Western States that did NOT receive their public lands at Statehood as did every state east of the Rockies. You need to pay attention to history and do a little more in depth search for why thinks are today in contrast to what they should be if Washington Dee Cee was on board with the Founders.

I would suggest doing some reading here: http://www.americanlandscouncil.org/
