“Let’s make sure we get this straight. I would pay my grazing fees to the proper government and I did try to pay my grazing fees to the proper government. I do not have a contract with the United States because I will not sign that contract with the United States,” Bundy explained. “I have no contract. I did not graze my cattle on the United States property. And I would pay my grazing fees to the proper government.”This one sentence tells it all: he's a "freeman on the land" sovereign citizen type. He does not recognize the Constitution of the United States. He doesn't recognize the federal government. He thinks he has to have a "contract" before paying for grazing fees on federal land, which is patent nonsense.
You are correct about much of what he has said, but if fact, the BLM requires that he sign an agreement before he can pay is grazing fee. That is why he has not paid, the BLM will not let him pay. He refuses to agree to the terms and conditions which were changed drastically and would have the effect of putting him out of business. He probably has legal recourse to their heavy handed methods, but not with the arguments that he has been making.
