“Miller went further, calling on Texas Governor Rick Perry to mobilize the Texas State Guard, if necessary, in order to prevent the Federal Bureau of Land Management (BLM) from seizing 90,000 acres of land along a 116 mile stretch of the Red River”

This is what Brian Sandoval should already have done. Another RINO hiding under his desk.

The last time we drove along the Red River, Texas side, we saw lots and LOTS of windmills. Is that the land they are talking about?

Question to all: I never considered that that was state or federal land along the Red River. Does Texas have federal land like the western states contain?

Because Texas was a nation annexed by the US, Texas was allowed to retain all her lands, so this is much different from other states where the US Govt owned the land and states(like Nevada) were created on federal lands, in this case lands ceded by Mexico.

Lands owned by the feds in Texas were acquired in modern times

Conflicts between Texas and Oklahoma over their Red River boundrey have existed for a long time, either from a shifting south bank or a course change.
