Why should tax payers pay so hunters have a place to hunt? Or tourists have a place to visit?
Why should they rob my state cause they screwed their own up?
He cant promise that.
And people are hip to these types of goofy promises being just that.
Like how is he going to do that anyway?
Another stupid idea by a lawyer who thinks he is an executive.
Federalism...can’t get more constitutionally conservative then that.
Clear choice America: conservative Cruz or Code Pink, 9/11 Truther, Birther, Obamacare and Hillary loving American POW hating RINO Trump.
Ted....If it happens, it’s going to be because the people of Nevada file against the Feds.
Cruz is great at promising things. However, when it comes to actually delivering something he is a complete failure.
I like his position on this.
He’d be my Number 1 if I felt like he was more believable.
As it is, he’s a close second.
Federal Land Ownership: Overview and Data
Summary The federal government owns roughly 640 million acres, about 28% of the 2.27 billion acres of
land in the United States. Four agencies administer 608.9 million acres of this land: the Bureau of
Land Management (BLM), Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS), and National Park Service (NPS) in the Department
of the Interior (DOI), and the Forest Service (FS) in the Department of Agriculture. Most of these
lands are in the West and Alaska. In addition, the Department of Defense administers 14.4 million
acres in the United States consisting of military bases, training ranges, and more. Numerous other
agencies administer the remaining federal acreage.
Why do people with Ivy League degrees say such dumb things?
Boohoo....apparently Licata, of Field and Stream is unaware of the severe restrictions imposed on federal land use by the dictatorial EPA and Dept. of the Interior. Such land does not belong to the citizens of the US but to the beaureaucrats who control it.
Where in the Constitution does it state that the federal governed in Washington DC can own and restrict access to 85% of a sovereign state?
A lot better than anyone else is proposing, but it would still be in the hands of a government. Still, better a level of government closer to the people.
If the price for getting their land back is to vote for Ted, I bet the NV people will say, “Let them keep the land then.”
Rock on, Ted!
The federal government has NO right to own these lands. The feds may BUY land for “needful” buildings, with state permission, but their wholesale taking of most of the land in the West is just plain wrong.
Look into some of the incredible abuses that prompted the armed standoff in Oregon. The feds have been playing very dirty with “our” land.
Yet another parallel with a fledgling senator from the same Uniparty—like Obama, using the senate as a stepping stone.
Elected in 2013, Cruz really hasn’t done much but campaign and grandstand, again, like Obama filibustering conservative judges, making a name for himself, duping the desperate, and now this extravagant promise from Rafael “Mr. Smith Goes to Washington” Cruz.
I don’t know, but strongly suspect one of Trump’s favorite sayings may be, “Money talks, BS walks.”
I’m going with someone who can actually deliver on his proposals: Donald Trump.
We’ve suffered for seven years with a `wunderkind’ who promised to lower the Earth’s ocean levels and temperature, and other fantastic bullshit, when in fact his real goal was simply to win the WH, then golf-around-the-clock while rubber-stamping destruction of the country vis a vis his stooges and his feckless disengagement from leading.
We can’t go on like this. It’s time to put a grown up behind the wheel.
Aint the federal governments in the first place.
That land is held and managed under a trust.
BTW, quite a lot of that land in southern NV/UT and N AZ is contaminated from the NV test site.
The cast and crew of the movie about the mongols staring John Wayne? 90% died of cancer. They filmed near St George UT.
[snip - emphasis mine] Gov. Brian Sandoval maintains his alternative would exclude only about 6 percent of the federal land the government has temporarily withdrawn from future mineral development in Nevada, where previously unverified mining claims are effectively frozen across 4,200 square miles - a swath nearly as large as the state of Connecticut.
The moderate Republican wants to swap about one-fifth of the withdrawn area, some 555,000 acres, for 394,000 alternative acres he says contain higher quality habitat more critical to the survival of the imperiled bird . . .
Interior Secretary Sally Jewell decided in September the greater sage grouse didn't warrant Endangered Species Act protection across 11 western states . . .
But almost simultaneously, the Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management adopted new regulations restricting development around grouse habitat that some critics say are just as onerous for ranchers, miners and others.
Agenda 21 at work.
