Representative Chris Harris (D) – Bozeman, blasted Maedje’s amendment on the floor of the House arguing that “Iraq could buy this land. North Korea could buy this land, but our own red white and blue federal government can’t buy this land. This is wrong.”

This is a great start, now how do we get the rest of the west back, they own most of it.

We can't - it's what is backing up the value of Treasury securities and the US dollar. The Feds need western land as indirect collateral to keep foreign investments flowing, or the markets will go south in a hurry. Besides, the environmentalists are hoping the Feds will donate the whole package to the UN as a biosphere reserve some day - selling it off would ruin their plans and make a lot of them vote Green instead of Democrat.

Keep doing things like this and start rolling back Fed Lands and you will change it. The only thing that scares me is if they (The Feds) decide to get heavy handed. People out here won't take that and you will most likely see bloodshed before it's all over.
