We need to end the executive authority which allows a President to unilaterally designate a National Monument.

Clinton abused this very badly in Utah, and now Obozo has done so (under very different circumstances) in Maine. In the current case it was a private landowner who wanted the NM designation, so it was a different case from what happened in Utah under the Clintoons.

In any case, the country has quite enough National Monuments and National Parks, adding new ones is a budget buster (they don’t pay for themselves except maybe for a few of the very most popular ones, which this isn’t).

Look for increased wildfires in a few years due to government mismanagement.

Actually, the article(s) in the Constitution which grant the federal government authority to establish and maintain national parks/monuments should be examined first and . . . Oh, wait . . .

Stonewall, the homosexual bar in New York, is now a national monument.

Will school kids be taken there on field trips now, to learn history??? The liberals have decided that homosexual rights is on the same level, and equivalent, to the civil rights movement of the ‘50s and ‘60s.
