Hanson wanted a legacy. As for Smith.....he is getting out of Dodge and probably wants to cause trouble.

The pressure needs to be maintained. I believe the "hold" is only good for a year..

[farmfriend]

You into land grab stuff??

[B4Ranch]

Distressed might be a better term than uneasy. I know it fits my feelings.

[B4Ranch]

That's not a good way to get another job.

It is safe to say that 2/3 of both the House and Senate supported S 990 as well as CARA. Of those that opposed, roughly half liked both bills, but opposed them because they were "off-budget"

If you read paragraph 5 of Senator Smith's Dear Colleague letter you will notice that Pittman Robertson, as it appeared in Title 3 in CARA and Title 1 of S-990, was funded as far back as 2000. It was likely also funded in subsequent years.

In spite of what ALRA and Henry Lamb might say about expansion of ESA and S 990 creating "Species at Risk", this designation already exists. In fact, there have been Federal Grants available to private land owners for "Species at Risk" for over a year now. These are available thru the Landowner Incentive Program and Stewardship Grant Program. They will also be available this year thru the $100 million Cooperative Consevation Initiative.

But they won't give up. We really have to now work on turning this whole government land-grab thing back.

Ever vigilent, we'll be standing watch. FRegards.

Q. How would a citizen or private organization obtain a grant?
A. Citizens could apply for a grant either from their state government or from the National Park Service, the Fish and Wildlife Service, or the Bureau of Land Management. The grants will be awarded competitively.

Q. How much matching funding would be required?
A. The citizen or organization applying for the grant would be required to contribute at least 50 percent of the cost of the project. In-kind contributions such as supplies and labor would count towards the 50 percent.

Q. What kinds of projects would be funded?
A. Projects would have to restore or conserve natural resources such as wetlands, streams and other habitat for the benefit of wildlife and people. Restoration of cultural resources or recreation facilities are funded through other programs.

Cool. So I can claim that awhile back, before they put in my subdivision, there was a pond on my land, so I can go dig a pond in my back yard (the labor) for the ducks (restoration), and the Federal government will pay me for it.

"Grants will be awarded competively." Or: "Grants go to the best Grant writer."

This is good news. The Endangered Species Act certainly shouldn't be expanded. If anything, it should be repealed.

[Issaquahking]

Thanks for the ping my friend! This is A GOOD DAY!

[Movemout]

I am very happy that this happened. They will not give up though.

[jragan2001]

Also remember, our President, who wants more amnesty for
illegal aliens, happens to also be a Republican.

[taxed2death]

There is absolutely no conspiracy, the plan is out in the open. Please read the document titled "UN PLAN 21".

It' all there in black and white.

BUMP

[OldFriend]

Uh oh, you are going to make us the next Daschle target......tee hee.

I was trying to make a point to those who all of the time run around with their stupid tinfoil hats on, thinking how smart they are not to believe the reality.

I used to have a map, but lost it in a computer crash, that showed the corridors that will limit public access to nothing but government-approved clusters of cities. The government must first seize all public lands before they can do it. And they are patient.

That map is what got me interested in land grabs in the first place. I wonder if any FReeper still has a copy?

[lodwick]

bttt

[taxed2death]

I'd love to see that map! Boy, that would be some interesting reading! :)
