Newest US Senate Land Sale Amendment

[Nick87]

Totally agree. Imagine what else we could do that for…

No kidding.

Whew!

Big thanks to @Big Fin. It is certainly well deserved. But also a big thanks to everyone that sent an email and made a phone call and simply demanded their voice be heard. I know there is a desire to not want to get involved in politics, but the process requires it. We won’t win them all, but celebrate the victories when they come.

I spent the last 2 days on a lake camping and without service. That was delightful, and this is a fine thing to read upon being connected again.

Thanks for this place, it’s purveyor, and what it represents beyond those who know about it are on my mind.

Not being dramatic, but I don’t know if I have seen a single topic more unifying across political spectrums in my entire life outside of 9/11.I will be interested to hear how we leverage this obvious and undeniable like-mindedness and go on the offensive.

I can’t picture my life without Public Lands. Can’t dream about the future with out em, actually.

He just cannot be honest. The average american family cant afford to buy these lands nor the installation of infrastructure to live there. Want to better manage the land then write a bill that earmaks the royalties the Government recieve from our gas and oil to pay for it and keep the selling of our land out of it. AND....the US government does not own thes lands. We do.

I have listened to several of Lee’s speeches, interviews, etc. I have yet to see the man string together 3 sentences that are truthful, honest, and genuine.

I hope Mike Lee is ugly crying in a basement somewhere, but he is likely incapable of tears......so he's just regrouping.

Just got a text that Lee's unpopularity is about to bite him in the ass. I'm not sure how this happens, procedurally, but I've been told to stand by. It seems Thune told Lee he wasn't going to win when the amendment came from the MT/ID delegation, so Thune offered to take it out and let Lee save face. If so, that's a victory, but I wanted a show of hands.

If so, Lee and anyone else who decided to FA, needs to FO, that there are serious consequences. He's likely safe in Utah, just how it is. But, as has been mentioned on this thread, he did something nobody has been able to do - take a topic and make it American and disregard any R/D bullshit.

Rs currently willing to vote in favor of removal - Daines, Sheehy, Crapo, Risch, Hawley, Marshall, Schmidt, Tillis, Husted, Moreno, McCormick, Britt, and even more are leaning that way.

From what I understand, Lee has one option. I've been told what it is, but I don't completely understand. If he uses that option, it's almost the nuclear option for him.

I know that many will want to credit Rs for bucking a Chairman, within their party. And we should. Yet, one guy who has committed every part of his body towards this effort since it first was dropped by Lee on June 11th has been Senator Martin Heinrich (D-NM). I had him on a podcast recently, and I've told all of you that he is one of the few elk hunters in Congress. Public land hunting is his identity and what he lives for. He and his staff are always so helpful. I hope he gets the credit he deserves.

Stand by for more....

“And to those already plotting to go after our public lands another way: Don’t. Unless you like losing.” -Sen. Heinrich

Maybe all my calls and emails to hawley and Schmidt worked. Bout got to know the staffers personally.

I did the same, probably not to the extent of knowing the staffers though How can we see that they both voted to strip it out of the BBB? I will be sending thank you notes to them when I see something official.

Nobody voted to strip the land sale from the BBB. Behind the scenes there were promises from the Rs mentioned in the thread that they would vote for an amendment to remove it so Lee himself ultimately pulled the section from consideration.

 

[peterk1234]

Thank you emails have been sent to everyone I contacted. Also sent an email to Trump about the importance of our public lands. Figured it couldn't hurt.

I think everyone should bomb Trump. Let's bury Lee.

 

[hank4elk]

65% of Americans are against the whole bill.

 

[peterk1234]

Look who got thanked. I guess Lee pushed it until the end.

 

[Lucky_Lep]

What is the status of RMEF's P.A.C.???

Mid-terms are right around the corner. Lee is not up until 2028, but there are plenty of members of congress who we're going along with and/or helping with this betrayal.

Just learned that DJ Jr. Is a board member on the group Hunter Nation. DJ Jr. posted his disagreement with the public lands sale and desire to pull it from the bill.

I don't know if I'm the last one to catch this, but it's now making sense where that group came into play.

 

[Archer86]

Did i miss something donld trump Jr is trying to claim he worked with senator lee to get this dropped...he seamed silent the whole time until now.....

Yea, he posted after it was all over, never said a thing prior. If you think he's a public land advocate you're dreaming.
I also saw a post from Shockey a few years ago stumping for Lee and the sale of public lands. Not a surprise considering he jacked his paid customers for another 30% after he spent their money during covid.

I’ll bet Lee got his A$$ chewed out privately by the president. The president has his business/agenda to attend to and Lee was in the way of that business with a pet personal project.
