Newest US Senate Land Sale Amendment

They obviously had this ready in advance. What else is in their magazine?

I hope it doesn't matter. I am glad all the high profile people in every industry that uses publicland, not just hunting, has made the point that NO PUBLIC LAND should be sold. Drew a pretty stark line in the sand and that's what the other senators have been hearing. Hopefully they take it to heart.
 
If this gets removed the amount of positive fall out is HUGE! I don't ever remember seeing so many land users of varying backgrounds and believes come together and fight a common enemy. I hope relationships can be made for the future fights because we all know there will be more.

Posted elsewhere: Lee had a much smaller version ready. He just replaced the wildly unpopular first version w mini-me after Parliamentarian slapped the first one down. Lee, the answer remains NO to public land sales outside the limited mechanisms already in the law. Custer had both ears punctured post mortem because Indians wanted him to hear better in the next life. Consider it, Lee.

Just got confirmation from members of the Senate Energy & Natural Resources Committee that indeed, the Parliamentarian did rule that Lee's provisions to sell lands are considered in violation of the Byrd Rule.

So, that effectively kills the existing language. There are three other options Lee has:

1. Convince VP Vance, as presiding officer of the Senate, to overrule the Parliamentarian.

2. Convince Senator Thune, as Senate Majority Leader, to overrule the Parliamentarian (most likely route Lee will take).

3. Lee introduces new language that would require the Parliamentarian to rule again on his new language (but he is running out of time if they want to get a second ruling from the Parliamentarian.

So, the call to action this morning is this - Contact Senator Thune's office and ask him to respect the decision of the Parliamentarian and keep Senator Lee's land sale language out of the bill.

Senator John Thune

Done! Emailed and called. Thank you, Randy, for leading the charge on this. Through this amazing effort and the clear impact it's having back in Washington, I actually feel like I do have voice.

All gas no brakes!
 
Finally got Sen Curtis UT office to answer.

I exolained that he doesnt get to hide in Mike Lees shadow, with the President wanting BBB by the 4th, it was time for Curtis to issue a statement to Utahns one way or the other.

"there is a lot going on behind the scenes, but the senator has no statement at this time"


Light up Sen Curtis, lets see him explain to us as we head out for the 4th why Blackrock and Vanguard need more land for rentals.
 
"According to Lee's post, the updated draft of the bill will only include BLM land that is within five miles of cities."

These properties, the ones within city limits, are probably the most used by a variety of people. One of the last pieces to ever consider disposing. Open space around dense living areas provide an important recreational resource to so many.

Lee, you really have no clue how your constituents spend their free time. Most of us don't go to our private course after work.

Heck I’m from NJ and even for me, my favorite piece of western BLM is within 5 miles of a “city”.
 
More emails sent!!! I included the question about the wuthun 5 miles thing, whats to stop that 5 miles from being expanded once the city grows?
