One Big Beautiful Bill is not dead - Senator Mike Lee's turn to go after our public land.

[INMT]

Called and emailed both my senators.

I knew it was just halftime. Time to work the phones again. Maybe if Lee gets the beatdown, Burgum will quit lying about selling public lands being a popular idea across the west also.

 

[R.K.]

Emails sent. Let’s see if they are listening.

 

[mevertsen]

I sent emails to my senators. Not sure where they land on it. I know one is for the affordable housing. Not sure on the other.

 

[SAJ-99]

I know one is for the affordable housing.

We should at least require some conditions - land sales must be under 300 acres, must be at fair-market price, must be used for low-income multi-family housing, and funds must be used to buy other land (I would have said the funds should have been put in the LWCF accounts, but those are being pillaged too), etc.

Good thing I have a supply of 2 legged vermin ammo...MFers.

Messages sent opposing any legislation that threatens public land sales. Thanks for starting the thread @44hunter45

The more people in your district that bother him the better.

How/why do people in UT keep electing him????

How/why do people in UT keep electing him????

Read UT history. It has always had a dislike-hate relationship w the federal gov't, since the feds told LDS no more polygamy. Read about the Recapture ATV protest. Next read about the Blanding pot hunting sting by FBI.

Because he represents their interests.

 

[CollegeDad]

Because he represents their interests.

As a Christian conserative I could not morally vote for the alternative in the WH and chose to defend my interest where I don't align with republicans. So I will continue to call and send emails to my democratic senators who are already opposing the bill.

Have you... thought through the implications and issues with that?

Why? They oppose the bill. You don't have to worry about them.

This is part of it. You also need to understand Deseret theology and building Zion. You need land for that. Land that the church considers to be theirs by divine right.

Here is the text of the proposal in the bill.

Yes!!!! Morally I still could not vote for the alternative.
