See why Senator Mike Lee fully supports 
the Transfer of Public Lands Act (Utah's HB148)

 

Did You Know?
Article Subheading
The evidence is overwhelming that Congress has ever been duty-bound to transfer title to the public lands within a reasonable time from the new states being admitted into the Union.  Congress itself said so.  So did the formerly "western states" of Illinois, Florida, Missouri, Louisiana, and many others. (Read  here for details.)

Greetings!

The need for local control of our public lands is crystal clear when you take a moment to look at the ranching community and the incredible, often insurmountable, pressures they face from the failed policies of our federal government.  

Radical environmentalist groups push legislators to take over enormous tracts of land, reserving it as "Wilderness Area", with little concern for the rights of our ranchers, whose rights have existed for generations, many in existence long before the states were even created.  Take a moment and watch this short video about Tom DePuydt, Rose Stoneberg, and other Montana ranchers and the daily battles they face to preserve our American way of life.

Read here about another family, Ross, Luke and Mark Salmond of the Eastern Slope of the Rocky Mountains and their struggle to care for the land as their ancestors have done since the 1870's.

 

The Transfer of Public Lands Act is The Only Solution Big Enough to put these situations back into the hands where they belong:  the states'.  The further away the landlord, the more out-of-touch their decisions.  Those closest to the situation are always the best suited to solve the unique challenges that each community faces.  

 

The problems being caused by our federal government's failed policies are endless.  Please join with us and leverage your power to get the federal government to keep its promise to the Western States, just as it did with Hawaii and all states East of Colorado.   We must all stand together...and we must do it today.

 

Ken Ivory

ALC President
