I'm telling you, the gov. wants it all for themselves. The Antiquities act, mining law changes, closures all over the country. Too bad "we" don't care enough to stop it.

It has been said that one phone call or letter to a Representative or Congressperson has been known to change their vote, yet they never get a call or a letter from voters.
I told a person once to write their Congressman about something and that person asked me to get the C's address for him!! I told him no. If he was too lazy to find it then he was too lazy to write the letter and would expect me to write it for him. He said, "Well, Ya"!!

Grassroots, folks, grassroots.

It takes a grassroots movement--that's us, folks.

And, yes, I am doing my part.

It may not hurt to read up about "CERTIFICATES" that a "Surveyor" can "Sign and Title".

some steps in the right direction;
Chairman Bishop asked Secretaries Perdue and Zinke “to conduct a comprehensive and expedited review of all mineral withdrawals executed in the past eight years to determine those of merit and those whose purpose served only to block appropriate development under FLPMA.”

Bishop asks for Inquiry into intentional misuse of statutory authority using mineral withdraws
to stop mining under false pretenses of environmental protectionism;
