She has promised not to support Omnibus bills. So we’ll see how she votes in this bill. Expansion of the Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) could be in there. That would mean billions of dollars for land acquisition. The various staff people are working with Reid now to see if they can run the bill through the Senate before new years.

While they’re working on the Fiscal Cliff, a lot of bad things can happen when Congress is in session and not paying attention to your issues. The lame duck congress is when all kinds of bad bills slip through Congress because your Senators and Congressman may no longer be responsible to you. Background You must call your Congressman and both Senators to urge them to oppose ANY Omnibus Federal Lands bill. That’s where Harry Reid gives every Senator a bill or two he wants passed that did not pass during the year. The understanding is that the Senator will then look the other way and ignore other parts of the massive Omnibus Federal Lands Bill ... even if they hurt you and your community. In 2010 Harry Reid tried to pass Omnibus Federal Lands Bill with over 200 bills in it. Fortunately you fought and defeated it. Now that the election is passed, American Land Rights has turned our attention to defeating the likely Omnibus Federal Lands Bill and the EPA Corps of Engineers land and water grab in the lame duck Congress. Here’s a reminder list of some of the land grab threats the Obama Administration, Senator Harry Reid and other members of Congress have planned for you: New National Monuments; New Wilderness study areas; Wild Lands land grab; Treasured Landscapes Initiative; America’s Great Outdoors Campaign; New BLM Land Use Planning/Wilderness expansion; and Eminent domain and Condemnation. ---------Urgent Action Items Please tape a copy of this message to your refrigerator door.
