This is the most disturbing bill I've ever seen. THESE LAND SALES ARE MANDATORY. AS IN, THEY WILL BE SOLD, WITHOUT PUBLIC PARTICIPATION. NOW IS YOUR CHANCE FOR PUBLIC PARTICIPATION. Remember the corner crossing lawsuit in WY? Now that *censored* could own the public land adjacent to his property.
If you enjoy hunting and/or the freedom to roam, you need to get involved to stop this unprecedented land grab. They'll take it from right under your feet. WRITE YOUR SENATOR, AND WRITE THE SENATORS OF IDAHO AND WYOMING. THIS CAN BE STOPPED BY PUBLIC LAND ADVOCATES. WE NEED TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS NOW.
Besides republican senators presiding over Western states like Idaho and Wyoming, who would have massive swaths of their state affected by this bill, there are a number of republican senators who take issue with Trump's Big Beautiful Bill, and should be written. Those senators are:
Josh Hawley (R-MO)
Susan Collins (R-ME)
Lisa Murkowski (R-AK)
Jerry Moran (R-KS)
Rand Paul (R-KY)
Thom Tillis (R-N.C.)
Joni Ernst (R-Iowa)
Ron Johnson (R-WI)
In addition to the senators listed above who are not sold on the Big Beautiful Bill which contains this land grab, please email the senators of ID, MT, UT (including the psycho Senator Mike Lee, who crafted this land grab), WY, telling them that unfettered access to public land is a high priority.
an example of what you could say is:
“
The Senate Reconciliation Bill land grab effectively ends the envy of the world; U.S. public land access. As a conservative, conservationist, and avid outdoorsman, I am asking you to do everything in your power to kill this provision and to keep the West accessible. This is truly terrifying, and I can't imagine the most wild parts of this great country being held privately, with very little to no public opportunity. I am in utter disbelief on this assault on our public access. From recreation access to habitat fragmentation, this bill is BAD NEWS. Please, amend this bill to exclude the mandatory sale of our public land. I am not part of your constituency, but this bill would have unprecedented consequences for myself, and millions of people like me living in the West.
Thank you!! "
I'm not trying to create a political debate here. You're here because you value hunting and access. This bill is an attempt to strip that away from you and fragment key habitat in the process. This will change Western access as we know it. This is a BIG *censored*ING DEAL.
