"Cowboy Express" reaches Washington, DC

These 11 ranchers and farmers rode cross country to DC, with their saddlebags stuffed with petitions collected along the way. They made stops in Utah, Nevada and Kansas and met with some tribal nations to bring these by horseback to the nation's Capitol.
They are petitioning their congressmen to address very serious concerns, stemming from abuse by BLM'S agents. These range from blocking grazing lands for which they have permits, and on privately owned land which the gov shouldn't have any say in.
It seems like they have done this with a lot of thought, and clearly a tremendous amount of time and energy. May their efforts not be in vain.

    I think I might start collecting articles like this in order to prove to doubters that we're becoming a totalitarian state.

    You have just labeled all Libertarians as racist. The very same thought process used by actual racists.

    dino, I recognize the sarc. Wonder why they didn't get arrested for whatever reason the feds might come up with?

    Yes. States must stand up and defend state sovereignty and rights. I don't believe the Feds have the guts to confront a state Militia/ National Guard. If they did it would raise such a clamor as to be heard around the nation. Federalism/ individual state sovereignty must not be allowed to perish. Its standing must be restored as a bulwark against federal tyranny.

    I like that idea. Hope all the states come up with this plan and implement it. Federal ownership, or possession, of land serves no purpose except in the case of military bases.

    Sadly true. With the Obama Administration,I think that the only thing accomplished by the petitioners is to get their names on some persecution list.

    Comrade citizens, I humbly hat in hand submit that our elite betters have missed an opportunity here.
    Those cowboys shoulda been arrested for letting their horses eat grass along highways they did not build.

    I predict the response they will receive is "...and the horse you rode in on."

    If the cowboys rode their horses on Obama's favorite golf course, they would immediately get national attention and condemnation, since horse poop could make the president's golf game crappy...

    I hope so! But the administration may be so fascinated by the pretty horsies that they can't talk about anything else.

    To solve this problem, a western governor and state legislature need to pass a state law taking back ownership of federal land that is not part of any federal military base. Then, the state's national guard should move in to ensure ownership transfer, driving out BLM and other federal tyrants...

    I hope you are right Non Mooch. This administration is clearly tone deaf but November 4th may help change things.
