Are you a defender of public lands?

Why not? Are you too busy? Do you have concerns about preserving America’s green environment? Are you too conservative? It sounds like liberal nonsense! Let me enlighten you: safeguarding our public lands from the control of oligarchs and international corporations is a shared concern.


Like to hike, camp, fish, and other outdoor activities? Then it’s worth it, and that’s enough reason to defend public lands. Or like seeing a strip mine in Yellowstone or Glacier. Run off from a fracked gas site leaking into the West Branch? Get off your ass, put down that remote, and do something. Let your voice be heard. It is not just the obvious things like mills, mines, and oil derricks. It can be subtle things like foreign governments and corporations buying up land to grow a crop. Innocent?


A while back, I read that the Saudis had purchased land in Arizona to cultivate timothy grass to feed cattle in Saudi Arabia. They are depleting our precious water resources and shipping them to the Middle East. The Chinese are also involved in similar unethical practices. So, now let’s drill, baby, drill. We happen to be one of the largest oil exporters, yet we import oil. The reason is refiners; it seems American refiners are outdated, and we have an abundance of the wrong type of oil. Research it. The gaslighting continues.
