It is criminal to want to use public lands as a weapon against the citizen of the United States. The public lands shouldn't be managed by the federal government it should be given back to the States as was the initial intent. To sell anything doing with public lands is just another way to lock up the lands that are supposed to be enjoyed by the citizens of the United States. We already have millions of acres locked up in so called Wilderness Study Areas that NEVER get studied it is just a way to keep the land locked up. There is also millions of acres already in Wilderness designation, National Parks, National Forests and Monuments that continue to take away the rights of the American People. There The NEC needs to stay out of this business. It is criminal that this discussion is even happening.
