When we choose not to manage, we make a management decision.

It takes decisions we make regarding our wildlife and how we operate away from us, and gives it to the Federal Government. It is about control.

In a heartbeat. We would beat them every day of the week.

They openly say that there will be public input, yet do not conduct and follow through on that.

It will shut down economic activity in these regions of the country.

This rule is just one of many which highlights an example of an overreaching, unelected bureaucracy attempting to perpetuate radical environmental policies.

Our farmers and our ranchers care about our land. They are stewards.

If we aren't able to treat invasive species on our Federal estate, there is a grass called cheatgrass, there is another one called Japanese brome.

Kristi, we don't sell land because God is not making any more land.

I would say for most ranchers, it is not a business model, it is their family legacy.

There will be business owners, small businesses in my state that will be bankrupt if this proposed rule goes into place.

to go forward with a proposed rule like this and say that what we are doing today isn't working, and ignoring what is happening on the ground, I think, is extremely arrogant, perhaps naive.

What is to prevent China from coming in and purchasing up conservation leases on our Federal lands?

I stand with Representative John Curtis of Utah, the sponsor of H.R. 3397, and his fellow Representatives who are co-sponsoring the legislation.

To go out there and to create a mechanism such as a conservation lease that could be bought by third parties, not even necessarily by people in our own country, and give them access and authority over these lands, it is dangerous.

Our enemies and those who hate the United States of America may never need to fire a shot to take us over.

One of the things that this Administration could do to get off their butt and actually do something about conservation is make sure that we get Rejuvra approved.

It is very true. In fact, you have a lot of producers out there that may have private land that is completely surrounded by BLM land.
