Senate vote public lands sale

[Andrew12gauge]

Communications to both Idaho senators submitted. Thank you for bringing this matter to my attention, Jason.

Got an email from Risch’s office today, I’ll summarize here, “you’re not the first of my constituents I’ve heard from but the federal government is bad so we need to sell this land off”

Super simple way to call, ask for your senators name and leave a short voice message. Both calls to my senators took under a minute start to finish

Mike Lee is the one who proposed the senate version of the bill, I don’t know what you mean by “his man”

My limited understanding is that Risch is a pretty loyal Trump man, so him saying the feds are bad just when trump is reshaping them is a little funny.

Any update or statement from the Wyoming senators? I’ve contacted mine, but I’m east of the Mississippi so they probably don’t give a shit.

My buddy in WY said he got a response from one of his senators that "blamed Biden for this"

My senators are both bluer than papa Smurf. They both responded to my contact with their opposition.

Mike Lee is catching some real public heat over his tweet's about the Minnesota assassinations.
Probably doesn't hurt our cause if the dude is publicly unpopular right now and his peers feel a need to distance themselves.

I emailed my WI senators but heard no response. With one R and one D I’m guessing they will follow party lines.

I guess it's to be expected at this point, but if true this is another great example of the pathetic state of our politics in this country.

No word from the Texans.

I'm fairly certain that most everyone knows exactly what I mean. And, even if you don't, the implied criticism is relatively easy to interpret.

La Plata Canyon, parts around Lemon, parts around Hermosa Creek, etc etc. Brutal, saddening and nonsensical.

As he should, what an absolute piece of shit

I was born and raised in Reno in 1956. There should be a 1/2 million dollar gap between 2 identical houses in Nevada and Texas. I could hunt and fish on literally millions of acres of public land around Reno and in Nevada. Texas? Maybe wear a cowboy hat and shoot a deer under a feeder. Northern Nevada's big problem is getting the water for any more growth. I think they're tapped out.

Did you shoot a man just to watch him die?

Very few politicians have Sen Lee's back right now which could be a good thing

Yeah, I noticed that the Mtn Bike community has picked up on Phil's World and Animas City Mtn being on the map. The sellable land on the map around Silverton is insane.

I think a new version came out late yesterday… anyone know if the public lands sale is still in it? An article I saw mentioned a bunch of other stuff that changed, but not this.

If Mike Lee came to Minnesota and tried to cross the street there would be a demolition derby to determine who gets to him first.

Map shows iconic Wyoming landscapes could be developed under GOP budget, land sale plan - WyoFile

Federal land at Green River, Fremont and New Fork lakes could be nominated for sale, according to a map based on the bill’s language.

This should get some reaction

One thing is certain, this issue is to the Republican Party what “men in women’s sports” is to the Democratic Party.

It’s an 80/20 issue, if not worse. I asked Grok what the public sentiment was like on X.

“Sentiment Analysis


• Negative: ~85–90% of X posts express anger, concern, or outright opposition, driven by conservationists, recreational users, and Western residents. The tone is passionate, often alarmist, with terms like “disaster,” “betrayal,” and “corporate giveaway.”


• Neutral: ~5–10% of posts are informational, sharing news or maps (e.g., The Wilderness Society’s 120-million-acre map) without explicit commentary.


• Positive: <5% of posts support the proposal, mostly from GOP-aligned users or those echoing the housing crisis narrative, but these are sparsely engaged.”

This is a political suicide pact started by Mike Lee. I just hope the rest of the GOP is smart enough to realize it, which given their history, is a real question.

One way or another, now is no time to lay down and take it.
