Bundy Ranch Standoff – Waco Again?
Bundy Ranch Standoff – Waco Again?
Natural Life Energy
Cliven Bundy and his family are caught in a fight with the federal government over land in the state of Nevada.
Cliven Bundy refuses to acknowledge a 1993 modification to grazing rights on the land.
Bundy claims the public land has been in his family and has been used by his family since the 1800’s.
The federal agency Bureau of Land Management (BLM) says Bundy now has no right to have his cattle graze on the land.
On Saturday, 4/05/14, hundreds of federal officials, hired cowboys, and low flying helicopters began rounding up Bundy’s cattle for auction.
Nevada Governor Brian Sandoval and Senator Dean Heller have condemned the BLM and BLM Director Neil Korne for handling Cliven Bundy, his family, and other Silver State residents with heavy handed actions.
Governor Brian Sandoval said:
“No cow justifies the atmosphere of intimidation which currently exists nor the limitation of constitutional rights that are sacred to all Nevadans…”
“The BLM needs to reconsider its approach to this matter and act accordingly.”
Senator Dean Heller told BLM Director Neil Korne:
“I told him very clearly that law-abiding Nevadans must not be penalized by an over-reaching BLM…”
Pete Santili, in the video below, wants the sheriff to exercise his constitutional authority and demand the federal agents to leave:
