Protecting our Natural Resources

Friends,

The Bundy family and many others have been working on a Nevadan’s Resource Rights Bill (NRR). This bill will make it possible for the people to clearly claim their rights to the resources in Nevada and have a way to file them on state and county records. It encourages the use of these rights and protects them by state law.

There is continually more and more evidence that federal bureaucracies are seeking to take the natural resources away from the people, to fund their growth and expand their influence. In the Nevada Water Right’s Registry alone, the BLM is claiming hundreds of water rights that were once owned by the people. Some of these water rights are designated for stock-watering and once were the ranchers used for grazing. After removing the rancher, the BLM filed with the State, claimed them, and then leased them back to the people for monetary benefit. In this same attempt, last April the BLM began destroying the water infrastructures on the Bundy ranch.

We also found that when property is purchased in Nevada, in the fine print of the purchase contract the people are tricked into signing away any minerals or resources found on their private property to the federal government. We are unsure about the origins of how this was put in the contracts but it is no accident that federal bureaucrats are the beneficiary of this fine print. It also reaffirms the intent of the feds to take the natural resources from the people.

The latest terminology being used by the federal government to claim the resources has to do with private property, they call it “Split Estate”. Split Estate is were the federal government claims ownership to the resources on and under private property, and the property owner only has rights to limited benefit from the land. The BLM office in Montana even published a brochure informing the private property owners that the federal government owns the minerals found on or under their property, and if it is to be harvested the proceeds must go to them. Just another example of this deliberate grab for the people’s resources.

In 1994 the Feds took over the Nevada mining claim process and ended any new claims. Since then they have abolished most of the pre-existing claims and have only allowed large corporations that will pay huge dividends to file new claims. Access to the minerals by the people is almost nonexistent in Nevada. Nevada was once known for it’s open access to mining, its nick name is the Silver State.

A short mention of the 3.1 million acres of Southern Nevada that the BLM is proposing to turn into Area of Critical Environmental Concern (ACEC) would be in order. ACEC’s are human restricted areas. As soon as the BLM check all the boxes to file it in the federal registry the Southern Nevada people will have less access to their lands and resources than any other people in the history of this country. ACEC are consistently being used by federal agencies as an excuse to remove the rightful owners from the land, eliminating any competition to the resources. A ACEC have proven to have very little (if anything) to do with protecting the environment.

The Nevadan’s Resource Rights Bill (NRR) puts the resources back in the people’s hands, where they belong and where they are most safe. Everything we eat, live in, wear, drive, use and so on, comes from the earth. If the people cannot claim, harvest and renew the resources then we become subject to those that can. I do not wish to sound as a conspirator, but the facts are alarming and the consequences will be hard to imagine if the people lose their rights to the resources and federal bureaucracies become the beneficiaries of them.

This bill is being sponsored by some very tenacious state legislatures that see the true picture. It is also already getting opposition by state and federal bureaucracies who will lose money and influence because of it. We will need your help and voice if it is to pass. Even if you do not live in Nevada your voice and efforts will be needed.

These acts in plundering land and resources are occurring all over the country, not just in the west. Our intent is to get this bill passed in Nevada and then persuade the surrounding states to adopt it as well. To preserve and restore the resources in the peoples hands where they have been throughout most of the history of this country, and where they are most safe, is our priority.

PLEASE BE READY TO ACT. I will inform you when it is time.

Thank you,

Ammon Bundy
