Harry Reid has loaded multiple bills into a new Omnibus Federal
Lands Bill.

We only know a few of the bills included but it is huge. It does
include the Tester Montana wilderness bill; It does make the Valles
Caldera in New Mexico a national park; It does include the Sealaska
bill; and I am sure much more. Reid is trying buy the vote of Senator
Murkowski by including the Sealaska bill. She has promised not to
support Omnibus bills. So we’ll see how she votes in this bill.

Expansion of the Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) could be
in there. That would mean billions of dollars for land acquisition.

The various staff people are working with Reid now to see if they can
run the bill through the Senate before new years.

Action Items – Urgent Action Required
A
Your Senator can stop this bill. All he has to do is file an
object or put a hold on the bill. Time will run on January 1st.

You must call both your Senators every business day now until January
1st. Ask for a commitment to oppose any Omnibus Federal Lands Bill.

This is urgent and critical.

You may call any Senator at (202) 224-3121. That is the Capital
Switchboard. Ask for your Senator’s office. Then ask for the staff
person who handles Federal lands. They may be working over the weekend
so call Saturday and Sunday also.

Ask for a promise by your senator that he or she will place a hold on
the new Omnibus Federal Lands Bill.

This is really the start of a massive Obama Reid Federal lands grab
with National Monuments and a whole bunch of other lock ups.

If you are going to have credibility fighting the huge Obama Reid
Federal land grab plan that is coming at you, you need to call your
Senator now every day until Tuesday. Call Friday. Call Monday. You can
even try over the weekend. Many staff will be working.

But you must rise up and take action.

This is especially true in Alaska.

While they’re working on the Fiscal Cliff, a lot of bad things
can happen when Congress is in session and not paying attention to
your issues.

The Lame Duck Congress is when all kinds of bad bills slip
through Congress because your Senators and Congressman may no longer
be responsible to you.

Background:

-----You must call your Congressman and both Senators to urge them to
oppose ANY Omnibus Federal Lands bill.

-----That’s where Harry Reid gives every Senator a bill or two he
wants passed that did not pass during the year. The understanding is
that the Senator will then look the other way and ignore other parts
of the massive Omnibus Federal Lands Bill . . . . . even if they hurt
you and your community.

In 2010 Harry Reid tried to pass Omnibus Federal Lands Bill with over
200 bills in it. Fortunately you fought and defeated it.

Now that the election is passed, American Land Rights has turned our
attention to defeating the likely Omnibus Federal Lands Bill and the
EPA Corps of Engineers land and water grab in the Lame Duck Congress.

Here’s a reminder list of some of the land grab threats the Obama
Administration, Senator Harry Reid and other members of Congress have
planned for you.

New National Monuments;
New Wilderness study areas;
Wild Lands land grab;
Treasured Landscapes Initiative;
America’s Great Outdoors Campaign;
New BLM Land Use Planning/Wilderness expansion; and
Eminent domain and Condemnation.
