Federal Land Seizure Act Resuscitating Itself from the Dead

 

“Looks like GOA defeated Goliath. Nice work.”

 

GOA warned you earlier this month about S. 3525, the Federal Land Seizure Act of 2012.

 

As you will remember, Senator Jon Tester (D-MT) -- who is “F” rated by Gun Owners of America -- is pushing this “hunting” bill which authorizes the Obama administration almost unlimited power to seize private lands for “environmental” purposes.

 

While it purports to the contrary, the bill would allow these seizures without the permission of the landowners for virtually any reason.

 

You guys delivered a crushing blow to this bill when you pressed your Senators to oppose it.  We won, and it appeared the bill was dead for the year.

 

As one highly placed office in the Senate told GOA:  “Looks like GOA defeated Goliath. Nice work.”

 

Sadly, in politics it’s often the case that a dead “Goliath,” like a Zombie, can come back to life -- which is why we need now to cut off its head.  S. 3525 could come up for a vote as early as Today.

 

Please go here to read the details about the details of this nefarious bill in our previous alert.

 

And contact your two U.S. Senators and urge them to OPPOSE S. 3525, the Federal Land Seizure Act of 2012.
