The Bureau of Land Management is in the process of stealing another ranchers land.
Tommy Henderson has already lost land to the BLM and is currently fighting their latest attempt to take his property, “How can BLM come in and say, ‘Hey, this isn’t yours’?” Henderson asked. “… Our family paid taxes for over 100 years on this place. We’ve got a deed to it. But yet they walked in and said it wasn’t ours?”
BLM uses the fact that the border between Texas and Oklahoma, which is the Red River, constantly changes, to claim the land. They have already seized 140 acres of land, now they are trying to seize 90,000 acres and substantially change the border between the two states.
“Originally, here the river was out there where it is now and it eroded and accreted up to here, and then it eroded and accreted back. Well, [BLM’s] interpretation is that it eroded up to here but avulsed back. So when you listen to them it is always erosion to the south because the property line follows it then, but it’s always avulsion when it goes north. So the boundary can move south but it can never move back north,” states Henderson.
“We have numerous places that have been in our family for over a hundred of years, and you hate to see land that people’s worked hard for would lose. As producers we are always on a defense. We have to make decisions to try to help ourselves to help one another.”
Just another example of how corrupt our gov is
Ask the Indians

In Alaska if your a resident for over 2 yrs you get a check for the oil they sell how come the other states aren’t doing this?It is wrong what the feds are doing they are nothing but creedy pigs and they need to be removed Alaska doesn’t have sales tax to.I think all the legal citizens should have a share in the mineral rights and oil and gas.The Feds go around stealing land from people it is time to stop all of this.
Take the war to them when they show up, its the only way, because whom ever is incharge is on ego trip, and a stupid s, o, b.
This is despicable. The boundary is where it was at the time that the land was purchased. If the river keeps moving, that does not change the boundary of their land.
Time to unite and stand our ground and stop all this Obama BS
There’s a lot of government supporting propaganda out there, about Bundy. Liberal and conservative. Bundy has been in his fight since Bush. Why let this become an Obama issue, instead of what it is? A government gone crazy.
