Entangled in a spat with the government over the practice of prescribed burning on their family ranch, the Hammond family has evidentially been labeled terrorists, and sentenced to five years in federal prison.
Prescribed burning is a preemptive move made to curtail the threat of forest fires. By thinning out the amount of vegetation on land in a controlled way, ranchers have been able to reduce the risk of serious, uncontrollable fires on their land.
While the Hammond Family has admitted to certain fires initially becoming larger than intended, all fires were privately put out, and no federal money was spent on the endeavors.
Regardless, they were still arrested.
The government’s actions here are not without precedent. Truth and Action has previously reported that the Bundy family, who own land adjacent to none other than Harry Reid, have been the subject to severe federal harassment. Other ranches have similarly complained of constant, federal oversight and harassment as well.
The Bundy family have had enough, and penned an open letter detailing the injustice of the Hammond family that you can read on the next page:
This is a travesty Feds breaking the law…. Again!!!!
People fled England’s tyranny to come to this country to be free. We are now under tyranny yet again. We who know freedom, always speak up for the Constitution and Bill of Rights that what made this country great, and the men and women who have fought to preserve that freedom are tired of the tyranny.
We have a EVIL government that is not right
WRONG, WRONG, WRONG.
That sounds about like our government, we need to tear it all down.

Meanwhile Obama frees terrorists from American prisons, opens the borders for drug cartels and Syrian rebels who have connections with AL Qaeda, and arms houses and feeds these actual terrorists using our tax dollars while punishing us for not having health insurance. And nobody, even, cares.
