Rep. Chris Stewart of Utah introduced a bill this week to cut funding for paramilitary units in any of the 48 federal agencies that now have these SWAT teams, such the Bureau of Land Management, the IRS, the Department of Agriculture, Department of Energy, etc etc etc
These units are really just Obama’s private army – and some Republicans are actually working to halt this communist uprising.
Rep. Stewart set out to create this legislation in response to the Cliven Bundy ranch stand-off with BLM agents.
“There are lots of people who are really concerned when the BLM shows up with its own SWAT team,” he said, the Salt Lake Tribune reported. “They’re regulatory agencies. They’re not paramilitary units, and I think that concerns a lot of us.”
We wish you the best with those efforts Rep. Stewart. Of course, the Obama regime will need his private armies when it finally hits the fan here in the US, so he will be looking to stop any actions that strip him of his minions.

Rep. Chris Stewart of Utah, concerned about the armed agents that surrounded Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy’s property, is mulling a measure to cut funding for any “paramilitary units” that work for the Bureau of Land Management, the Internal Revenue Service and other federal regulatory agencies.“There are lots of people who are really concerned when the BLM shows up with its own SWAT team,” he said, the Salt Lake Tribune reported. “They’re regulatory agencies. They’re not paramilitary units, and I think that concerns a lot of us.”

His mulled amendment to an appropriations bill comes in context of recent BLM actions against Mr. Bundy: The federal agents armed themselves and surrounded his property, tasered his son, closed down road access to the ranch and even shot a couple of his prize bulls. The reasons? Mr. Bundy hadn’t paid his grazing fees to the federal government, but rather fought the matter in court.
Militia from all over the nation came to the ranch to support Mr. Bundy in his standoff with the BLM — and for that, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid labeled them “domestic terrorists,” various media reported.
The BLM finally backed off and left — but not before a shocked nation expressed outrage at the government’s armed stance against a man who, at the root, was guilty of not paying a bill.
Mr. Stewart said it’s high time the government end its practice of arming its own special units for various agencies, like the BLM and the IRS.
“They should do what anyone else would do,” he told the Salt Lake Tribune. “Call the local sheriff, who has the capability to intervene in situations like that.”
The Interior Department, for its part, said the BLM and National Park Service had armed agents at Mr. Bundy’s ranch to guarantee the safety of the public and of their workers.

We
There has been speculation for several years that Obama was creating his own army.
It is good to know someone is doing something to halt this communists uprising, we should be moving at a faster pace on these matters and make them count..
If something is not done soon, we will have Obama as president for life, or a civil war.
Civil war on the horizon.
Right On !!
We will have WAR
Although I can appreciate the long over due effort. It is a shame so so late. It has been so obvious this was oscuma’s plan years ago to us poor dumb people of America it is sickening how slow to act our congress has been and still is. There should be non stop filing of actions,bills,torts,etc. until this traitor is behind bars and our Country back on track after null and voiding every executive and or senate passed law etc. it has ever breathed on let alone signed into law. That is it nothing short of this fraud being remove by you that tricked our Country into voting him no no allowing it to be on any ballot whatsoever. We trust you senators and reps. to verify it’s your job to find out who runs for office in this Country!!!!!!!!!!!
Good for him! Strike down O’s SS units!
Don’t act like your doing something big. You get it in place along with so many other needed actions and don’t let up, then we Americans might give you a high five. Personally I would like to fire all congress and assess all possible replacements and together find the right true Constitutionally thinking Americans to elect and reelect. I know which ones I would elect.
There should be NO para military units in Federal Agencies. Why does the BLM need snipers? Why does the IRS or any of the other agencies need guns PERIOD?
