Here's the bad news from PLF below.
"However, there is also troubling news. The Supreme Court ruled against us in Robbins v. Bureau of Land Management
Harvey Robbins, a Wyoming rancher, filed suit against government agents after they allegedly harassed him, trespassed on his property, and promised to give him a "hardball education" in an effort to force him to grant an easement on his property
In a devastating blow, the Supreme Court ruled that property owners have no constitutional right to prevent government agents from trespassing on their land.
Any person who refuses to give up land the government wants could now be subjected to bullying until they give in!"

4. The BLM is an agency within the U.S. Department of Interior. Perhaps you would like to go to their site and tell them what you think. http://www.blm.gov/wy/st/en.html
5. Also note a prior email attached above outlining the American history of taking, "When Did Our Freedom Die", excerpt below.
6. Since the founding documents were signed, we have seen escalating government takings in many forms, e.g.
Increased & disproportional application of the tax burden & growing abandonment of Const. Section 8 uniform application, et al
Executive Branch Supremacy via Executive Orders & Proclamations short circuiting the Legislative Branch starting at the first administration of President Washington in 1789. 158 EO's were issued up to Teddy Roosevelt & 13,698 including & following his.
Positivism starting after 1902 whereby prior case law establishes precedence in judicial decisions vs. constitutional and legislative intent.
Increased takings of our freedoms by Judicial Branch Supremacy roughly starting around 1954
Legislator Branch Supremacy via pandering to special interest groups trading away individual constitutional freedoms
Abuse of emergency clauses
Breakdown of the check and balance of the three branches of our government whereby government now colludes to lock up power
Kidnapping of a representative form of government by political parties and special interest groups
Expansion of government social programs pimping out government funding creating generations of dependent societies
Increasing role of government funded academia to act as Academic Supremacist justifying more government & blocking competition
Increasing role of government has undermined individual self reliance, the role of the church & charity, taken jobs from the private sector, propped up failing social models & political groups, created generations of dependent people, generated massive debt and corruption, blocked competition & created excessive debt
Increasing demands by Americans for the government to protect them from other Americans constitutional freedoms
6. If all this is not enough to convince you then consider freedom is dying when:
• You see the constitutional rights of your property rights disappearing,
• Your vote nullified by corrupt election systems,
• The sovereignty of your country being riddled by the UN and global governance,
• Your borders disappearing,
• Your government growing ineffective and more corrupt,
• Exponential growth of environmental extremism,
• A media unable to tell both sides of the story
• Its hard to tell the entertainment industry from the media
• Your gun rights under attack,
• Your right to see expressions of God in public places,
• Out of control government spending,
• Out of control political corruption,
• Concentration of populations in the cities and government telling small rural farmers how to manage their land,
• 10,000 cases (attempted and successful) of eminent domain by cities in the last 5 years,
• A class action suit of 30,000 cases of permitting abuse against King County WA (Executive Ron Sims),
• Pushing loosing transportation systems for the cities at the expense of everyone
• Pushing sports stadiums against the will of the people and ignoring the PDA
• Blocking rural land & home improvement by transferring county overhead costs onto home owners, i.e double taxation
• Allowing a 20,000 seat rural outdoor amphitheater for the Muckleshoot tribe on private land
• Rural people and other counties say no more environmental taking & having to go to the supreme court to fight the county to stop it
• Extravagant environmental nonsense, e.g. digging up rural roads and adding $100,000 concrete bunkers for a few fish,
• Implementing ineffective bloated environmental acts such as ESA based on junk science and green lunacy logic
• Implementing ineffective social engineering programs to increase density in the cities & park out the country when only 6 % of the total land in the U.S is developed & the programs only make matters worse.
• Ignoring individual freedom of choice and our State and United States Constitutions,
• Hiring more government to solve government problems
• Freedom is neutralized by the increasing numbers on government dole
• People do not honor the struggle of others and allow them to solve their own problems their own way, e.g. family, church, charity
Too much government is turning our individual freedoms into a graveyard. Still don't believe me, link to the Grandfather Economic Report http://mwhodges.home.att.net/.
