Now what liberty can there be where
property is taken away without consent?"- Samuel Adams
"We support property rights and pipelines - both.
Presently, CFACT is fighting against the “Dominion Pipeline” in Virginia (with local
property owners and against the company) because of the way the utility is using
eminent domain to trample on private property rights. Just because we support
the concept of a pipeline doesn’t mean we necessarily think the way
it is put in should strong-arm local property owners!Here’s a website we helped build for a group of property owners
in rural Virginia fighting AGAINST a pipeline - though we
support the concept of a pipeline and certainly fracking."

As long as private property rights are wholly honored, Americans should seize upon every legal opportunity available, to full bore engage in domestic energy production and exports.
Maintaining energy independence in the U.S. is a matter of security for each American...equally.
Today's exploration/production and reclamation technology is minimally invasive, and is instead, a great revenue generator for communities.
The benefits energy production brings to rural communities can be directly tied to ample resuscitation of agriculture.
So there you have it! A win for both food and fuel production; key components that will sustain a strong, healthy America!

Amplify the Oil Boom by Liberating U.S. Exports - Ending the ban on sending crude overseas would increase jobs. Fears about a gasoline price spike are overblown.
By JOHN DEUTCH - on Aug. 11, 2015 7:01 p.m. ET - The Wall Street JournalWith U.S. oil production on a long-term uptick, the long-standing ban on direct exports of crude should be abolished. Bills in both houses of Congress propose to do just that, and on July 30 the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee sent one of them, Alaska Sen. Click here to continue.

Dear Secretary Jewell, July 31, 2015
Regards: Fraudulent Property Accounting Complaint
Please consider this my formal complaint regarding the engagement of Fraudulent Property Accounting on Federal Land in Wyoming by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) under the U.S. Department of Interior (DOI).Reason for my complaint:
BLM has gone outside the lawful scope of their assigned administrative duties, choosing instead to engage in *Fraudulent Accounting of *Settled Property on Federal Land (in Wyoming). This has burdened me with a financial loss, which, by law, is considered as a Takings due Just Compensation.

Missouri Transfer of Public Lands Champion
by Ken Ivory
Not many people nowadays remember the name of Democratic Senator Thomas Hart Benton, but he is the very reason why the eastern states now own the large majority of their public lands. Senator Benton of Missouri, whose state at the time was 90% federally controlled for decades, spent 10 years working to get the federal government to honor the promises made to those eastern states (at the time they were considered "western states") and was finally successful in getting the ownership of public lands transferred to the respective states.

A Dose of the Truth
PATHWAY TO A BALANCED PUBLIC LANDS POLICY
A Review of and Recommendations Based On An Analysis of a Transfer of Federal Lands to the State of UtahThere has been a lot of publicity about the report recently released by Utah's Public Lands Policy Coordinating Office and not all of it is accurate. Opponents perpetuate the myth by trying to say that "we cannot manage our own lands without selling them off", knowing full well that most people will not actually read the report, but will instead believe whatever soundbites someone throws at them concerning it.
We believe that you are not "most people". We want and encourage you to read the report, or at least their summary of the report and get the facts for yourself. Below are some quoted excerpts of the report with references to where you can find them. As you read the facts, you will discover that not only can we afford to manage the public lands as states...but we absolutely canNOT afford NOT to!

Johanns, Fischer Press for Answers on Federal Land Acquisitions and Habitat Construction
WASHINGTON — U.S. Sens. Mike Johanns (R-Neb.) and Deb Fischer (R-Neb.), member of the Environment and Public Works Committee, today wrote to the Army Corps of Engineers and Fish and Wildlife Service pressing for answers about private land acquisitions and habitat construction along the Missouri River in Northeast Nebraska. The letter questions the federal government’s strategy to preserve fish and wildlife along the river in light of a scientific report suggesting that the habitat construction projects are not effective and concerns raised by citizens about the projects’ impacts to private property. Taxpayers have already spent millions of dollars on these projects, and the Army Corps is planning to spend millions more, with little or no evidence of effectiveness.

The federal Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is offering leases on 24 parcels of land totaling 6,797 acres during its quarterly oil and gas lease sale in the coming weeks -- 6,316 acres of which are on privately owned land. The federal government claims to own the underground mineral rights, LandandWaterUSA.com, has learned, based on an obscure law passed by the U.S. Congress 100 years ago and signed by Woodrow Wilson, the nation’s first elected progressive president. “No protests were received for this sale,” the BLM said in a statement.
