Obama Preparing For Massive Land Grab In Texas Following rumors that the Obama administration and the Bureau of Land Management are planning another land grab, Texans have decided to speak out. According to reports, the BLM has their sites set on 90,000 acres running along the Red River on the Texas-Oklahoma border. The BLM is notI can say categoricallynot seeking to seize any privately held land along the Red River, claimed bureau Public Affairs Specialist Paul McGuire, vaguely denying rumors. However, according to recent reports, the BLM is claiming that the Red River area is not private property. They claim that 1988 court ruling against a landowner gives the federal government precedent. The BLM claims that their interest in the land is simply part of a resource management plan, in which they are working to determine the boundary between federal land and private property. What we are trying to do is to determine how and whether these lands can be managed for the benefit of the American people, McGuire claimed. Still, Texans are on guard for BLM to take action, per usual. Its not a dare, its a promise that were going to stand up for private property rights in the state of Texas, Rick Perry told Fox News, claiming that the federal government was out of control. The federal government already owns too much land, Perry continued. Texans fear that in addition to the loss of acreage, BLM accrual of the land would be a loss of food, revenue, and tax base for local schools. Which also means fewer jobs for teachers and other locals.
