Red River Rumble? BLM Wants to Seize 90,000 Acres of Texas Ranchers’ Land!

The Red River is the boundary between Texas and Oklahoma…or is it?

Byers, Texas along the Red River — The BLM stole 140 acres of the Tommy Henderson ranch thirty years ago. They took his land and paid him absolutely nothing. He sued and lost.  Now the BLM is using that court case as precedent to do it again. The problem is, the land they want to seize is property that ranchers have a deed for and have paid taxes on for over a hundred years.

The BLM claims that about 90,000 acres (116 miles along the Red River) have never belonged to Texas in the first place. They will seize the land and it will seriously change the boundaries between the two states.......... 

It is time for the American people to rise up against the theft of private lands and property by a government that is out of control. Ranchers have contact Texas Representative Mac Thornberry for assistance. We will monitor this situation as it progresses.....To Read More.....

My Take - It's high time the U.S. sold all the land it owns and isn't using for immediate needs and eliminate the BLM.  Once again.....what percentage of the land mass of the U.S. is owned by the government?  Almost 30%.  Why?
