The BLM was busy rounding up our cattle down near Overton beach on the northern most end of Lake Mead.
This is a pretty long drive from the ranch house.
We were pleased that two Nevada House of Representatives visited to address the protestors and the media.
While we're pleased with Representative Crescent Hardys efforts to address land issues we were sadly disappointed at
Representative Michelle Fiores lack of understanding on land issues and the current situation. She vowed to learn
more about it soon.
In the middle of that meeting, word came, that three protestors had been detained near Overton Beach.
We did not want to leave them alone with BLM so the entire group hurried toward Overton only to discover the
BLM had cited two of the protestors but not in time to keep the BLM from injuring one of them when they tackled him
to the ground.They injured his face, arms and legs.
We really need everyone that can to show up on Saturday April 12. We want a large show of support to demonstrate to the
BLM that the American people are not going to tolerate their heavy handed tactics.
Please, get off the couch and join us.
Date: April 12, 2014
Time: 8am - BLM goes home
Place: Bunkerville Exit on I-15, 3 miles south of Mesquite. Go east 2 miles toward Bunkerville.
Bring: sun protection, its getting hot. Water, food, cameras.
DO NOT bring: Guns or wear Cammo patterned clothing.
This needs to be peaceful law-abiding people showing support. No more, no less.
We will be working harder to keep you informed on email and text messaging.
Please bear with us we just started figuring this stuff out. We raise cows, PR is not our thing.
Carol
