Nevada Governor Calls Federal Cattle Roundup ‘Intimidation’

LAS VEGAS (CBS Las Vegas/AP) — Nevada’s governor is criticizing a federal cattle roundup and what he calls “intimidation” in a dispute with a rancher who claims longstanding grazing rights on open range outside Las Vegas.

Federal Bureau of Land Management and National Park Service officials didn’t immediately respond Wednesday to Republican Gov. Brian Sandoval’s call for the BLM to “reconsider its approach.”

Sandoval says he’s most offended that federal officials have tried to corral people protesting the roundup into a “First Amendment area.”

If the Governor has ant gonads he would call out the States National Guard and stand up for the people who elected him.

"First Amendment Area"????? That would be the land between the Atlantic & Pacific, south of Canada and north of Mexico, right?

All these alphabet bureaucratic agencies under O are out of control. Time to remove these ever growing canker sores on the butt of the USA. Defunding by Congress would be a good first step. Start with NSA and work your way down. With the THOUSANDS of agencies involved, that would be a tremendous saving of the people's tax money.
