Not on my watch will we sell or transfer our public lands.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The federal government needs to do a much better job of managing our resources, but the sale or transfer of our land is an extreme proposal, and I won't tolerate it.
The public lands are a public stock, which ought to be disposed of to the best advantage for the nation.
I think if you buy from people who are taking care of the land, you're supporting the future of this country.
I will work tirelessly to ensure our public lands are managed and preserved in a way that benefits everyone for generations to come.
This will remain the land of the free only so long as it is the home of the brave.
Fish and Wildlife has a significant amount of federal funds for land acquisition, yet it is skimping on management of the lands it already possesses and shortchanging local tax bases.
Buy land, they're not making it anymore.
I have always been a strong supporter of public lands and have voted against the transfer or sale of public lands. My position is known and well-established.
We are no longer going to ask for the land, but we are going to take it without negotiating.
Every time there's a dip in the market, we buy. If you don't buy the land right, it ain't going to work.
