WHAT IS WRONG OUT WEST?
- The fight for what is left of the west.
I was recently ask by one of our friends “What is wrong with the west?” It is a great question.
What is wrong is that, “out west” is what is left of America and the American ideal. This doesn’t fit the pocket books of many in Washington DC and they want to turn the West in a corporate entity like the rest of USA inc.
The trouble is out west and can been seen most recently by the vast round ups of our Wild Horses currently underway. The same horses declared by Congress as a free roaming symbol of the sprit of the American west and given sanctuary on our public lands. This land is being cleared of horses so that big business can bring in more cattle to suport that failing industry and more gas and oil production to be done in part by foreign business so they can sell our own resources back to us.
Did you know the US EXPORTS over a million barrels of oil a day? More than the most optimistic production figure for the total output of ANWR. ( http://tinyurl.com/23gbpan)
Yes the trouble is out west but the root is with the rascals in Washington who have sold out the American people by outsourcing jobs and selling technology to the highest bidder. When we think about it, it has become obvious that our government will go to any level no matter how vile to make a buck for big business. Off shore drilling with no real safety measures, the remove of vast areas of old growth forrest and mining pristine wilderness areas in remote Alaska. All recently under the guise of “we need jobs”. With over 12,000 jobs being outsourced monthly and upwards of 12 million illegal ’s in America how can this be taken seriously?
WE need to wake up to the fact that it is not one political party or another that is to blame. It is us!. WE need to do more that write a letter and send emails. WE need to protest in the street, in the “letters to the editor” columns of local newspapers and in front of the media. Contact not only the government, but the media asking for both national and local investigations of what is going on.
Now is the time to take a stand. America is in deep trouble and this is when we need to push for great change. We need to take our country back from the corporations and bureaucrats.

Something a little cooler
- Yellowstone Wolf Hunting
With the country heating up and mid August here I thought it would be nice to give you all something else to think about. Cooler weather will come and the wolves will hunt their prey in the deep snow.
