It's already happened.

It was to stop the abuses of the Antiquities Act by presidents Obama & Clinton, in the large land grabs.



Wrong again.

The idea of public land transfer has been going on for a long time, and ramped up wayyy before Trump was elected to office.

Monument designation of Bears Ears wouldn't have transferred the land away from the BLM, the same agency would have managed the Monument. You like to whine and cry about "facts", and "fear mongering" and then make posts like that...unbelievable. Try to educate yourself, as you clearly have no idea what you're talking about. Monument designation and the RNC platform of public land transfer are not in any way the same.

The RNC platform agenda is 100% about transferring all BLM, FS, and USFWS lands to the States, which would immediately become a fire-sale to private ownership. Apparently you've been playing Rip Van-Winkle the last 5-6 years as State Legislatures in MT, ID, WY, etc. have been wasting tax payer money funding studies to determine the feasibility of transferring Federal Lands to the States.


Again, you are a lyin' sack of shat.

It's right there, in black and white.

Section 4. Platform Page, RNC


The residents of state and local communities know best how to protect the land where they work and live. They practice boots-on-the-ground conservation in their states every day. We support amending the Antiquities Act of 1906 to establish Congress’ right to approve the designation of national monuments and to further require the approval of the state where a national monument is designated or a national park is proposed.
