the holdouts won't get to find out about this letter since all communication is cut off, or just about. This poor guy needs to be put out with his damned cows.

I've been thinking lately that there should be a limit to the amount of breathable air people like that should be allowed to use. I think he's past the limit there too, way over due.

of the refuge correctly. Does this Jackass really think the Feds are going to let a bunch more of the yahoos just stroll in there?

We could start by going to their home towns and organizing militias, just to make sure they would hear us when we explain spelling.
Just defense, right? Peaceful militias just expressing their second amendment rights, unintentional terrorism only!

that they can't pronounce it either. Oh, I wasn't going to mention that.

There is one radio station I can get on my radio and it's the mormon NPR station in Idaho. The college students who do the ... let's call it speaking ...have a real hard time reading aloud roughly half the words they encounter on the scriptscreen and on the cards, and that's on a good day.

In notice to sheriff, Nevada rancher wants all federal, state police out of Harney County
From AP and KTVZ.COM news sources

UPDATED: 9:34 AM PST February 2, 2016

... In a notarized notice sent Monday by certified mail to Harney County Sheriff David Ward (with the governor and president copied in), Cliven Bundy, whose 2014 standoff with the federal government over grazing fees drew national attention, claims he is speaking on behalf of "the People of Harney County and also We the People of the citizens of the United States."

Bundy said they "give notice that we will retain possession of the Harney County Resource Center (Malheur National Wildlife Refuge)."

"Remove all federal and state policing agents out of Harney County," Bundy advised -- but he also had a request of the sheriff.

"Place a Harney County sheriff guard post at the entrance road of the Harney County Resource Center stopping all from entering or exiting, for a time," he added ...
