Yesterday, Thursday March 30, property rights advocates won a great victory in the Senate Budget Committee. An amendment to include funds for the pork barrel land grab Conservation and Reinvestment Act (CARA) was defeated by a 13 to 9 vote. Senator Tim Johnson (D-SD) introduced the amendment to include CARA in the plans for the Senate's budget blueprint. The amendment advocated creation of a separate trust fund, exempt from the annual appropriations process, so federal and state governments can spend over one billion dollars per year to grab land. He was joined by Senators Sarbanes (D-MD) and Boxer (D-CA). Senator Slade Gorton (R-WA) stopped this land grab by introducing a substitute amendment. It stated that any funds for land acquisition should come from regular appropriations, and not a trust fund. He was joined by Senator Pete Domenici (R-NM). Gorton's substitute amendment against CARA was approved by a vote of 13 to 9, stopping Senator Johnson from further attempts at land grabbing in committee. Here is the roll call vote. If you live in any of these states, please give these Senators the credit they deserve!!!!! YES - FOR THE GORTON SUBSTITUTE AMENDMENT FOR PRIVATE PROPERTY RIGHTS Domenici (R-NM) Grassley (R-IA) Nickles (R-OK) Gramm (R-MN) Bond (R-MO) Gorton (R-WA) Gregg (R-NH) Snowe (R-ME) Abraham (R-MI) Frist (R-TN) Grams (R-MN) Smith (R-OR) Conrad (D-ND) NO - AGAINST GORTON SUBSTITUTE AMENDMENT AGAINST PRIVATE PROPERTY RIGHTS Lautenberg (D-NJ) Hollings (D-SC) Sarbanes (D-MD) Boxer (D-CA) Murray (D-WA) Wyden (D-OR) Feingold (D-WI) Johnson (D-SD) Durbin (D-IL) *** ALERT!!! *** NEXT BATTLE!!! *** PRO-CARA AMENDMENT PLANNED FOR SENATE FLOOR NEXT WEEK!!!! The same amendment that was defeated yesterday will almost certainly be introduced on the Senate floor next week, when the full Senate takes up the Budget resolution. Once again, Senator Slade Gorton will be fighting for your private property rights, but he needs your help to stop Senator Johnson and the other land grabbers. Call and fax both of your Senators immediately. Email may be too slow!! Here's what you must do: 1. Call both of your Senators at the Capitol Switchboard at 202-224-3121. Ask them to oppose any Budget Committee Amendment that would authorize $3 billion for CARA or Lands Legacy. What this will really mean is $45 billion over 15 years. 2. Ask your Senator if you can send him or her a fax. Get their current fax number and share it with your friends. 3. Resend this message to at least five other people. 4. Give a photocopy of this email to 5 other people who may not have email. If you call and fax your Senators you will win again!!! **If you would like to be removed from the Land Rights Network, simply reply to the message and type remove in the subject line.
