Cruz promises to sell or give away Nevada's public land

Think Progress - In a new TV ad Ted Cruz (R-TX) vows to sell-off or give away [Nevada's] national parks, national forests, national monuments, and other public lands. “If you trust me with your vote,” says Cruz in the ad, “I will fight day and night to return full control of Nevada’s lands to its rightful owners, its citizens.”

Anonymous said...: If he's true to his word, then this will certainly be quite the windfall for the Paiutes. After all, a good portion of what Teddy wants to give away ought still belong to them had the United States held true to its treaty obligations. What's the count on that to date, something like out of 432 agreements signed the US has reneged on 432.; February 19, 2016 at 8:15 PM
