But ignoring all the developments since 1993, a critical issue still remains. The United States government we the people gave 1870′s settlers a promise of an open range for cattle if they would homestead and ranch on the land recently annexed from Mexico. The Bundy Family answered the call and have honored their part of the contract ever since.
In 1993 the Clinton administration unilaterally decided to completely rewrite the original promise conditions and, like so many treaties the U.S. has signed with so many, we simply threw the original promises in the trash and told the Bundy family to take it or leave it! In this case one and only one rancher, Bundy, told the government he was holding the government to its word. http://www.greeleygazette.com/press/?p=23892
