Interior Secretary Sally Jewell says she will recommend that President Obama act alone if necessary to create new national monuments and sidestep a gridlocked Congress that has failed to address dozens of public lands bills. Jewell said the logjam on Capitol Hill has created a conservation backlog, and she warned that the Obama administration would not "hold its breath forever" waiting for lawmakers to act. "The president will not hesitate," Jewell said in an interview in San Francisco last week. "I can tell you that there are places that are ripe for setting aside, with a tremendous groundswell of public support." Congress has not added any acreage to the national park or wilderness systems since 2010. Jewell blamed ramped-up rhetoric in Washington for the impasse. She said the appetite for preserving American historic and cultural sites remains high but some officials seek to avoid the appearance of publicly embracing more government protection. Jewell, who has been on the job scarcely six months, came to California to promote several intiatives and tour a site that could be added to a national monument along the Mendocino coast. She began with a meet and greet at the Golden Gate National Recreation Area. On a bright day with gulls wheeling against a backdrop of the Golden Gate Bridge the velvety green Marin headlands in the distance Jewell stood in one of the nation's most-visited national parks and made the case for the value of public lands. Among the public events on Jewell's schedule was a visit to the 1,255-acre Stornetta Public Lands site on the Mendocino County coast, north of Point Arena. Several members of the California congressional delegation have proposed adding the site to the California Coastal National Monument.

Howzabout we set aside a swath of land ... ohhh ... I don't know ... 1/4 mile wide ... and about a thousand miles long ... and we could build a monument to commemorate those men and women that helped build America to the superpower she was. And the monument could be in the form of ... ohhh ... I don't know ... maybe ... a pipe ... like a huge culvert or something ... and have it run from north to south symbolizing all of the country was part of this progress.
Hey !
There's anothere idea ....
We could call it The Progressive Monument to American Geo-Mechanical memorial Pipe.
I'm sort'a thinkin' we could start up near Michigan somewhere and bring it all the way down to the Gulf coast.i
No.
That is one butt ugly guy.
The Feral Gov’t should be turning over large swaths of the National Provocation Service Parks and National Forest Lands to the respective States.
This will allow him to set a precedent to get federal monies to build statues, monuments and the like in his name and likeness because he KNOWS, Congress would never authorize anything with his face or name on it.
It’s Pat!
Probably.
Ugly man with earrings.
or a 32 ounce soda...
I read an article to this effect recently. They have spent so much money acquiring new properties that they are unable to maintain what they have. Absolutely ridiculous.
And I thought Salazar was a leftist jackass.
She looks constipated......which would explain a lot.
They probably already have sold public lands. To China. Or used it as debt collateral.
Then again, this fits nicely with AGENDA 21. Take it over as federal land, then declare it off-limits to the people.
Gotta take ‘em over so the can shut ‘em down.
A little secret: They don’t have the resources or ability to keep the people off the federal lands. When the Park Goons get too goofy, waving guns around, ect, the locals get irate; the Park Cops get fired & removed before they get escorted outta the community by state police protection. This has happened before.
This “woman” is hideous inside and out. Aside from my Gaydar pegging, I believe she is anti-Freedom. Justice will find her.
