End of the Tuscarora Roundup

The Desert Independent

Opinion of The Desert Independent By ROBERT WINKLER The Desert Independent August 8, 2010 RENO, Nevada – The Tuscarora Roundup, according to the Cloud Foundation, characterizes the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) as a rogue government agency that has continued to tread on First Amendment Rights of American citizens while they destroy a beloved icon of the West. Their leader, Secretary Ken Salazar head of Department of the Interior, has totally locked down the whole area for the purpose of to dissuade the press and observers from covering the roundup. “We can only imagine the dirty work the BLM did not want us to see," says Laura Leigh, Herd Watch Director for The Cloud Foundation. Apparently, Ken Salazar and the Department of the Interior believe they are above the law. Apparently President Obama has too much else on his mind to worry about the man who mangled the Gulf Oil Spill and is now in the process of killing off our wild horses. It is absolutely unacceptable that our government can operate in such a cloak and dagger manner with a resource so important to the American people. As Americans, we have good memories for bad acts from public figures. This kind of secretive action cannot be allowed to happen again.
