God's Country: For Sale:
Texans have a special attachment to our land. From the Big Bend to Sabine Pass, we are justly proud of our mountains and rolling hill country, our winding rivers, our clean lakes, bays, and estuaries. As Texans, we are proud of our public land and protective of the private property we've worked so hard to own.
Why, then, is Rick Perry so keen on selling off our public land to individuals and foreign companies? Rick Perry is so proud of Texas he is selling it.
Recently, Texas Parks & Wildlife warned that budget cutbacks ordered by Perry might require the sale or closure of 18 state parks. Also, Parks & Wildlife transferred 12,000 acres of the Black Gap Wildlife Area in Big Bend to the General Land Office so it can be sold.
Please watch the film and then ask
Governor Rick Perry and
Jerry Paterson at the General Land Office to preserve Texas. This is just one event in a long line of
outrageous actions by our government to sell off our public lands and national parks. Please, do not let them sell our heritage and our public lands. Take action today!
