R-project Review Methods a Failure

 

Amendment I (1791)

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Congress cannot enforce a law limiting free speech.

Yet the FWS can issue an edict limiting free speech at public meetings.

Even Congressional hearings allow five minutes.

So the FWS has infringed on the right of free public speech. And the right of people to hear and thus know a five minute presentation by other citizens and neighbors. So anyone that spoke at a meeting apparently had their right of free speech violated by an over-bearing public agency, controlled by the U.S. government, and thus Congress.

The FWS has also infringed on the right for people to peacefully gather by having only two r-project public meetings.

The FWS management has stifled free speech in at least ways:

1) agency staff were not allowed to answer questions at the public hearings.

2) agency staff contact regarding the r-project would not respond in a written manner to any inquires so that any written would not exist, and also thwart any potential Freedom of Information Act request.

The FWS have violated the constitutional rights of citizens.

Their whole process is thereby flawed...

Birding Atop the Sand Hilltops

Image
James E. Ducey. July 29, 2007. Originally issued on Wildbirds Broadcasting. With several photographs. Along the dim trails among the sea of grass-covered dunes in the Nebraska sandhills, a sporadic route in recent years has varied in pursuit of a higher view. During particular days, the trucking was to the known, peak elevations to the sights and to experience the night. The first stop for upclose watching was at Baldy Hill on May 18, 1995. Baldy Hill, in northeast Arthur County near Swan Lake, is the government name. The ranch on the northeast slope has its own variation on the same theme, showing Bally Hill on the resident's sign. The route, following a brief stop at the ranching place, went on up and parked on the north-side slope, with walking needed to get to the utter top. It is a sunny, nice setting, with the lee side of a blowout a fine spot out of the wind to view the day away. In the next month - mid-June 1995 - the start to Wild Horse Hill was a parking place east of the...

Management Options Being Considered for Seier NWR

This small refuge is located south of Bassett along Highway 183, and then west aside 854th Road, which is also know as Duff Road. The Duff Cemetery is nearby ⁹there.  This proposal is very weak as it does not indicate the location nor how many acres. What is especially disturbing how the legacy of John and Louise Seier is not mentioned. Hiring a consultant to prepare a potential management document is not an excuse. Especially when the hired sadly fail. https://www.fws.gov/refuge/john-w-and-louise-seier/news Comments can be made through the end of March 2024.
