out Nevada, too. They have been helping us. Recommend that Gold Butte National
Monument be reduced in size, just to the old ghost town of Gold Butte, so that
grazing, mining, fishing, hunting and exploring the desert can continue to be
enjoyed by anyone who wants to buy a 4WD vehicle or ATV to get there. Sharon
Holmes wrote: “This Monument was a vindictive attack backed by former Senator
Harry Reid, on the Cliven Bundy family, as retribution for them standing up to
the BLM in 2004. . . Cattle have roamed this desert wilderness with the Bundy
brand, and the family has purchased and own the water rights for their
livestock for over 140 years. There are no historic Native American sites
or construction here; no burials, just an old ghost town where people once made
a hard rock living. The annual cost for maintaining a limited presence at the
Gold Butte townsite is a lot less than managing over 300,000 acres of desert.” When you write regarding Gold Butte upload
