 U> PROPERTY RIGHTS EMERGING AS MAJOR CAMPAIGN ISSUE
 U> NEW INDEX RATES CONGRESS 

 U> "There are a wide variety of reasons why these incumbents are
 U> fighting for their political lives,"  League of Private Property
 U> Voters chairman Chuck Cushman said.  

 U> "All over the country, property rights is emerging as a major
 U> issue.  Incumbents with poor voting records on property rights face
 U> defeat in November," Cushman said. 

   In fact, the Property Rights whackos hold views similar to 
   Right Wing Libertarian extremists who privately (and not so privately)
   would have us abolish our National Parks and Forests.  And whenever
   a choice between nature and convenience is made, to side with
   human convenience at all costs.  "Wise Use" is primarily known 
   for it's extreme anti-environmental posturing and slick propaganda.

   In fact, if we look at at what they are are proposing, we can see
   that "private property rights" are NOT their major concern.  One
   would be hard pressed to say that give-aways of public land to
   mining interests or rancher-welfare grazing "rights" or wanting 
   more money for roads in our National Forests (timber-welfare) has 
   much to do with the "Private property takings" scare tactics they 
   push in their slick propaganda to the little people they use.

   What do they really want??  I don't know, if you can figure it out,
   let me know.  I would guess hyper-capitalism and who-cares-if-
   it-trickles-down economics.  That is; business supported on the
   backs of the middle class.  They seem infuriated that we own any
   land via our public property rights (National Parks etc), and they 
   want to weaken our rights by giving them to the Big Boys with Money.  

   If they want to take away My rights in MY National Forest, they
   had better come with guns, and lots of them.

 U> The Private Property Congressional Vote Index for the 103rd 
 U> Congress tabulated fourteen key roll call votes in the House of 
 U> Representatives and ten in the Senate.  Issues covered include the 
 U> National Biological Survey, [...and]  designating over nine 
 U> million acres of new Wilderness Areas in California and Montana, 
 U> and other Federal land use
