“I’ve been fighting for private water rights for two years now in the Legislature and it’s so important that we continue to protect those private property rights,’ Rep. Boebert said. ‘And that’s exactly what this does. This bill would designate this section of the Dolores River in question as an NCA and eliminate it from the wild (and) scenic river designation that it is currently a candidate for, permanently preserving the river and protecting these private property and water rights….Dolores County Commissioner Floyd Cook said H.R. 8601 is ‘one of the best things we could do for our Dolores River Corridor, protection of water rights (and) grazing rights, we’re protecting the small miners’ rights. It’s just a wonderful thing.’…Lyndreth Wall, Mountain Ute Tribe Councilman said hunting rights and the right to firearms are also important to the tribe, and he looks forward to continue networking and working with neighboring communities to protect his Colorado home.”

It provides assistance to federal, state, local, and tribal law enforcement agencies operating in areas determined to be critical drug-trafficking regions of the United States. Boebert will inform the drug task force of her work to combat the flow of fentanyl with her legislation to give law enforcement more resources by designating it as a weapon of mass destruction.”

While this administration chooses to prioritize the USCG’s new focus on diversity, equity, and inclusion, it is also denying servicemembers their most fundamental First Amendment right: the free exercise of religious belief.”

“We don’t need new spending or subsidies to secure American energy independence. We need the right policies. We need the Trump administration’s policies. Unleashing American energy will decrease gas prices, decrease the unemployment rate, reduce inflation, and protect our national security interests. I introduced the Fueling American Prosperity Act and the Protecting American Energy Jobs Act to nullify and defund Biden’s energy-killing executive orders, restart energy leasing, and get America back on track to energy dominance. It is time to drill, baby, drill!”
