EQUAL STANDING - FOR WHO?

Rants against President Trump, respective of his passion to protect Americans, saddens me. 
Why? Because I offered a draft bill to our General Assembly that simply asks that Property Owners on government land have Equal Standing to government employees. 
It's been tabled. Why? "It's too complicated," they tell me.
I'm only a H.S. grad/homemaker/farmgirl. But I understand it clearly.
So when people demand equal rights for illegal immigrants, while I fail to make headway for equal rights for U.S. Citizens, yes. I get just a little steamed up.
You want to talk about detained?
Then talk to Chuck Sylvester, and how government refuses to "justly compensate" him for housing excess feral horses. Government "detainment" has accrued to over a million dollars.
You want to talk about detained?
Then talk to the farmers in Klamath Falls area, and how government refuses to "justly compensate" them for its "water takings."
You want to talk about detained?
Then talk to your local farmers, and how government takes their water and doesn't "justly compensate." They're being detained from growing crops, and therefore detained in earning a living. Government adds more injury to the farmers by "flooding them out."
You want to about detained?
Then talk to Carol Bundy, and how her loved ones are being detained; without due process.
You want to talk about detained?
Then talk to the Hammond family, and how their livelihoods and very lives are being detained, for "not committing a crime."
You want to talk about detained?
Then talk to Jeanette Finicum, and the way her husband was permanently "detained," for trying to drive from one place to another...within the U.S.
There are hundreds of examples of U.S. Citizens being "detained" their rights to "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." I offered you some of the many I know "personally" who've been "detained."
 How about protecting the rights of U.S. Citizens first. Then if you have any time left over to whine, then whine.
