Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy’s son Ryan says he will run as an independent candidate for Nevada governor in this year’s election.
Ryan Bundy, 45, said he will run on a states’ rights platform and plans to file for the race on Wednesday.
“I want to make sure that Nevada is not just seen as a subdivision of the United States but a sovereign state,” he said. “The ownership and control of the land within the state of Nevada will be a big part of my campaign.”
Bundy, along with his father, Cliven Bundy, 71, and brother Ammon Bundy, 42, were freed from jail Jan. 8 after nearly two years in federal custody over an April 2014 armed standoff with federal authorities near the family ranch in Bunkerville. A judge, citing prosecutorial misconduct, dropped the charges.
In a separate case, a jury acquitted the Bundys in federal court on charges related to the takeover of a federal wildlife refuge in Oregon in 2016.
Ryan Bundy said he plans to conduct rallies across the state, and Cliven Bundy said he might join his son on the campaign trail.
Ryan Bundy is the first member of his family to run for a statewide office in Nevada. His mother, Carol Bundy, ran unsuccessfully for justice of the peace in Bunkerville Township.
Ryan Bundy said he is running because state officials are not doing enough to protect Nevada’s sovereignty, not for “power, prestige or position.”
Cliven Bundy said his son is “a good man that wants to make a difference for our state.”
“He wants to serve the people,” Cliven Bundy said. “I think the public is going to like him, and he’s going to be great for Nevada.”
Poster Comment:
Ryan Bundy has been found innocent by a jury of his peers, unlike Republicans and Democrats.

So there CAN still be justice in a nation of laws that USED TO BE "Constitution-based"?

One of the main issues that Ryan Bundy is campaigning on is returning land that the feds have stolen, to the People & State of Nevada.
Make Nevada Great Again! Take back the stolen lands.

Who can't back Bundy's crusade(s)??
I hope he wins. And at the least, I hope the issue gets the attention of many. Like Ross Perot, Bundy ought to use that graph you've posted to show everyone to what extent We The People are being ripped off. I hope Agenda 21 become the focus during his campaign. OR ANY CAMPAIGN.
Think the American public might be disturbed by the truth?
The RED areas = VASTLY RESTRICTED. Roped off. Ostensibly occupied (without the consent of The People.) *ALASKA is NOT to scale: 61% of 663,000 sq = 350,000+ sq mi .)
WHY have the Ferals confiscated so much of America's own land? "Preservation" and "Wildlife"? Naah. Why confiscate most of the land west of the Mississippi?; Hundreds of thousands of square miles of valuable "Land of the Free" that exceeds the area of the the vast number of nations on the planet?
Q: Would our so-called leaders" (many who are SOCIALIST and/or HATE America) promise it as "gifts" to OTHER "needy" nations?
Use it collateral or PAYMENT to say...CHINA? (maybe it's already been done.)
Some say it's ONE more way for our whoring globalist politicians to seal off and set aside land for their overlord-elites for nefarious use.
Others say it gives the UN/World's Elites/Globalists/China access to pilfer all water and mineral resources they want. OR perhaps allows these "landlords" to designate the land as an "American Siberia" for "undesirables. Much of it is coincidentally as harsh as Siberia.

Amen!
And when is someone going to explain the Truth about Agenda 21 and the intention of US Feral Gummint to turn the USA into a vassal state for the UN?
