"Riverton, Wyoming is now part of the Wind River Indian Reservation according to a government agency in what is an extraordinary breach of authority. It was not decided by courts, by the state or by Congress but rather by Barack Obama and his unelected, bureaucrats in the EPA in 2013."Independent Sentinel "Imagine one day waking up to find your home in your quaint American town is no longer yours and the town is no longer in the United States because the EPA has declared it so, despite a more than 100-year old law.
"In an act of utter lawlessness, the EPA seized the entire town of Riverton, Wyoming (pop. 10,990) and two other towns, Kinnear (pop.219) and Pavillion (pop. 236) from their combined 11,000 inhabitants and turned them over to the Wind River reservation. It started over air quality control.
"The EPA is doing this at the same time, they are stealing land and water rights from cowboys and ranchers who have held their deeds since the Louisiana Purchase.
"This shifts jurisdiction for inspections, policing, taxing and other services as well as land rights to Indian tribes."

"The residents of Riverton are no longer living in the United States and will likely have their land taken from them by the Indians since the Indians now control the deeds. The residents of Riverton will lose many of their rights as citizens if they stay on the newly-formed extension of the reservation. They can leave their land behind or fight." . . .
"If we lose the Supreme Court to the left [Obama will recommend four of his donors for the position], how do you think this case will go?"
Now we know leftist activists will remind us how white men who lived in the 19th century stole the land from Indians in the 1800's. If the people of Riverton are to suffer the penalty for what their ancestors did, then today's Democrat Party should be made to atone for the things previous Democrats did through the KKK.
