BURNS, Ore.-The Friends of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge and the Center
for Biological Diversity are sponsoring a rally on the Malheur National
Wildlife Refuge, Tuesday, January 18th to celebrate the importance of America's
visionary public lands system and highlight political and armed militia efforts
to take those lands away from the American people.
The rally will feature Candy Henderson, who though undergoing breast cancer
surgery several weeks ago and still undergoing intensive treatment, drove
several hundred miles to the Malheur when she learned of the Bundy militia's
takeover of our precious public land. She has been camping in small tent in the
rain, snow and freezing temperatures to show her commitment to keep our public
lands public for all Americans. She attends the Bundy militia's daily press
briefing to speak up the importance of public land and the extraordinary beauty
and wildlife of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge.
"I'll leave once the militia leaves," Henderson said, "they cannot keep
Americans from their public lands with the barrel of a gun."
"The Malheur is a national jewel," said Tim Blount, executive director of the
Friends of the Malheur, "it belongs to everyone and must stay part of America's
wonderful public lands heritage to be enjoyed by future generations."
Friends of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge was founded in 1999 to
conserve, enhance, and restore fish and wildlife habitat and cultural history
in the Harney Basin in southeast Oregon through the support of Malheur National
Wildlife Refuge staff and programs. It assists the Refuge in providing
wildlife-dependent educational and recreational opportunities while enhancing
public knowledge and appreciation of the Refuge mission. It also advocates for
support of the Refuge and the National Wildlife Refuge System. The Center for
Biological Diversity is a national, nonprofit conservation organization with
more than 900,000 members and online activists dedicated to the protection of
endangered species, wild places and public lands.
