No Mimbres Monument

National monuments bring many unintended consequences that actually hurt the very things they are trying to protect. With the additional restrictions and red tape that come with a designation, proper management is not allowed and the end result is disastrous.

Who is No Mimbres Monument? Watch to find out!

It's a shame there are people out there that are as misinformed as the UC Berkeley graduate student mentioned in the post. Sadly, Mimbres Peaks National Monument proponents are just as misinformed and choose to ignore this type of information.

A UC Berkeley graduate student made quite the splash on social media this week. Jackson Kernion, a philosophy instructor, took to twitter to bash "rural Americans".

"I unironically(sic) embrace the bashing of rural Americans," Kernion wrote in a now-deleted tweet. "They, as a group, are bad people who have made bad life decisions...and we should shame people who aren't pro-city."

All we can type is 'LOL'. Mr. Kernion, you may not know, but the rural Americans that you are tweeting about are the lifeblood of this country; especially our ranchers. We feed a hungry world. We provide a the raw materials needed to craft many of the items you use in your daily life. Our livestock actively assist in the sequestration of carbon (much of which is emitted by a city like yours).

The tweet has since been deleted. It makes us wonder, did someone tell Mr. Kernion about the benefits that come from rural Americans?

Brush up on your facts about the benefits that rural Americans offer through grazing!

‼️REAL FACTS‼️
Public land grazing provides $20.15/acre towards ecosystems whether through habitat maintenance, biodiversity, recreation and even tourism. This equates to well over $200 million dollars annually in New Mexico.

Another quick fact, for every pound of beef raised, consumers get $0.19 in ecosystem related services from public land grazing.

A Mimbres Peaks National Monument threatens this contribution. Visit nomimbresmonument.org to sign the petition to help stop this monumental disaster from being forced on a county that doesn't want it!

It would cost you the taxpayer almost $400 million for the government to manage public lands in New Mexico alone. This is a service provided by public land ranchers that they do not receive compensation nor credit for. Monument proponents do not acknowledge nor take this factor into account. Visit nomimbresmonument.org to sign the petition against the proposal and for more information!

‼️Fact Friday‼️

Mimbres Peaks National Monument proponents often reference the Organ Mountains-Desert Peaks National Monument when it comes to pushing this proposal. What a great example of what we DON'T want to happen in Luna County.

Take the Las Cruces Four Wheel Drive Club for example. They are no longer able to hold their annual Chile Challenge event in Doña Ana County because of restrictions that came with the national monument. They recognize the importance of managing the land as it is today, rather than the off limits, preservation style approach that comes with national monuments. That's why they have generously donated to help push back against this disastrous proposal.

Luna County rancher Russell Johnson updates Sierra County Farm & Livestock Bureau members on challenges facing cattlemen along the US/MX border, including the proposed Mimbres National Monument.
The proposed monument is only 3 miles from the Mexican border and would create a corridor that could limit access. The proposal is not just a ranching concern—-it’s a national security concern! Championed by a lone, out of touch radical Luna Co Commissioner, the proposal seeks the Presidential approval of Biden.

Extreme environmental groups are using national monuments as a tool to remove cattle and ranching from the landscape, but at what cost? If they truly cared for wildlife, they would realize how much wildlife relies on ranchers to exist in Luna County.

We have been accused of fear mongering, yet here is proof of the intentions. "...a court order to consider reduced grazing in future allotment lease renewals.” - BLM Las Cruces District Manager Scott Cooke.

Environmental groups have clearly targeted ranching. All other activities and uses will be next. Sign the petition today to oppose the Mimbres Peaks National Monument proposal!

The Bureau of Land Management is issuing a proposed plan for the management and protection of the Organ Mountains-Desert Peaks National Monument in southern New Mexico.

Yet more examples of land designations causing more harm to the natural and cultural resources. One of the many reasons we must not let outside organizations designate our land into a national monument.

Some visitors at national parks have acted unruly and disobeyed rules that have has negative consequences on the ecosystem and wildlife, according to reports.
