Declaring national monuments to benefit donors is an abuse

In 1996, Bill Clinton removed the largest deposit of the cleanest burning coal from the world's market by declaring the Grand Staircase-Escalante a national monument in Utah.

However, there was one winner: Democratic donor and Indonesian billionaire James Riady, who owns the second-largest deposit of similar clean coal. The same James Riady pled guilty to a felony charge and paid $8.6 million in criminal fines for making millions of dollars of illegal campaign donations to the Clinton-Gore ticket. But Clinton-Gore had the money to spend when it counted.

If I were the U.S. senator from New Hampshire, I would vote to repeal Clinton's abuse of the 1906 Antiquities Act. I would cheer free Americans making voluntary choices about extensive use of solar, wind, biodiesel and energy-saving improvements, but I would fight against corrupt bureaucrats and politicians trying to force their personal preferences upon us.
