 “The
New Wars for the West” - Keynote Address by William
Perry Pendley, Esq., President and Chief Legal Officer, Mountain
States Legal Foundation, Lakewood, Colorado; Eleventh Annual
National Conference on Private Property Rights (PRFA, Albany,
N.Y., October 13, 2007)
Perry Pendley successfully defended John Shuller against the
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service when, in self-defense, he shot
a grizzly bear. He won the case for Larry Squires, who wanted
to allow disposal of oil field brine in dry sink holes on his
property. Mountain States Legal Foundation is fighting for inholder
access to their property blocked by the U.S. Forest Service.
Pendley has argued successfully three times before the U.S. Supreme
Court on the right of contract regardless of race or ethnicity,
against what is called “affirmative action.”

 “New
Wave of UNESCO World Heritage Sites Proposed” - By Carol
W. LaGrasse (PRFA Position Brief, June 2007)
This spring, the National Park Service announced that 36 locations
in the United States have been proposed for UNESCO World Heritage
Sites, adding to the twenty that already are designated in this
country. Such international recognition potentially threatens
private property rights because preservationists could exploit
the designation to stop the use of land in the region just beyond
a site’s borders.

- “Horse Tale”
—By Kit Shy (Reprinted by permission, 2001)
The rancher’s story, “Hoss Tale,”
by surveyor Kit Shy of Westcliffe, Colorado, uses allegory to
show how the bundle of rights attached to private property will
be desiccated under conservation easements. You don’t
know whether to laugh or cry.
