Walden Calls For Militia Group To Step Down

Oregon Second District Congressman Greg Walden is calling on the armed militia that has taken over a building at a federal wildlife refuge near Burns to step down.  Walden’s district includes Harney County.  Speaking with other House Republicans today, Walden says the issue the group raises about more than 70 percent of the county being federal land is an important one, and there is a problem in the West that must be addressed responsibly, but “an armed takeover is not the way to go about it.”  Oregon’s Second Congressional District covers two-thirds of the state…with just under 700,000 residents, more than one-third of whom live in rural areas.  It’s the seventh largest congressional district in the nation.
