American Land Rights Association : ウィキペディア英語版 | American Land Rights Association The American Land Rights Association (ALRA) is a Wise Use organization based in Battle Ground, Washington. The group describes itself as "dedicated to the wise-use of our resources, access to our Federal lands and the protection of our private property rights."〔 ==History== The organization was founded in 1978 by property owners in the community of Wawona, California,〔Cushman, Chuck. ("Yosemite Alert." ) ALRA Action Alerts. 2003-03-31. Retrieved 2010-01-08.〕 located within Yosemite National Park.〔("The Redwoods" ) (vacation-home rental website). Retrieved 2010-01-08.〕 It was initially named the National Park Inholders Association; it describes its mission at that time as "to protect private property landowners from unwanted acquisition by the National Park Service".〔("ALRA Mission and History". ) ALRA website. Retrieved 2010-01-08.〕 The group changed its name to the National Inholders Association (NIA) in 1980. In 1985, it added a number of grazing permittees on federal land to its membership roll. In the early 1990s, it championed the cause of mining claimholders. In 1995, the organization was renamed the American Land Rights Association (ALRA).〔 ALRA and other Wise Use organizations were most politically active in the 1990s fighting land use restrictions by the Clinton administration. With Republicans in control in Congress and the White House in the 2000s, ALRA had more friends in Washington; this allowed them to exercise some power over the administration's appointments. A notable case was that of John Turner, a friend of vice-president Dick Cheney,〔Mcallister, Bill. ("Interior politics take odd twist over top posts". ) ''Denver Post''. 2001-02-04. Retrieved 2010-01-08.〕 who was under consideration for the #2 position in the Department of the Interior.〔Seelye, Katharine G.("Bush Is Choosing Industry Insiders to Fill Several Environmental Positions". ) ''New York Times''. 2001-05-12. Retrieved 2010-01-08.〕 ALRA and other property-rights organizations opposed Turner's appointment because of his position as president of the Conservation Fund, which an ALRA release asserted was "dedicated to threatening, dividing and isolating land owners and small towns".〔Eckles, Susan. ( "Interior Department: the Good, Bad, and Very Ugly". ) American Land Rights Association: Land Rights Network. Quoted in full at (off-road.com. ) 2005-12-01. Retrieved 2010-01-08.〕 President George W. Bush chose not to appoint Turner, instead selecting mining-industry lobbyist J. Steven Griles.〔
