Lorie Kramer

The Free The Hammonds FB page has posted a call for support of recently introduced legislation that will “prevent prosecution of farmers and ranchers under terrorism statues for defensive fires and other agricultural practices. ” This bill has been introduced by Congressman Greg Walden of Oregon. 

Those following the story of the Hammonds, and the Bundys and other P3′s may recall Rep. Walden’s statements in Congress in defense of his constituents at the refuge back in January
