Passed on without comment:
Supporters of Sen. Larry Craig with the American Land Rights Association are calling for a boycott of the Minneapolis-Saint Paul Airport.
The Battle Ground (Washington) based association says airport police who arrested the senator in a men’s room sex sting are responsible for weakening private property rights in the West. Craig is a Republican member of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee.
Late Update: More on the boycott from the website of the American Land Rights Association (.pdf):
By ambushing Senator Larry Craig, the Minneapolis St Paul Airport
Police have effectively declared war on the West. They are primarily
responsible for greatly weakening private property rights and Federal
land use advocates in the Senate Energy and Natural Resources
Committee and in Congress.We are urging you to make all your flight arrangements avoiding the
Minneapolis-St Paul Airport for at least the next year and probably
longer. Weâll keep you posted as the boycott develops.Urge your friends, neighbors and fellow workers to try to avoid any
flights that take them through Minneapolis St Paul Airport.We must inflict economic pain on the airport authorities to get them to
change their behavior.—–And they must apologize to Senator Larry Craig.
