Ramona Hage Morrison |
Ramona Hage Morrison (NV) is
the oldest daughter of Wayne and Jean Hage. She grew up on ranches
in northern California and central Nevada and has been intimately
involved with her family's 22-year-old constitutional Fifth
Amendment "takings" case, Hage v. U.S., pending before the U.S.
Supreme Court. She was also directly involved with the trial in a
separate but related case U.S. v. Hage, involving the issue of
whether or not a forage right is appurtenant to a stock water right.
The Hage's have prevailed in both cases.
Mrs. Morrison has worked for
more than 20 years in the public policy arena on property rights and
land use matters. Upon graduating from the University of Nevada,
Reno in 1987 with a degree in History and Economics, Mrs. Morrison
served on the staff of Congressman Charles Pashayan (R-CA) in
Washington D.C., focusing on California water and agriculture
issues. Subsequently, she served as a lobbyist for the American Land
Rights Association in its Sonoma, California and Washington, D.C.
offices. After returning to Nevada in 1990, she spent five years
working for the Nevada Mining Association representing the third
largest gold mining industry in the world.
Mrs. Morrison was a founding
officer of the Nevada Livestock Association, and served with the
late Congressman Helen Chenoweth-Hage (Ret. R-ID), who chaired the
organization, to lead a successful campaign to stop unlawful
confiscations of livestock by the Bureau of Land Management. Mrs.
Morrison has worked as a consultant for a number of ranchers in
California, Wyoming, Arizona, Nevada and New Mexico to develop their
exhaustive chain of title as evidence of property and water
ownership on western rangeland ranches. As a result of the testimony
she provided in the 2012 U.S. v. Hage forage right trial in Nevada
Federal District Court, she has attained expert witness status in
title matters involving the unique property features of western
ranches including forage rights, stockwater and irrigation rights,
improvements, rights of ways and easements. She teaches seminars to
property owners on the subject as well.
Ramona was appointed by former
Nevada Governor Jim Gibbons to serve on the Nevada Board of
Agriculture--a position she still holds. Mrs. Morrison is presently
Executive Director of the Liberty and Property Rights Coalition. |

Storm over Rangelands: Private Rights in Federal Lands
This is one of
the most important books of our day. Not well known, but it
should be; if most of us were not so apathetic. This is
written by a recently deceased Rancher from Nevada, Wayne
Hage, who fought the Centralized Powers (D.C.), who were not
originally intended to have the power we've allowed. He
fought them along with his Sheriff's office & through the
courts after they started trying to steal his water rights &
his cattle. He eventually won his case for several million
dollars, I believe the decision came down after he passed
away. It has been a while since I researched this issue but
I believe one of the reasons Mr Hage was so maliciously
targeted by the BLM etc. is because of his publishing of
this book on the history of land law & water rights going
clear back to early colonial history. You see, no land in
any of the states was ever ceded or titled to the D.C.
Government by the original founders,(which Mr. Hage supports
in his book). The Constitutionally authorized government of
that time was only given authority to sell the lands into
private hands, and they were delegated and mandated by the
original 13 colonies to sell all of it. Now with a usurped
power in their hands (an authority that is not their's) they
therefore were allowed to assume power over time as if they
owned these vast tracts. As a result of this incrementalist
assumption of usurped power, they are encroaching even
further on the private party's property and rights as well.
This is a book that helps give a lot of background for
questions we need answers to this very day; such as why we
have such a problem with eminent domain and the inability to
make improvements on our property without so much hassle,
etc. This is not so much a book about an isolated land
fight, as it is about Freedom. If you read it, you should
see that any government, anywhere, increasing in size and
power, is eventually used to enslave everyone. So, Mr.
Hage's fight is our fight as well, whether we recognize it
or not. That same fight will be brought eventually to all
people if they don't become informed and fight that tyranny,
no matter what form it arrives in. United we stand, divided
we fall.. |

Wane Hage is Ramona Hage Morrison's father |
