If you cared to do any sort of fact finding instead of attempting to demonize ALL Tea Party members, you would find that you are talking about a bill put forth by Rep. Jason Chaffetz, which outlined selling off land that was identified for disposal in 1997, by the Dept. of the Interior.
McCain and Mike Lee are also thinking of putting forth such a bill.

According to a 1997 Interior Department report, there are 3.3 million acres of land available to be sold to to non-federal entities. Chaffetz bill, HR 1126, the Disposal of Excess Federal Lands Act, would allow for the sale of this land, which amounts to less than 1 percent of all federal land.

“It’s been more than a decade since the land was deemed suitable for disposal and there is no critical need for the federal government to hold on to it,” said Lee. “The sale of the land alone could generate more than a $1 billion, and then there is the economic benefit of putting the land to good use. That could mean jobs, future growth, and better prosperity for the surrounding areas. It’s good for the state of Utah and I am happy to work with Representative Chaffetz in supporting the move.”
