http://www.newswithviews.com/NWV-News/news287.htmAnyone who wants to protect our rights for public use of National Forests should read the linked article written by County Sheriffs in the Northwest.
Very interesting article how the National Forest rules become laws without congress approval.
Also mentions that the National Forest Service was not originally established as law enforcement agency. Law enforcement, as set by Congress, was the individual States responsibility with the Sheriff Dept. being the lead agency. This jurisdiction includes BLM land, national and state forests.
With the support of special interest groups the federal government has over taken the Sheriffs department constitutional designated roll of law enforcement on county lands. A National Police Force if you will.....
Remember we elect our Sheriff's. They have grassroots feedback on what best supports the wishes of the County residents.
