We seek redress of grievances as authorized by the First Amendment to the United States Constitution. Our grievances are: * Our public lands rightfully belong to the Counties of Oregon,     * we deserve, indeed are Constitutionally guaranteed, the same rights and privileges afforded other States, and     * Federal trusteeship over those lands has failed catastrophically, damaging our environment, our economy, and our social integrity. The redress we seek is transfer of title and jurisdiction of Federal lands to the Counties in which those lands lie.
