Introduce Legislation to Return the Publics Right to Utilize Public Lands for the Purposes that they were Originally Intended.
This Legislation should include ALL State and Federal Legislatures and Agencies, and must stop the ability to enact Regulations, or Laws that will diminish the public's ability to utilize the Public Lands for the purposes they were originally established for.
Various Agencies of the U.S. Government such as the USDA Forestry Service, State & Federal Enironmental Protection Agencies, State Departments of Fish & Game, State and Federal Water Quality Management Agencies, to name a few, are overstepping their authority and/or trying to introduce new regulations that would expand their authority over many activities on Public Lands.
Thomas Jefferson said it best:
"All, too, will bear in mind this sacred principle, that though the will of the majority is in all cases to prevail, that will to be rightful must be reasonable; that the minority possess their equal rights, which equal law must protect, and to violate would be oppression."
"Experience hath shewn, that even under the best forms of government those entrusted with power have, in time, and by slow operations, perverted it into tyranny."
"My reading of history convinces me that most bad government results from too much government."
"Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add 'within the limits of the law' because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual."
"The republican is the only form of government which is not eternally at open or secret war with the rights of mankind"
"When the people fear the government, there is tyranny. When the government fears the people, there is liberty."
and finally:
"We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness."
Also, as Henry David Thoreau said:
"That government is best which governs least."
