Here is a link to find your legislators- Oregon State Legislature - Find Your Legislator
You don't have to fill in your complete address, I simply entered my zip and got the list.
Note that the first couple are FEDERAL, the last couple are STATE.
Zip 'em off an e-mail letting them know how you feel about this.
Originally posted by United States Court of Appeals, Eighth Circuit 1998 The ordinance's de facto ban on mining on federal land acts as a clear obstacle to the accomplishment of the Congressional purposes and objectives embodied in the Mining Act. Congress has encouraged exploration and mining of valuable mineral deposits located on federal land and has granted certain rights to those who discover such minerals. Federal law also encourages the economical extraction and use of these minerals. The Lawrence County ordinance completely frustrates the accomplishment of these federally encouraged activities. A local government cannot prohibit a lawful use of the sovereign's land that the superior sovereign itself permits and encourages. To do so offends both the Property Clause and the Supremacy Clause of the federal Constitution. The ordinance is prohibitory, not regulatory, in its fundamental character. The district court correctly ruled that the ordinance was preempted. https://bulk.resource.org/courts.gov/c/F3/155/155.F3d.1005.97-3861.html http://www.oregon.gov/OWRD/LAW/docs/Water_Vol_I_All_2009.pdf IN-STREAM WATER RIGHTS537.332 Definitions for ORS 537.332 to 537.360.

At some point in time, soon hopefully, we should nail the eco-whackos at their own game. Lawsuit after lawsuit after lawsuit!
With a million different regulations governing what people can and cannot do it's pretty much guaranteed we can sue them for something!
That would be GREAT Jeffro...but the problem with that is they...the evo-wackoos have an unending supply of money...most of it from US the taxpayers. Or gov, gives these idjets our money in the form of grants to sue our gov into getting what they want. Makes my head spin
There is only two ways to stop this maddness...1Stop giving our money to these idjets!
2 Stop the idjets...anyway we can
All I can say is that Politicization of our Public lands suck.
Very well written and presented...

1000% correct Hefty1.....now, if ALL the intended senators and represenatives here in Oregon will wake-up, read it and vote NO on this travesty of legislation, all of the miners in these United States will benefit in the long run......
