8 Northern California Sheriffs Form Coalition Against Tyranny

I'm sure my definition of tyranny is quite a bit different than these sheriffs version. I'm pretty sure all these sheriffs happily sh_t on the Constitution to enhance their own power. Hey cop where in the Constitution does it say my life liberty or property can be infringed because I grow a plant?

Sheriff Dean Wilson is one of my neighbors. Del Norte and the surrounding area is very libertarian, and the politics here are very different than either the Bay Area or southern California...

In response to the overreaching efforts of the federal government, Agenda 21 has been dealt a major blow in Northern California, Southern Oregon, and Western Nevada by the formation of the Jefferson Mining District.

Being the Law and Needs of Mineral Estate Grantees are not feasibly accommodated by any other Establishment over the geographic area sought to be served, in pursuance to a call made August of the year 2011, miners from far and wide held a miners congress at Pottsville, Oregon, on September 2, 2011

first thing up says bad people are coming into the state and doing illegal things.

his solution? get more money from the federal government to get those bad people.

ok. good luck with getting the money. here's an idea. how about you NEVER SEND the money to DC, so that you don't have to freaken ask for it back? it's like this damn fool doesn't understand 15 TRILLION IN THE HOLE YOU DAMN MORON.

next thing up, is a passing comment about those damn medical marijuana abusers. but he didn't get very specific. if you were stupid, you might not even know what he was talking about he was so oblique about it.

then the rest of it was just a bunch of blah blah blah.

Are they going to protect Californians' right to dispense medicinal marijuana? Will they fight off DEA brigades & SWAT Teams?

I just wish someone would help those people in Antelope Vally near LA. I have been thinking about them ever since I heard of it, and feeling bad for them.

Going to e-mail my sheriff to see if he'll join.

is the same lawyer that I hired for a property rights problem with the county planner we had in Wyoming. She was good, and ended the problem. She is great, be sure you listen to her video. Karen Bud-falen

Yreka, Calif. — About 700 people attended a meeting at the Siskiyou Golden Fairgrounds on Saturday sponsored by the activism group Defend Rural America, founded by Idaho native Kirk MacKenzie.
The meeting consisted of a film, a fundraising auction and discussions with a panel of eight sheriffs from Northern California and Southern Oregon.
A charter bus brought more than 40 people from the Bay Area and around 250 people from other areas outside of Siskiyou County, according to Liz Bowen of Scott Valley Protect Our Waters (POW), who co-organized the event.

More than 10 political action groups were in attendance, distributing information about candidates, ballot initiatives and issue-specific campaigns.
The event got underway with the premier of a documentary film by MacKenzie about the Klamath dam removal issue and how it relates to the current status of rural communities in Siskiyou County and around the country.
The film presented a wide array of concerns about the federal government’s role in land management and its impacts on rural economies and communities.
Many Siskiyou County residents were featured in the film, speaking about potential effects of dam removal and wider-ranging topics such as the influence of the United Nations and environmental groups on rural communities.
After the film and the auction, the panel of sheriffs, including Siskiyou County Sheriff Jon Lopey and a property rights attorney, took the stage to address their concerns about the challenges they believe rural communities are facing.
Lopey began the panel discussion by presenting his views about Klamath dam removal, what he sees as federal government incursion into state and county jurisdictions, and the current state of rural America.
Lopey told the audience that many sheriffs in Northern California and Southern Oregon are becoming increasingly concerned about government taking power out of the hands of citizens and making poor land use decisions that have the potential to destroy the “rural way of life.”
“These are constitutional issues,” Lopey told the crowd.
“We are here because sheriffs are sworn to uphold the United States constitution. We are broke, so why are these people doing stupid stuff to make us poorer?” Lopey asked, referring to concerns about the costs associated with Klamath dam removal, and higher taxes and power rates that may come along with the process.
Del Norte County Sheriff Dean Wilson told the audience that “there is an assault on our communities. The government is denying us of our resources that make us self-sustaining. We have allowed this to happen to our country, but our founding fathers gave us the tools to fix it. We can take back our country county by county.”
Nearly every sheriff mentioned concerns about decommissioning of roads in publicly owned forests and the lack of government coordination with local officials during the process.
Trinity County Sheriff Bruce Haney said roads in national forests are essential for search and rescue missions in remote areas.
Haney also expressed his concerns about the influence of government and environmentalists.
“The federal government is being inundated by environmentalists,” Haney said. “Our youth are being indoctrinated by the public schools system and colleges.”
Plumas County Sheriff Greg Hagwood said, “Events like this are something that hasn’t happened before. There is an awakening of a giant here.”
Every sheriff received a standing ovation after their opening statements, and many of the panel’s comments were punctuated with applause throughout the discussion.

Next article, Americans for Safe Access, RE: medical marijuana had this:

"It is the number one cash crop in this area," Dean Wilson said. "It's my job as sheriff to shoot that industry down."

If the local sheriffs are actually worried about tyranny then they better getr mentally prepared to do battle with the local police forces who are being armed by the department of homeland security and other federal agencies with military grade weaponry, including assassination drones. Local police forces are being turned into an armed extension of the feds to impose Washington's will at the local level. You really think the local sheriff's department is ready for that?

What is the State of Jefferson? 4.5 min video.

I'd love to see a sheriff and a thousand deputies stand down the TSA.
