Not far enough, House members, the actual federal law REQUIRES memorials and national parks to be open to the public, and if the NPS is unable to collect fees for some reason, those stations are required to be left open to the public until such time that the NPS can return to collecting fees. That any change in a park’s hours must be submitted to the public at least 90 days in advance, and the only shutdowns are permitted for emergencies; specifically spelled out - law enforcement investigations, fires or other natural disasters, or imminent health and safety concerns such as plague outbreaks and the like.
Nothing in federal law permits the closure of any national park just because the NPS says so.
Also absent is the offers by states and organizations to pay for or to operate national parks to keep them open and the rejection of those offers for the first time by the NPS.
FLASHBACK:
Take Obamas head of the National Park Service, please. While serving as the Pacific West regional director of the NPS, Jon Jarvis was accused of at least 21 instances of scientific misconduct (pdf) by Dr. Corey Goodman, a high-ranking member of the National Academy of Sciences. Extensive information about Jarvis alleged role in cooking data about a California oyster farms impact on harbor seals at Point Reyes was withheld during the 2009 nomination process. Interior Secretary Ken Salazar has ignored complaints and follow-up from both Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein and Republican Sens. James Inhofe and David Vitter.
Most gov't bureaucrats are gov't bureaucrats because they are risk averse and seek security. They are in it to 'preserve, protect and defend' their cushy jobs and pensions. Not following orders under the Jarrett/Obama regime would jeopardize that.
Bttt
Obama’s Thuggery Yoggie Park Rangers.
Pawns of the US unite, it is our chess board!
Brown Shirt brown nosers.
I see our rep Rob Woodall was too busy to sign it. His excuse is that it does no good to send these letters and works on real legislation to stop these kinds of things. I think I’m not buying that argument anymore.
a Development like this.....gives one some small HOPE that we MAY survive as a Republic.
or The proposed Detroit WIlderness National Park
Would you prefer that some international Saudi-owned conglomerate buys them up for pennies on the dollar, or that we the people retake control?
After this is over I doubt if any park ranger will be respected. I know, they were only following orders. But Gestapo style?
well put.
Our reality and that of the tyrant do not however match.
The tyrant thinks that its HIS property.
Tweet this info TO EVERYONE on your facebook and twitter accounts - we have. Let your coworkers, clients, etc know also!
I thought that name..JARVIS was familiar.
she’s not well thought of at all here 30 some miles from the Oyster Farm.
Park Rangers Refuse Truckload of Porta Potties for WW II Veterans
Gateway Pundit ^ | October 9,2013 | Jim Hoft / Posted by Hojczyk
A semi carrying porta potties pulled up yesterday beside the WW II Memorial in Washington D.C.. The porta potties were donated by private citezens to help out the visiting veterans since the facilities are closed.
However, the park rangers turned the truck away and they were not allowed to unload. Michele Tennery witnessed this event and was astonished that the rangers could be so heartless in their treatment of the veterans. Michele added, The photos show the attempted delivery of Port-A-Johns by Dons Johns. The NPS Ranger would not allow the Port-A-Johns to be left at the WWII Memorial site on the grassy area (where the National Park Police have parked 10+ vehicles!).
The NPS has not opened the bathrooms at this Memorial site so there are no open bathroom facilities onsite at the WWII Memorial. Despite the actions of the park rangers a handful of porta-john were placed near the memorial overnight by private citizens.(Excerpt) Read more at thegatewaypundit.com ...

A Progressive Liberal Obama voter makes do without a porta-potty.
Great work!
