good article, but I couldn’t figure out what was making it so hard to read...Had to put on concentration hat, bingo, paragraphs are wonderful things....This article is well worth the read, normally I’d just give up....gg
We learn from our mistakes. Go for it. (and share what happened to enlighten us all.)

I am glad to see more and more Sheriffs who “get it”.
Theirs is an office (not a department of anything) that draws it’s power straight from the Constitution. Can’t be said for ANY police department or Federal law enforcement department.
But fedgov has been ignoring the Constituion for a long time.

Nobody responded in any post with the first thought that crossed my mind as I read the article, and that was “can you all say United Nations Agenda 21 everybody?”
This is just a part of the UN power grab that has been foretold for so long. It’s happening now, and these Sheriffs need our backing all the way.

Pinging the Agenda 21 folks!
More on the sheriffs with spines! (See post 7 for the formatted version!)

Thanks for the ping TEXOKIE. See my post #25 just two prior to your ping. GMTA.
“I had several more examples of sheriffs (one in Indiana threatened to arrest EPA thugs) rebelling, but couldn’t put them in the article, as I had to focus on N.M.”
Please, girlangler, would you be willing to post links to those stories! Thanks!

Excellent! This is what I love to hear.
These tyrannical road closures coming from the feds in DC make my blood boil. I'm extremely happy to see that locals are taking aqction here -- even if it means cutting the damn locks! Bravo!
Thanks for the ping, girlangler!
It’s a helluva story isn’t it?
Word is the ranger in question has been a ticking time-bomb every place he’s worked.
I’ve got some friends in his previous jurisdiction who are working to make his record of run-ins and near-blow-ups known not only to the authorities but also the public at large.
That’s some tough country up there near Roundup and I have to wonder if the hunter didn’t recognize this idiot ranger...otherwise somebody wouldn’t have walked away from the situation.
I also suspect that the ranger recognized the vehicle and the lady inside...she and her husband are apparently known as “anti-government” types, by the people who use such labels (pro-big-government types, in other words)...the ranger knew who they were and decided to strut his stuff.
Now they are stuck with the threat of prison and tons of legal bills while you and I are forced to pay his.
What a disgrace.
Point is, I respect you as a fellow FReeper but give the messenger a break.
I did IT work for 17 years in older tech and I still can't do a basic web page. Don't have the motivation or desire.
I'm nit pickin' about the 'learn HTML' post, alright. I'm not attacking you 'per se' but we all must remember the message.
Those sheriffs I've been reading about kick ass.
And my FRiend, I'm pretty 'anti-cop' based on my dealings in life.
Peace brother. I ride a Harley. It's not what you ride but IF you ride... ain't I right?
The most important thing is getting the information out. Especially check out his lessons learned on the summary page.
We keep pressure up on them, and we'll roll back the statists on this issue like we have on the 2nd Amendment issue.

OREGON SHERIFF STANDS UP AGAINST THE U.S. FOREST SERVICE
I love it when County Sheriff's stand up against the feds.
Whatever... I always made sure I had a pocket full of quarters if going through Santa Fe during the HOG rally back in the early '80s. ;)
I rode a Honda 350 back then.
I'm too fragile to ride these days. And actually aware of it...
/johnny
Thanks Flycatcher, just reporting the news in the area I happen to be covering at this point. I love the West, and the spirit of the people here.
I've had the old CL350's IIRC which were basically a street bike with knobbys, raced hare scrambles and motocross in the 'early 80's' owned a stable of crotch rockets, but I love my old 85 softail custom with the old school 4 spd tranny.
Your comment reminds me of my old sarge that I used to go dirtbike riding with in Mississippi who is now 67 and tells me he's too old to ride.
I respect what you say about 'acknowledging it' but I'm too damn stubborn to give up just yet. I'm 50 and still ride dirtbikes too. Now when I break something (which I have) it does take a little longer to heal.
Sorry for the brag rant.
Sorry for going so far off topic.
Sheriffs exercising their Constitutional duty. That's a win in my book.
Peace.
Spent some time in SW NM a couple years back; all over the place, typical tourist stuff. Wonderful people, beautiful scenery!
Ping, in case you’re not on this list. I think you would find this one pretty interesting.
