VALLEY FORGE, Pa. (AP) - A marathoner says he was fined $100 for running in Valley Forge National Historical Park during the government shutdown.
John Bell, 56, said he parked his car on Sunday in a remote parking lot, not one blocked by a barrier. Bell, of Chadds Ford, said two rangers were waiting with their car lights flashing when he returned.

Easy ... Refuse To Pay! The public or the People hold ownership, not D.C. or zer0 and his minions.

The US feral government owns EVERYTHING, peasants, and the sooner you understand that the safer you will be.
I mean, it would be a shame if something bad happened to you.

With all these parks being closed, taxpayers should get a refund for not having access to them. Why should we pay for facilities that are closed and presumably no money is being spent to operate them?
Only in the government world do people pay for things that are closed down. The taxpayer is a chump.

We the People ceased to be the sovereigns of this once great Constitutional Republic decades ago, when the subpreme court ruled that interstate commerce allowed fedzilla to dictate without Congressional passage of a law.

Am of this belief ... Our Constitutional Republic Never Ceased to Be ... I trust the public or rather The People (the majority) to know better than some government official, especially the government officials currently in power.

My inclination would be to beat the ranger to within inches of his life...if not shoot him on principle.
They are not there for my safety...they are now agents of tyranny and deserve no mercy.

Citizens own all Government land.
Why can the Government, an entity which solely derives its power from citizens, deny those citizens access to that which is rightfully theirs?

These two rangers are the examples of the FEDs LE that are simply "doing their jobs" This is where it starts. Our founders would have had these two prime examples of tyranny enablers tarred and feathered.
Resistance MUST begin at the local level.

Obama does nothing to illegals who hop the border but fines US citizens using their own property for recreation.
Maybe we’d have better luck securing the border with the National Park Service down there handing out fines.

I’m past disgusted with the rangers and other officers who are keeping baricades up, removing people, and handing out fines. They’re supposed to be representing us, at our national parks and memorials. They’ve become a big part of the problem “just following orders”.

"two rangers were waiting with their car lights flashing when he returned" The Feds are spending more on CLOSED parks than they do when they're open.
