Jackson County Commissioners

 to Hold Public Hearing
Regarding the Expansion of the
Cascade-Siskiyou National Monument 
  • We need OHA members to send emails to Jackson County Commissioners by 5pm Oct. 26.
  • We need OHA members to attend the Jackson County Commission Public Hearing on Oct. 27, 6pm, at the
North Medford High School Commons,
1900 Keene Way Drive, Medford, OR
 
“We need to make sure we send input back to Washington DC that reflects the true opinions of all those that live here,” says Board Chair Rick Dyer, Jackson County Commissioners, “we want to hear from ranchers, recreational groups, hunters, environmental groups, hikers, the tourism and timber industries and everyone else that this decision affects.”
Background
  • Oregon Congressional Senator Merkley and Senator Wyden are proposing an expansion of the existing Cascade Siskiyou National Monument.
  • This proposal was not widely circulated to the public.
  • The proposal comes as a request to roughly double the Cascade Siskiyou National Monument size by presidential proclamation under the Antiquities Act. (1906)
If You Would Like to Email the Jackson County Commissioners
  • Send your emails by 5 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 26.
  • In the subject line of the email use the words: WE WANT A DEMOCRATIC PROCESS NOT A PRESIDENTIAL PROCLAMATION!
  • State that you are a member of Oregon Hunters Association.
  • Make your email original and stress just one or two points. (Examples listed below).
  • Do not use a form email.  Please make it your own.
  • Send your emails to: BoC-CAO_Admin@jacksoncounty.org
 Points for Your Email That You May Want to Use:
  • These large-scale land use changes need to follow a more democratic process than a presidential signature.
  • Lack of a thorough public process. 
  • Holding one hearing on short notice, after already requesting the expansion is not adequate.
  • Where is the science that the "scientists" feel leads to a need to expand?  Who are these "scientists"?  What "mounting pressures" are coming from adjacent public lands that require Monument designation?  
  • How can anyone claim support of local officials, and the public, prior to conducting any meetings or outreach? 
  • Why wasn't OHA advised in advance?  What's the sudden rush?
Make Your Email Concise and to The Point
