The challenge confronting Americans across this country is how to restore proper management of our lands, so that they might be saved from the destructive policies being pursued by the federal government. Statehood, separation, coordination, legislation, and jurisdiction are different approaches being pursued with the same desired outcome.



Why Jurisdiction Matters



Of these, jurisdiction provides the quickest, cheapest, and most direct path. That is because Jurisdiction does not require consent of the federal government, the very source of our problems to start with. Rather, the exercise of Jurisdiction only requires the knowledge and conviction to uphold the Constitution.



The Restoration can begin immediately, starting at the county level. Counties have the authority and the duty to protect the health, safety, and welfare of their constituents.



Supported



In addition to the U.S. Constitution, Jurisdiction is supported by the federal government’s own admission. According to the 1962 Eisenhower Report (shown in the right margin), 95% of the two-thirds of the Western States commonly, but incorrectly, referred to as “federal lands” are already under our jurisdiction. Only 5% of lands that qualify as federal enclaves are under federal jurisdiction.
