JR,

I received your letter attempting to dictate the terms of my correspondence with Oregon Parks and Recreation Department.

Let me be clear: you have no authority to tell me who I can or cannot contact within a public agency. I am a citizen whose constitutional rights your agency has violated for 324 days. You do not get to control how I pursue restoration of those rights.

I will contact whoever I need to contact, whenever I choose to do so. Your "structured process" is your internal matter and has no bearing on my actions.

I don't need your permission to communicate with a public agency. Don't confuse your internal routing procedures with authority over me.
