Your deputy director cannot protect you from the consequences you created yourself.

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.

Robert Samuel White

Dear Mr. White (rsw@rswfire.com),

The messages you have recently sent to OPRD Statewide Programs Coordinator [Program Manager] have been forwarded to me.  We understand you are not satisfied with the decision to end your volunteer service with OPRD.  The agency also recognizes that you may be filing a legal action.

In light of this, OPRD is implementing a structured process for correspondence related to this matter. Effective immediately, please direct any inquiries or additional information exclusively to me,  @  .  Please do not communicate further with Ms. [Program Manager] or other OPRD staff, and please do not expect any responses from them.
When and if you decide to file any legal action, your correspondence will be forwarded to our Department of Justice counsel.

Sincerely,

JR Collier

J.R. Collier |  Deputy Director
