[District staff] —

I want you to see what today produced.

I sent this to Oregon State Parks tonight.

I want to be clear about something. I am prepared for any outcome. If the Forest Service decides my position is no longer tenable I will accept that and move forward. I have always known that was a possibility.

But how the Forest Service responds to what happened today matters. Ethically.

A Forest Service law enforcement officer was one of three who came to my door on federal land today. He called me afterward and acknowledged the visit could have been handled differently. That is now documented publicly. And I do not need to make an issue out of it. He walked in with incomplete information, and that is where it should stay.

I have broken no laws. I have documented my life and a year of institutional abuse by Oregon State Parks. That is a protected First Amendment right. I have done this because what they did was wrong and if no one speaks up, the next person walks into it as blind as I was. And I will not accept that.

I am not asking you to fight my battle. I am asking you to know what happened here. And to understand that how the Forest Service handles this becomes part of the record too. If you dismiss me now, you become part of the retaliation. I hope the Forest Service is better than that.

You have always treated me with respect. I hope that continues.

Subject: Evidence Page 10 — Police Intimidation

One year ago today you dismissed me from Honeyman State Park and gave me 24 hours to leave.

Today — on the anniversary — police arrived at a locked federal gate on federal land where I serve as a U.S. Forest Service caretaker. Three officers. No agency identified. They told me they were concerned about what I was posting online.

I recorded them leaving.

I told them I wouldn't speak without an attorney.

I told the officer who called me afterward that this was intimidation and retaliation on the anniversary of the day you dismissed me.

He agreed it could have been handled differently.

It is now Evidence Page 10.

This is what your institution produced by involving law enforcement in a First Amendment retaliation case on the anniversary of the dismissal.

A new evidence page.

A YouTube short with 800 witnesses and counting.

And a stronger case.
