On January 2, 2016, a peaceful protest through the City Burns, Oregon was inititated for the unlawful inprisonment of the Dwight and Stephen Hammond.   There has been constant overreach of the Bureau of Land Management, contracted through the Department of Interior.  The BLM has been abusing our ranchers right  to use public lands for grazing.  The BLM has burned cattled, burned ranches, threatend ranchers and even financially broke them in order to get the land that they are using for grazing and in some intances taken possession of the private property that these ranchers own.  Near the  end of this peaceful protest some broke off,  and soon many people ended up at the Malheur Wildlife Refuge on public land.  The buildings were all open to public and these American Patriots decided to continue the protest.  They were there quite a while and during that time, worked with Ranchers teaching them how to protect themselves from becoming victims to the BLM.  On January 26, 2016, about 9 of the speakers and others who were in two seperate vehicles,  were on their way to another County to speak to about 400 ranchers, County officials and more to teach them how to protect themselves.  While on the way to this County, they were ambushed by the FBI and Oregon State Police, who fired upon one vehicle in particular.   The driver of that vehicle was shot while hands in the air, and one person in the back of that vehicle was injured.  It was horrific, as there were two women in that vehicle.  All these people were doing was going to a meeting to teach the Constitution and teach how to protect yourselves from this overreaching BLM.    Many of these people who were attacked and now in prison have never had a traffic ticket.  As of 7/8/16, we have 30 men in prison, along with 15 men and women on house arrest awaiting trials for crimes they never did.
