- Court Opinion
- This is the judges rather harsh and right-wing decision on the PA
case. We all lost, because thi sjudge has decided it's OK for the
Forest Service to hassle us as a targeted activity, because they think
we are all criminals. So much for democracy and civil rights...

Service Report

in this report, mostly because the Forest Service considers most the
young people at the gathering criminals, and only see the Gathering as
an illegal activity.
