This is exactly the location and circumstance where the freedom to petition the government for redress of grievance is absolutely necessary, yet here is the US Government acting like there is no such thing as the First Amendment. These US Forest lands belong to We the People. It's a crime to sacrifice them for a private pipeline, and beyond comprehension that protesting such on public lands should be restrained prior to even beginning.

I hope that this gets challenged and overturned in court.
