we actually did it and the rights to our claims are officially protected. it feels incredible to see the work pay off after fighting for our independence. stay sharp though because we need to make sure they follow through on this new policy.

This petition comes now, on this day July 4th, 2017 from the people who are the better and more perfect union, from the people who are sovereign and who have been granted independence from any tyrannical institution, at home or abroad.

Our intention is to protect us from all that would threaten the individual rights of any man or woman born under our union, where sovereignty and independence are granted to our people, by our people, and for our people.

By signing this petition, we declare our sovereign right to our resources from our lands granted by our birth and citizenship of our great union, for the overall good and future of our people.

By signing this petition, we reclaim our constitutional right to sovereignty that our citizenship grants us.

We are able to find opportunity for ourselves, for each and everyone without discrimination, and without unconstitutional investiture imposed by tyrannical institution, on the basis that we the people are ignorant of the law and its execution.

By signing this petition:

  • We reclaim our right to prudent prospecting.
  • We regain our rights granted to us by the 1872 Mining Act.
  • We get back our rights to small claim holdings as we deem prudent by our own jurisprudence in accordance to our laws and statutes.
  • We get back our right to casual income by virtue of our hard work prudently done on our small claims operating within casual use guidelines and regulations protected, for us and by us, in the 1872 Mining Act.

With our signature, we declare that peoples’ land will never be deemed “Federal” land.

As a sovereign people we must have our lands by the very definition and meaning of our constitution itself.

The people without their lands are not free, by gain of citizenship or by birth, in a land deemed “Federal”, with unconstitutional stipulations being imposed by unauthorized and illegal means.

The peoples’ lands belong to each and every one of the constituents of a nation that declares itself sovereign to the rest of the world.

We are not the people of an international hypocrisy, but the people united for our liberties, our freedoms, and our justice.


Petition Summary:

Overturning the Colorado DRMS revision of small claims use law, in favor of a fair solution, providing prudent prospecting, attainable for those exploring under notice level mining, completely excusing the DRMS’ involvement from casual use activity.

Action Petitioned For:

We the undersigned are concerned citizens who urge our leaders to act now to overturn the Colorado DRMS revision of small claims use law.

I live in California & I think it's very sad that a state witch was founded on prospecting & mining it's now almost illegal to do in the state for the individual prospectors

No one has the right to deny a free ctizen the right to gainful self employment. If we work hard, be good stewards of our lands and respect others rights then there is no reason for the government to get involved.

while big corporations are allowed to come in and destroy the land for profit us small miners are harassed and prosecuted constantly for trying to make a frugal living from the minerals on our lands without destroying them like the big corporations. This has got to stop!

It is prospectors who help to instill the community with a special respect for the wonders of nature and this world around us. Prospecting as a craft is a tradition as old as this country and older. Do not rob our children of this future.

These people work so hard to collect minerals. Working until their hands bleed and their bodies are exhausted. Why is it so hard to get the permits and permissions to collect from public land? It's an overstepping of government institutions, and their greed that holds people back. Public lands are exactly that. Lands that belong to the people, not the government.

As a professional mining engineer , the heart of discovery and future of the indistry is rooted in small scale prospecting ! When governments overreach for the purpose of denying the individual rights spelled out since the mining act of 1872, they need to be stopped I urge all who read to sign this petition !

This country was founded on mining. One can't live 5 minuets with out someone that has mined it. As long as anybody that mines should be able to without being hounded by the gov, as long as we reclaim what we do
