With the Federal Government shut down in effect it seems clear that our land is being held hostage from us for political gain. We the people have been shut out from access to what is supposed to be land entrusted to the federal government. We the people did not give them this property to use as leverage but to maintain for the American people and visitors alike. I have suggested we take back out parks from this government that seems perfectly fine in holding them hostage while they sort out their dysfunction. The debt they've created should not have a bearing on whether we the people can and will enjoy our natural resources so I have devised a plan to take back our land and offer their workers the benefit of continuing to serve but not this federal government. We the people's parks will be run and maintained by grassroots efforts, private donations and volunteer hours we love to give as a free people. We will ask the federal government to kindly vacate our property with their police and any other personal they've hired. Then we will open our parks for all to enjoy. Please sign this petition so we the people can get back what is rightfully ours.

Ridiculous that they locked the gates. People pay taxes for these places to be open. Open them back up now!!

My kids have been waiting all summer for this trip and now we cant even step foot in the park. It is our land and we should be able to walk on it whenever we want.

Total overreach. Stop holding nature hostage for your budget games. Let the local volunteers handle it instead.
