This illegal bill, similar to HR 3S53 is contrary to the U.S. Constitu tion Article 1, Sec. 8-17, and the Bill of Rights Article V, Excerpt: "Nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, with out the due process of la w ; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation." SB-626 and Hr3853 indicate the federal government is advocating stealing 48 square miles of private property without due process just compensation.

Based on a packet of infor mation received from the Co lumbia Gorge United Citizens, indicating 75 responsible Groups opposing federal theft, this ugly traitorous action on your part is beneath the dig nity of your positions as sena tors, and is a violation of your oath of office in my opinion!
