Harney County Community Meeting Change in Venue and Format for January 25

Burns – Harney County Judge Steve Grasty announced a change in venue and format for the weekly Harney County community meeting scheduled for Monday, January 25. “We started the weekly community meeting so that Harney County residents would have an opportunity to ask questions and voice their concerns in a safe and civil manner,” said Judge Grasty.

The meeting last week did not fulfill that purpose.”

Harney County has been notified by the school district that school facilities will no longer be available for these community meetings due to the number of firearms that were present, in violation of school district policy.

The meeting on January 25 will be held at the Harney County Senior Center at 5:00 p.m. Doors will open at 4:30.

The Senior Center also has a “no firearm” policy that will be strictly enforced.

Please arrive early in order to get through security in a timely manner.
The format for this meeting will also be special. “Residents of Harney County have been given a unique opportunity to be heard statewide,” said Judge Grasty, explaining that Oregon Public Broadcasting’s Think Out Loud public affairs program will moderate and record the meeting on Monday. The host of Think Out Loud, Dave Miller, will ask questions of those in attendance.

This episode of Think Out Loud will air on Tuesday, January 26. “I can’t think of a better way to give Oregon a taste of the real Harney County,” continued Grasty.

Due to space limitations at the Senior Center and the unique format, entrance to this meeting will be limited only to those Harney County residents who have a ticket.

Tickets will be available starting at 10 a.m. Monday morning. Here is what you need to know:

• Pick up tickets at the Harney County Courthouse, Clerk’s Office,

• There will be 150 tickets available. Thirty tickets have been set aside for invited guests. Any of those tickets that are unused will be available for others to use.

• Anyone who is not able to get a ticket for this meeting, will be wait-listed for this meeting and put at the front of the list for future meetings, should it be necessary to continue with this ticketing format.

  1. Impeach / fire him. Public servants are employees…they can be fired. The Public Law is what they are under contract to uphold..the Public Law pre 1864 before Martial Law…learn your history

  2. “Grasty holds six positions in that county..with many conflicts. they are…Harney County Judge, he is the county Health Adminstrator, which gives him access to everyones medical records, County Commissioner, Chief Budget Officer and CEO, Grasty also oversees the County’s landfills”

    Idaho Constitution, Article I Declaration of Rights, Section 3. State inseparable part of Union. The state of Idaho is an inseparable part of the American Union, AND THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES IS THE SUPREME LAW OF THE LAND.

    Article II Distribution of Powers, Section 1. Departments of government. The powers of the government of this state are divided into three distinct departments, the legislative, executive and judicial; and no person or collection of persons charged with the exercise of powers properly belonging to one of these departments shall exercise any powers properly belonging to either of the others, except as in this constitution expressly directed or permitted.

    Article V Judicial Department, Section 11. District courts — Judges and terms. The state shall be divided into five judicial districts, for each of which a judge shall be chosen by the qualified electors thereof, whose term of office shall be four years. And there shall be held a district court in each county, at least twice in each year, to continue for such time in each county as may be prescribed by law. But the legislature may reduce or increase the number of districts, district judges and district attorneys. This section shall not be construed to prevent the holding of special terms under such regulations as may be provided by law.

    He cannot LAWFULLY hold positions within different branches of government, the supreme Law (US Constitution) of this nation forbids it, as does the HIGHEST Law of the state of Idaho, it’s Constitution. He also seems to be going against the US Constitution, breaking the required Oath to each Constitution under which he serves and is ALLOWED to use the powers of the position occupied as long as he keeps the contracts that he serves under (US Constitution, Idaho Constitution), takes and KEEPS his Oath of Office, and follows the Laws of this state. Crimes that he seems to be OPENLY committing are some felonies, multiple Perjuries, quite possibly *terrorism (Domestic), **etc.

    *28 C.F.R. Section 0.85 Terrorism is defined as “the unlawful use of force and violence against persons or property to intimidate or coerce a government, the civilian population, or any segment thereof, in furtherance of political or social objectives”.

    **The requirement for all Federal and State Civil officers to give their solemn and binding Oath is established in Article VI, Section 1, Clause 4.

    Solemn: “Legally binding, Common legal phrase indicating that an agreement has been consciously made, and certain actions are now either required or prohibited. The other requirement for an agreement or contract to be considered legally binding is consideration – both parties must knowingly understand what they are agreeing to”

    Bound: “Being under legal or moral obligation; to constitute the boundary or limit of; to set a limit to; confine”

    Legally Binding: Common legal phrase. Lawful action, such as an agreement consciously agreed to by two or more entities, establishing lawful accountability.

    Consideration: “Consideration in a contract is a bargained for exchange of acts or forbearance of an act.”

    Require, Requirement, Required: Mandated under a law or by an authoritative entity. “To claim or ask for by right and authority; That which is required; a thing demanded or obligatory; something demanded or imposed as an obligation.”

    Contract: “An agreement between two or more parties creating obligations that are enforceable or otherwise recognizable at law.”

    Federal law regulating oath of office by government officials – state and federal – is divided into four parts along with an executive order that further defines the law for purposes of enforcement.

    5 U.S.C. 3331, provides the text of the actual oath of office the three branches of our government, the military, all law enforcement, the heads of the States, all federal employees are required to take before assuming office.

    5 U.S.C. 3333 requires the three branches of our government, the military, all law enforcement, the heads of the States, all federal employees sign an affidavit that they have taken the oath of office required by 5 U.S.C. 3331 and have not or will not violate that oath of office during their tenure of office.

    18 U.S.C. 1918 provides penalties for violation of oath of office described in 5 U.S.C. 7311 which include: (1) removal from office and; (2) confinement or a fine.

    5 U.S.C. 7311 explicitly makes it a federal criminal offense for anyone employed in the United States Government to “advocate the overthrow of our constitutional form of government”.

    The definition of “advocate” is further specified in Executive Order 10450 for the purposes of enforcement supplements 5 U.S.C. 7311. Executive Order 10450 provision specifies it is a violation of 5 U.S.C. 7311 for any person taking the oath of office to advocate “the alteration … of the form of the government of the United States by unconstitutional means.”

    Our form of government is defined by the Constitution of the United States. According to Executive Order 10450 and 5 U.S. 7311 any act taken by government officials who have taken the oath of office prescribed by 5 U.S.C. 3331 which alters the form of government other then by amendment, is a criminal violation of the 5 U.S.C. 7311.

    Is he not trying to alter the republican form of government that Idaho is required to have (supreme Law of the nation) by his political actions? Will that not harm the Union (United States of America) of which Idaho is a member, sends its representatives to make clear this states wants/needs?

    Brookfield Construction Company V. Stewart 284 F Sup. 94: “An officer who acts in violation of the constitution ceases to represent the government.”

    This is only a start – figure out more of his possible crimes, charge him, PROSECUTE him.

  3. You Know. I was thinking that with Grasty holding all of these County positions of authority ( spanning executive, legislative, and judicial branches of government )that he MAY be upset with these pesky Patriots bringing attention to his little Kingdom and might somehow shine some light on some not-so-legal activities occurring within his regime. Maybe the FBI should be looking into some of the activities and shenanigans that may be occurring within this county’s operations.

  4. “The County Court is an administrative body with duties directly related to the County’s government. The Court is made up of three [b]elected officials[/b] (County Judge and two County Commissioners) and provides direction and guidance for the County in policy and rules.”

    The above is taken directly from the County website. All three including Steven Grasty are ELECTED officials and should be recalled at least or voted out. Conservatives do not seem to want confrontation through the voting process but they would rather just complain. Get out the vote and remove him from office. Install the representatives who will work for you. Yes it takes effort but it is the only way we can address people like Grasty. Fire him!

  5. Tomorrow judge Grasty should sit down and watch the movie Battle of Athens… its a little story about Athens TN in 1946…true story…

    • Grasty holds six positions in that county..with many conflicts. they are…Harney County Judge, he is the county Health Adminstrator, which gives him access to everyones medical records, County Commissioner, Chief Budget Officer and CEO, Grasty also oversees the County’s landfills

      • Nasty-Grasty seems to be one busy little communist dictator with all these positions. As such Grasty has earned the right to have all the county dumps named after him.

  6. This is an underhanded trick designed to control the agenda of the meeting by setting the rules to exclude the opposition, an age old progressive tactic. Putting peaceful people through security reeks of government heavy handed tactics. He is restricting the attendees to those who favor the government’s side of the issue, using gun control, the number allowed in the space provided, and residency. He guarantee’s support for his position by holding 30 tickets for those hand picked individuals who side with the government. My suggestion would be to hold a parallel meeting for those with a moral compass who can see the fault in attending Grasty’s meeting. He is dividing his community even further with this change of tactics, making fools of his constituents. This meeting should be boycotted out of principal with attention being focused on a parallel meeting, or at the very least a protest at the door of Grasty’s meeting, it would defeat his supposed purpose of a meeting at all, which is to voice all opinions in an unbiased format. As I understand it they have a building at the fairgrounds that is large enough to accommodate more than 150, and if the building is to small hold it outdoors, it is that important for all to be heard.

    • My estimate at the KrisAnne Hall meeting was 300+ and room to set up another couple of rows of chairs if they had been available (many people stood). You are right, hold it at the Fairgrounds.
