I'm proud of our little county and our Tea Party Patriots. Some of the most informed and self-motivated people I've ever been around. It can be done people.

Do you also have one of those Sheriffs willing to tell the NFS and other Federal Polizei to pound sand regarding local law enforcement?

[ronnie raygun]

This shows you how deep the cancer has gone. Counties are feeling the effects of this tyranny that has gripped this nation from within. Stay vigilant. Does anyone think Romney or Santorum have any idea whats going on?

What happens if it’s already enacted? There’s an Agenda 21 type setup in Adams County, PA. I tried informing the local 912 group last year during one of their meetings which was about Agenda 21, people really did not understand that this has already passed here.

Bump to re-read when I need a pick-me-up.

"For over an hour, twenty members of the audience, mostly members of the Sutter Buttes Tea Party, spoke in opposition and warned the proposed grant would come with strings attached which would take away the board’s power to determine local land use and substitute provisions of state law which is tied to language in the controversial Agenda 21 proposed by the United Nations.

Although Wilson had tried to state that there were no strings attached to the grant, community speakers pointed out that the county’s application would have to assure the State that the county would include sustainability, reduce or eliminate cars, provide “equity” and other terminology associated with Agenda 21. In addition, the speakers provided a document to the Board which showed the National Republican party recently passed a resolution exposing Agenda 21 as a comprehensive plan of extreme environmentalism."

That’s nice but go back to page 5 and read how the same TP group failed to stop the grant process in Live Oak, CA. This article really points out how the Agenda 21 folks get their hooks into planning councils by issuing grants for community development that contain back end commitments. This is insidious!

[MrB]

Would this be more of a Cea Party?

Controlled Enough Already...

All zoning is tyranical to property rights and has an ‘agenda’. The ‘agenda’ of a county or city’s zoning ordinances are opposed by some and championed by others.

There is no difference in coerciveness.
An agenda is an agenda.

All States, counties and cities have already gone down the road of relinquishing local control to get Federal taxpayer money from w-a-y back.

People don’t complain when they are getting stuff they agree with.

This is called hypocrisy.

[Lorianne]

States, counties and cities already went down the road of relinquishing local control in exchange for Federal taxpayer money (bribes) for a long, long time now.

I’m sorry, this is just arguing about what FEDpork some people want vs. what FEDpork other people want.

The tea party should be fighting local control being bargained away for all manner of FEDpork bennies, not just Agenda 21 proposals that they don’t like.

If they don’t, I will fight them on this as they are being blatantly hypocritical. Local people should have local control, period. If the tea party won’t fight for this on everything, not just on stuff they don’t like, screw them.

When the tea party started I thought they would fight for larger principals like States rights and greater local control over policies. But IME they are turning out to be just another special interest group on small matters of preference of one type of pork over another.
