Senate Democrats yesterday barred the public from a committee meeting and vote on a land-use bill that opponents believe will impose federal standards on local zoning boards.

"This was no accident; this was a purposeful sham," said Mike Hardiman, spokesman for the American Land Rights Association, who lined up shortly after 8 a.m. to attend the 9:30 a.m. hearing in the Dirksen Senate Office Building. He said the senators were trying to pass an indefensible bill in secret.

Feds get off of our necks!!!

Feds, get off of our necks!!!

Get the U.N. off our neck. This legislation of Clinton copies to the last detail how the U.N. wants our communities to be set up.

Except for National Security matters, the federal government has NO valid reason for conducting ANY business in the dark. It is high time that America demand our Senate "Royals" be servants to the people.

[Carry_Okie]

Which one will it be?

[antidemocommie]

Private? What is this? Russia? Did we elect gods to DC? Are they all knowing and we are just pions?

So, when HIllary kept "private" her list of friends who helped her create a communistic health care system, what did you think about that?

[joeyman]

Don't worry, I'm sure Bush will veto it. He's a big land rights guy, isn't he?

[Mugwumps]

Amen.

The right to private property is under attack by these fascists - corrupt socialists taking effective control of the factors of production: land, labor, management, and capital. Tyranny by regulation, "under penalty of law". Your rights will be only what the government says they will be. Clintonazis still control the agenda.

[Beamer]

unbelievable, but so expected.

"It is high time that America demand our Senate "Royals" be servants to the people."

It's been high time for a long time, but IMO, it's too late.

So if you have cockroaches in your back yard where you want to build your tool shed, you will now have to apply to Washington and then hope the Sierra Communist Club isn't protesting in your driveway.

Hopefully this an be used to help defeat Baucus in Montana.

"Max wants the Federal Government in charge of local zoning, remember that November 6th."

[George Frm Br00klyn Park]

"Voting in favor were Mr. Chafee, fellow Republican Arlen Specter, Pennsylvania, and Democrats Max Baucus of Montana, Harry Reid of Nevada, Bob Graham of Florida, Joseph I. Lieberman of Connecticut, Barbara Boxer of California, Ron Wyden of Oregon, Thomas R. Carper of Delaware, Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York, Jon Corzine of New Jersey and and Mr. Jeffords."

Guys, "They wouldn't do that!" Peace and love, George.

I sat in a college class with a guest speaker several ago, the local state Senator. He said that PA had among the strictest property rights of all the states and he believed the state needed to call a constitutional convention to change that, that property needed to be subject to more environmental concerns. Couldn't believe my ears. And he was a Republican. A sad day!

And these are the same people who want Tom Ridge to testify, Cheney to provide everything he's ever written, and so on. They make me sick....
