Livable communities is a socialist trap!--New DODD BILL to enforce UN Agenda 21

Canada Free Press ^ | September 7, 2010 | Tom Deweese

[Ooh-Ah]

S.1619 will establish top down control that turns our communities into little soviets, driven by non-elected boards, councils and regional governments

Senator Christopher Dodd has introduced a bill to enforce UN Agenda 21 policy on your community. It’s called the “Livable Communities Act” (S.1619). It will destroy your community. Here’s why:

• S. 1619 “Livable Communities” act is on a fast track to passage!

• S.1619 is a blueprint for the transformation of our society into total federal control.
• S.1619 will enforce federal Sustainable Development zoning and control of local communities.
• S.1619 will create a massive new “development” bureaucracy—
• (development Czar?)
• S.1619 will drive up the cost of energy to heat and cool your home.
• S.1619 will drive up the cost of gasoline as a way to get you out of your car.
• S.1619 will force you to spend thousands on your home in order to comply.
• S.1619 is NOT Voluntary—it will set up $4 billion in grants (TAX MONEY WE DON’T HAVE) that will force your community to comply.

  ...

  Action to Take:

  ...

  1. Call Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and demand that he lead Senate Republicans in opposition to S.1619. Tell him this bill will destroy local community decisions and enforce massive federal control over our communities.

  ... His office # is: 202-224-3135. His fax # is: 202-224-2574....

  2. Call Senator John Thune, chairman of the Republican Senate Policy Committee.

  Senator Thune’s Republican Policy Committee # is 202-224-2946. Fax # 202-224-1235. Email: mailbox@rpc.senate.gov // ...

  3. Call your state’s two U.S. Senators and demand they vote against S.1619. Give them all the reasons stated above. Senate switchboard: (202) 224-3121. Ask for your Senators by name.

After the election the republicans should start a massive assault on federal power. Top to bottom, every board, commission, agency, department. Every budget item. Are they relevant? Are they necessary?

Cut the federal government down to size, or at least be seen as trying to do that. Send bill after bill to the White House cutting unnecessary pieces of the government. Let Hussein veto them and explain why this board or this commission is vital to the republic. Expose him for the socialist he is. Expose the federal government for what it has become.

Mitch is far too busy raising money for RINO candidates with lobbyist Trent Lott.

Lott: “ We must co-opt all “tea party” cqandidates as soon as possible”

McConnell on Fox News 2 weeks ago: “ President Obama says he is a Christian, and I will take him at his word”

Find somebody who cares about America.

This is Soviet-style top-down planning on steroids. The good news is, he will have to get it passed before the 111th Congress adjourns in December.

OK, call all to stay proudly uninvolved because you don’t like mushy McConnell, but don’t complain about the results.

[MrB]

Worse than that -

the goal is to force everyone off of “land” that can support themselves and their families,

and clustered into urban centers using public transportation.

Clusters are easier to control than spread out independent people.

[Pecos]

Clusters are easier to control, and control is the name of the game.

hummmm, Does this mean Companies that build new homes will become extict? Or will they all become Govt contractors?

[Psalm 144]

This isn’t going to happen.

If attempted, there will be a dynamic renegotiation of the social contract, with extreme prejudice.

The Statists will be disappointed in the results.

The ones who remain, anyway.

Agreed

Wonder if this will effectively dissolve all existing HOA's? Those little tyrants will be ticked....

[Marty62]

Makes one wonder. With the Interior Dept hot to claim all (large portion in western states) and designate the land as Fed protected, the appetite of the progressive/socialist in the Zero admin is unbeliveable.
