Incredible!

Damn, as much as I despise Kalifornia I didn't REALLY want to see them destroy themselves in the very near future.

This and the just enacted "gun control" will put the final nail's in their coffin.

The worst thing is that it will lead to even more liberals fleeing to Nevada, so that they can conveniently visit what they still see ad "Good" about Kali. without actually having to tolerate living there.

While here they will of course work to remake Nevada into another liberal cesspool, certain that they can make their failed policies work here when they already destroyed Kalifornia.

Save both states, get this bill killed and keep the Kali's IN Kalifornia!

Did you assign this posting to a "sidebar" catagory? Did it already get bumped down off any sidebar? Or was it removed?

Just curious...

Unelected, unaccountable commissions dictating policy and writing regulations on the regional and local levels is called a soviet. The Russians had a name for it - soviet socialism.

Congratulations. California has created the first communist soviet socialist government on American soil. The repression and theft will begin soon.

"This legislation is contrary to the governor's California Performance Review and deserves to be vetoed."

Seems to me I remember Mr. Pauli, President of the CA Farm Bureau Federation endorsing Mr. Schwarzenegger quite early, along with the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association!!!

I've got my fingers, toes and legs crossed!!! I went by the local office of the El Dorado County Farm Bureau today, but nobody was in. I wanted to converse with the young lady that is Executive Director about their prior endorsement and the fact that their former President was appointed to the Resources Agency, whose staff played a big role in writing this monstrosity!!!

As a member, I'm really incensed at all this chicanery and B.S.(Barbara Strisand)!!!

[Seadog Bytes]

Have you folks seen this already...???

...Yes, it DID come with all those names...oops?

Sierra Friends,

The plans still aren’t set in stone, but I wanted to give you the latest in regards to the Sierra Nevada Conservancy signing ceremony.

It appears that Thursday the 23rd will indeed be the big day. The latest tentative plan calls for the ceremony to begin at 10:30 AM.

The official location is in the Colfax area. Parking will be at the Colfax Train Station, and attendees will be shuttled from there.

I will let you know as more information comes in.

Valerie Zentner, El Dorado County Farm Bureau executive director, has fought conservancy legislation for a number of years and said that it will adversely affect the people of the state.

"The creation of a Sierra Nevada Conservancy is bad for farmers and ranchers, bad for business, bad for local governments and bad for the state's taxpayers," Zentner said. "It ensures that government continues to grow and yet provides no assurances that the conservancy will actually accomplish anything of value in the Sierra."

I had an intensely interesting conversation with this brilliant young woman today and she agreed with me that the map at the beginning of this thread, as provided in the article, would make an excellent 51^st state named SIERRA REPUBLIC!!!

Too bad for you, Siskayou... You'll have to stay with liberal GANG-GREEN dominated old Cauliforneeah!!! We'll find a Governor with some sense!!!

[marsh2]

I did scream to my CAO about the last minute insertion of "Cascade" into the funding mechanism. Note that Siskiyou is not one of the 22 counties. I sigh a sigh of relief.

Update: ...(...FReepertunity?)
(In the interests of time, I did not attach the map to the Colfax Train Station - Colfax isn't that big - but I can post it later if necessary.

(Note: From the prior msg, the ceremony w/b Thur 9/23/04)

Signing Ceremony - map attached

Dear Sierra Friends--

Assemblyman Leslie would be honored if you would join him, along with Assemblyman Laird, Secretary Chrisman, and the Governor for the signing of AB 2600.

According to the Resources Agency's invite from Secretary Mike Chrisman, "the festivities will occur between 9:30AM to 1:30PM. Please be at the Colfax Train Station (Colfax, California) for transport to the signing ceremony site by 9:30AM. A short program and lunch will follow the signing
ceremony upon return to the Colfax Train Station. A map to the Colfax Train Station is attached.

"Please confirm your attendance by e-mail (dtmachida@tahoecons.ca.gov or by phone[ (530) 542-5580, dial 0]. We apologize for the short notice. Dress
is outdoor casual."

With sadness I must report that I will not be there to celebrate with you all. After nearly a year of labor on this amazing project, it just so happens that the signing is scheduled for the very same day as the Washington, D.C. release party for my book The Revolutionary Communicator.
Know that my heart will definitely be in the Sierra, celebrating with you in spirit!

If for some reason you need to reach me, please use my cell at (916) 799-2359.

Hrm, I own a couple hundred acres in Tuolumne County that's apparently covered by this thing. What, exactly, are the conservancy's powers and how loud are they going to scream when I develop part of it?
