120 million taxfree acres in a public/private partnership with the federal government. Why don't Americans see that this is a corrupt practice that will guarantee the eventual loss of property rights for all but the most wealthy among us?

BUMP Even with "citizen boards" we are in trouble, because the ones who gravitate to and serve on these boards are the ones of whom we have be (and should be) worried.

That is what the ruling class have in store for us. Most of the nation is consumed with what is on Survivor and which Toto or piercing is in style right now. Fat cows being led to slaughter without a care in the world. Happily paying their taxes as long as they keep getting some service out of it or the feelgood notion of paying their fair share. So, what are we to do. Protest gets you nowhere. Letters to congress get you put on a kook list. Voting for the other party does no good because they are all shoving it up our moons. Violent revolution gets you shot. We already have no real property rights. Wait for the eminent domain case to go through the Supreme Court. We will see just how fast the rest of our rights to private property disappears. How can we really have private property when we can lose it to a government for not paying our taxes. We need to do something to keep the lecherous bastards off our soil.

Start exercising the power of your vote. If elected officials won't work for us, we don't re-elect them period. We will try someone new. In essence, we can mandate term limits. Either they vote the will of the constituents who put them there or they are gone after one term.

Public/private partnerships are unconstitutional.

Starting locally work with your local officials and let them know you don't want them to support any more federal purchases of land that will go to NGOs like the Nature Conservancy. Tell your friends not to donate money to these groups. You will have to get others to go to meetings that the NRCS holds and let them know that you will hold them to the US Constitution.

This website has some ideas.

The fact of the matter is, is that citizens must work with other citizens to restore Constitutional government. It can be done, it won't be easy. If Al Gore can tell Americans we must undergo a wrenching transformation to the socialist America he envisions, why can't we wrench the country back to where it belongs?

Yes, most of the meetings are held by consensus.

If citizens attend these meetings they must insist that Roberts Rules of Order be followed. NO MORE will Americans tolerate their government stolen by facilitators and the consensus process.

Over 15 million acres in the United States (probably much more) and over 102 million acres in the rest of the world, this “non-profit” owns nearly 120 million acres of land.

15 million acres is over 23,400 square miles, which is larger than many eastern states, or more than 1/7 of California. Enough is enough.

I appreciate your updates on the nefarious schemes and alliances of the land/water grabbers. The unconstitutional accomplishments of evil-doers such as these are mind-bogling. We, the victims had better wake up and take control of our country before we lose it.

Unless we can get more people to vote libertarian a vote cast for them is useless. We need more people to vote libertarian and we need to educate them so they do so. That is the hard part.

Because we can't get any cooperation or agreement on getting rid of the New Deal. The drug war has made the right complicit in the abuse of the Commerce Clause, and the "social conservatives" are so convinced of the absolute necessity of the end they refuse to even consider the unintended consequences of the means.
