I was watching the 9/11 commemoration and, as if my psyche has not been assaulted enough by seeing again that horrible attack on our nation, I received a disturbing email from a friend. She asked to me read an article titled, Social Engineering Bill In Senate Will Force You Into City, by Bob Livingston. It is conceivable that this situation could be more damaging to our society than was the 9/11 attack. I refrain from trusting much of anything I receive via email, without doing some further checking. With just a preliminary check, indeed Chris Dodd did introduce SB1619, the Livable Communities Act. Bob Livingston is known as an ultra-conservative. Lest I be accused of accepting the writings of a far-right kook, the mainstream characterization of people who diligently watch for government infringement upon our rights, I continued my research.
My guard went up when I saw the connection between Agenda 21 and SB1619. For those unfamiliar with Agenda 21, take heart. You will be seeing a lot more of it before, and if, we extricate ourselves and our nation from the clutches of big government and the one world order. Take some time to look into Agenda 21, aka Sustainable Development. It sounds like such an innocuous term. Our government leaders, Democrats and Republicans alike, have bought into this wholeheartedly. But if you have any remaining shred of belief in our founding principle of private property, you might want to look at our governments desire to completely control where and how we live, under the umbrella of Sustainable Development. Agenda 21 is a program resulting from the 1992 United Nations Earth Summit. It embraces a global, national and local takeover of resources. You may be surprised to find the degree to which your local government is involved in Agenda 21/Sustainable Development. Just look. I found it in my own county governments policies.
Another astonishing disclosure I found was a report by a man named David Rusk. Rusk is a former mayor of Albuquerque and creator of the City Elastic Hypothesis. While I wouldnt argue with his findings, I am very wary of government using them for social engineering purposes. He is also the author of Cities Without Suburbs. Perhaps the implications of even this title make you a bit uneasy. I certainly was alarmed by his report, Building Sustainable, Inclusive Communities. This report was a commentary and analysis of community planning recommendations adopted by the group, Building One America (BOA), a group which touts itself as A National Coalition for Regional Equity. Scared yet? Scroll to Appendix A of this report to see the interconnections of BOA, Poverty and Race Research Action Council (PRRAC), and the government agencies, HUD, DOT and EPA. Scroll on down to the end to see quick thumbnail sketches of BOA and PRRAC. Always get your radar up when you see HUD, DOT and EPA in the same setting as Agenda 21 and Sustainable Development. They will at the very least, cost you money, and at the most, your freedom.
Dodds SB1619 is in lock step with the Sustainable Development policies. The bill is designed to control habitation patterns through government grants for appropriate land use. You can see the bill for yourself at U.S. Senate: Legislation and Records Home. Enter SB1619 at the site and take a look particularly at Sections 7 & 8, the Grant Programs. On the surface, this all seems noble and worthwhile. We all want people to have decent housing and, at the same time, protect our environment. I ask you, how did the federal governments meddling in affordable housing work out the last time? It caused a near collapse of our economy. We no longer have the resources for such social engineering projects, nor do they work. They never have worked and they never will work. When will the progressives finally realize that they cannot control human behavior?
If anything beneficial came out of the massive downturn of our economy, it could be the realization that we need to get along with less. Let free market principles work. If we can ever get back on our financial feet again, people, out of economic necessity, may choose to live closer to their work and they will buy or rent homes at appropriate locations accordingly. Even if the government bureaucrats who devise these schemes have the noblest of intentions, their plans always devolve into mismanagement, inefficiency and corruption. I have, however, seen too much during the past eighteen months that causes me to doubt their noblest of intentions. These bureaucrats, mostly from the Left, but a few RINOS (Republicans in Name Only) may see a Utopian society of worker bees, functioning happily within an infrastructure created for them by a benevolent government class, as the path our nation should follow. But I, and an ever-increasing number of my fellow Americans, dont accept this vision. It has taken a hundred years for the big-government crowd to overplay their hand. Americans have at last awakened from their lethargy and are finally seeing and understanding the nature of these bureaucrats intentions. I am saddened, though, by the people I still see in our society, who know we are in trouble and that our government is becoming increasingly powerful and dangerous, but take it lying down. They assume a defeatist posture and see the big-government outcome as inevitable.
As for all humanity, we have been given inalienable rights from God. But God blessed us with just the right set of circumstances never before created for man. From this providence arose an honorable and brilliant collection of men, our founders. With Gods guidance they created a system of government designed to ensure the preservation of His rights for man. With this gift of freedom comes the responsibility to protect it. Millions of Americans now realize this and have stepped up to the task. Through the primary process, we have discarded many of the self-serving politicians who see themselves and government as the source of our rights, rather than from God. We are, however, still in grave danger. The silent citizens also need to wake up and accept their responsibility to hold incumbents and the fall-election candidates accountable for maintaining our founding principles.
What better place to start, silent citizens, than to inspect Sen. Dodds bill, SB1619. Find out what your incumbent senators and your candidates positions are regarding this bill and ultimately, government control of where you live. For that matter, ask officials at all government levels what their positions are regarding Agenda 21 and Sustainable Development. You may or may not be alarmed at the thought of a future in which our descendants will be told where they must live, but keep your eyes and ears open. You will assuredly find an issue that the government wants to keep under the radar, an issue, against which I hope to God you are willing to fight.
Communist/statist policies, by elitist politicians that think they know better than us. Stealing our freedoms little by little.

Chris Dodd.
Who wrote this bill?
I hope people keep track of where the second half of the Kennedy-—waitress sandwich lives.....
He might have to re-locate, himself.

still posting.
I call it “urban feudalism”. The “intelligentsia” want to force all Americans into Tokyo-dense megacities, and turn the vacated countryside “back to nature”. Once that is done, said “intelligentsia” will rule the megacities as the new “lords of the manor”, with the rest of the no-longer-citizens as modern feudal peons.
Of course the solution for that might be to not vote for subhuman garbage like him in the first place. But never mind. I'm stuck with McCain, who just spent 20 Large to retain a 200 grand a year job.
Now why would he do that? Doesn't that seem stupid as all getout?
Drunken Kennedy, drunken Dodd-waitress sandwich.
A moment that should live in infamy.

If term limits were in effect, he wouldn't be able to accumulate the power (seniority) to do so. And, IMO, the process of corruption takes TIME....the longer a politician is in office, the more likely he is to become corrupt. So, overall, term limits would lead to LESS corruption, not more.
They all do this. Take the land, take the farmland, force people into centralized locations. This is totalitarianism. Lenin to Stalin to Mao...they all did this. Centralized the land. This is the greatest affront to freemen there can be. It is too crush the landlord.
What I have not seen yet, is the rise of the 0bama Guard. He clearly talked of it during the campaign, but so far seems to have failed to assemble it.
Billy Cunningham pointed out that 0bama promised to cut military spending in the campaign, but has yet to even address making those cuts.
ROFL, good eye Pan....
