By about a 2-to-1 margin, residents approved a measure banning the United Nations in the county and another allowing people to cut trees on federal land, regardless of whether the U.S. Forest Service approves.

The second measure that passed in Grant County says the United Nations wants to take away people's guns, seize private property, control the education of children and establish "one world religion-Pantheism (and) world taxation."

We don't need any laws passed in the U.S. to limit U.N. power here. The U.S. Constitution already says the U.N. has no power.

To add redundant laws to what is already covered in the Constitution accomplishes nothing and instead only delegitimizes the Constitution.

"The United Nations absolutely has no capacity, resources or forces to take over anything in the world," Luers said.

The U.N. doesn't takeover anything, we just give it to them. Our monuments have U.N plaques on them. Our native soil, in many places, is(are?) now a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve.

"We intend to push the limit, push the envelope on this," said Dave Traylor, a stocky, bearded jack-of-all-trades who helped write the measures.

I like that spirit of defiance. All I would caution, though, is that these folks need to make sure they keep their heads on straight, despite all the temptations and provocations they may be subjected to in order to get them to do something stupid. Right now, their biggest obstacle isn't the raw power of the feds; it's the stereotype they face throughout most of the country as being backwater, uneducated, and paranoid. The best way to counter that is to do everything they can to argue dispassionately and intelligently at every opportunity. Godspeed to them.
