The Dark Side of Conservation Easements-Martha Boneta’s Saga Continues
Anyone who is familiar with Agenda 21 knows that both the Socialists and the extreme environmentalists are working to destroy private property rights. Without property we are no more than slaves. One of the strategies used to destroy property rights is conservation easements.
Keeping it simple, conservation easements are created when a land trust pays a land owner to promise to not develop IN PERPITUITY their property (in most cases just building a new barn would be not be allowed under the terms of the conservation easement). In return the land owner and his heirs are then able to stay on this land in perpetuity, which is an awful long time to prevent development of a parcel of land.
You may have followed the story of Martha Boneta, who bought in 2006 acreage in Virginia that was part of a conservation easement. If so you are aware the land trust, Piedmont Environmental Council, from whom the conservation easement had been purchased, fined Ms. Boneta $5,000 dollars per day after the zoning administrator saw a picture posted on Boneta’s Facebook page of a birthday celebration given on her farm. This heavy-handed treatment triggered a long contracted legal battle by Ms. Boneta to maintain control of her property which ultimately ended in Boneta’s Law. Boneta’s Law has shown a light on the abuses of conservation easements and gained a degree of property rights protection for small farmers in Virginia.
What you likely do not know is that Ms. Boneta is again back in court. To learn more about the new battle, again against the land trust, Piedmont Environmental Council, click on this link.
You also likely do not know that Ms. Boneta’s story has been made into a film that was shown at the Anthem Film Festival at Freedom Fest in Las Vegas on July 11, 2015 where it won two awards. If you would like to see a trailer for this fine video, click on this link.
You may also wish to read about a 2013 law suit filed against a horse farm, which was being operated under a conservation easement, and how just a few small changes on the farm triggered this two-year court battle. If so, click on this link.
Moral of the story: beware of conservation easements and land trusts. While they may fix a short-term cash flow problem, they will create restrictions for current and future land owners. More important conservation easements decrease future economic activity on the property affecting the nation’s bottom line. In addition, as more land is removed from private ownership, the cost of land and taxes on non-conservation easement land will increase. Eventually only the elite will be able to afford land, forcing the rest of us into the city where we can be more easily controlled by an over-reaching government.

Even After Supreme Court Ruling, These States Are Still Resisting Same-Sex Marriage
Do you feel homosexual relationships go against your moral and/or religious beliefs? Do you think that the definition of marriage has been corrupted and, regardless of what the Supreme Court says, marriage can only exist between a man and a woman? Do you think that the Supreme Court should not be able to steal state sovereignty from the citizens in state who have passed an amendment against gay marriage? If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, you likely wish there was a way to fight back-but how?
This article will show you that some states are willing to lead the way. If you are from any of these states, please support your politicians to help them keep up the fight. If you are not from any of these states, especially if your state passed an amendment against gay marriage, email this article to your legislators and ask them why they are not in the fight.
To learn which states are fighting back, click on this link.

The SCOTUScare Act
If the Supreme Court believes Obama Care is such a great thing, why have they allowed themselves to be exempted from a requirement to live under its strictures? With some help from citizens like you, perhaps we can force them, as they have forced so many other Americans, to live under its mandates. To learn more about the SCOTUScare Act and how to support it, click on this link.

Raisins, the Supreme Court, and Food Freedom
A raisin farmer in Horne v. USDA sued the United States Department of Agriculture for confiscating each year a significant percentage of his raisin harvest. This decades old scheme by the federal government was supposed to increase the price of raisins. Be that as it may, it is still theft and in opposition to the Fifth Amendment. Fortunately the Horne family was up for the 11 years battle that culminated in a win for property rights at the Supreme Court.
This article will give you more background on the case, while also providing additional interesting information on the historical origins of the Fifth Amendment. To learn more, click on this link.

‘‘Western Water and American Food Security Act of 2015’’
No resource is more vital than water; not just for drinking, washing, etc. but for its necessity in the growing of crops. In the case of California, whose crops provide much of our nation’s food supply, it is especially disturbing that California’s water policies exacerbate the problems caused by their long drought. Then again, as the Left so proudly states, create the problem so the Left can create their desired solution, which would be water rationing and control of the folks.
Fortunately, if you read this article, you will see that there is an effort to pass the ‘‘Western Water and American Food Security Act of 2015’’, which, if passed, should undermine the Left’s egregious handling of the water supply throughout the Western states. To learn more, click on this link.

Supreme Court Deals Blow to Obama Environmental Agenda
As you likely know, on June 29, 2015 the Supreme Court ruled the EPA must take into account the cost of their regulations on the energy industry. The Supreme Court is to be lauded for this decision. It is a step in the right direction. If the EPA can be held to this new restriction, perhaps the coal industry can survive and continue to provide reasonably priced electricity for the citizens. Otherwise, all bets are off. To learn more, click on this link.

Fast-Track Would Give Obama Green Light To Form EU-Inspired ‘Pacific Union’, Surrender Congress’ Treaty Powers
This is not the first time the author of this website has sounded the alarm against the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP). By itself it is a bad piece of legislation for America but it is made worse if President Obama is given the right to Fast-Track it. Please read the joint statement released by U.S. Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL), Chairman of the Subcommittee on Immigration and the National Interest and U.S. Rep Duncan Hunter (R-CA) regarding the impending vote on fast-track executive authority and the threat that it poses to the rights and sovereignty of the America citizen, then please call your Senator ASAP! To read the entire statement from the Senators, click on this link.

Stop Funding of Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF)!
(6/7/15)
What is the Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF)?
This paragraph is taken directly from the National Park Service website.
The LWCF Program provides matching grants to States and local governments for the acquisition and development of public outdoor recreation areas and facilities (as well as funding for shared federal land acquisition and conservation strategies). The program is intended to create and maintain a nationwide legacy of high quality recreation areas and facilities and to stimulate non-federal investments in the protection and maintenance of recreation resources across the United States.
Sounds good, doesn’t it? But it isn’t.
Why is it bad? Continue reading

House property rights caucus to target abuse of landowners
I do not know whether to call this good news or not. Representative Tom Reed (R-NY) has established the U.S. House Private Property Rights Caucus. It is great to know that there is finally an awareness in Washington D.C. that property rights are being abused across America, and that a coalition is being created to address it, but what a shame this is so very necessary to prevent America from becoming a society where private property is reserved only for the truly wealthy and well connected. To learn more about the caucus effort, please click on this link.
Also, please consider calling Representative Tom Reed at 202-225-3161 to thank him for his efforts.
