Open Letter to NH Legislators

Dear Legislators,

I was recently sent a very important article that I urge you to read and share.

Look up these plans for California, Florida or Alabama by checking out Plan Bay Area, Seven50, or CLEAR Plan 2030 (http://clearplan2030.org/) Those are only a few of the cookie cutter plans funded by HUD grants, and they are not "community based" in any way.

The article below cites a 'study' from the National Academy of Sciences that recommends the US adopt Agenda 21 by executive order and suspension of the Constitution.

While it claims that the US has NOT officially adopted Agenda 21 (a plan conceived at a UN Conference in RIO 1992) we all know that NH's 9 regional planning commissions along with private 'stakeholders' (corporations and NGOs) have been attempting to infuse those very ideas and principles into every aspect of our lives here in NH via a grant program called Granite State Future.

While the UN works hard to do the impossible task of scrubbing its website of thousands of references to Agenda 21, a group called "Committee on Sustainability" has recommended it be implemented and even called it by name.

In the article entitled "Restructure US government to make “huge” green changes in America, study proposes" we read:

"The study also calls for installing sustainability in the “culture of government” and recommends that the U.S. look for inspiration to a number of “national sustainable development strategies” adopted under the United Nation’s controversial Agenda 21, a highly detailed blueprint for reworking the global economy and environment that was reaffirmed at last year’s Rio + 20 summit on sustainable development."

"The sponsoring agencies include the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), NASA, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the Department of Energy  and Agriculture, and a handful of private donors, including BP, Lockheed Martin, and the David and Lucille Packard Foundation."

Further, calling for a 'new system of government organization' the study blatantly cites the Constitution and our form of government as 'impediments'.

"One of the major impediments, the study says, is created by America’s “basic framework of government, established by law,” which is “one of separated and dispersed authority,” in which “government agencies at all levels -- federal, state, local, tribal and even international -- can only do what they have been authorized to do by their governing authorities -- namely, Congress, state legislatures, etc.” -- not to mention the U.S. Constitution."

In NH, the RPCs cited similar concerns about how they would need to overcome "NH's strong tradition of individual property rights" in order to accomplish their goals. (from New Hampshire Sustainable Communities Initiative Project Summary Application)

Here is the article about the study:

Also, on the July 9th episode of Coast to Coast AM, a guest speaker and rancher from the midwest who has studied this issue spoke for two hours about the tentacles of these "sustainable communities initiatives". A caller also talked about The American Community Survey, an intrusive effort by the federal government to pry information from homeowners and farmers that recently had federal agents stalking and threatening some of the uncooperative recipients right here in NH. The guest described the various ways in which numerous agencies are attacking us with this insidious agenda.

Finally, don't miss this excellent LTE in which a NH resident who has been following Granite State Future in the lakes region adeptly explains  what is going on. It is typical of what is going on in every state, whether anyone wants admit it or not.

The legislature created this monster called 'regional planning commissions' in 1969. But now that these unelected boards have overstepped their original purpose and have become lobbyists and enablers for the feds, it's time to rein them in or dissolve them altogether. The residents of NH are NOT interested in giving up local control for a centralized, regional government with planning dictated by unelected bureaucrats who make decisions based on federal grants and the resulting mandates.
