Although many have said we should recall all the
supervisors, we can only recall the person who
represents our district. The other supervisors are
accountable to their own districts. We believe that the
board of supervisors has not supported the people in
coordinating a reasonable plan with federal and state
agencies respecting our right to retain our culture and
traditional way of life. This has given the special
interest groups who wish to control the water and lands
of our area a green light to continue to terrorize our
heritage and family farmers living in Siskiyou County.
This must stop. Our state and local agencies, such as
DFG and NCRWQCB, are tasked to advise and protect us and
our environment, not destroy our way of life. When did
they become tools of communitarians?
I believe it was Mark Twain who said, “You can fool some
of the people some of the time, some of the people all
of the time, but you can’t fool all of the people all of
the time.” This issue is not just about farmers. It will
effect all of us sooner than later. I have been out
asking people to sign our petition. I would like to
assure anyone who has signed our petition, that it is
confidential. That appears to be a concern. I find that
telling. I would like to explain to those who give
veiled threats about possible confrontations with the
rabid farmers and “property right activists” in Scott
Valley, that in fact there is no threat. Saying so
doesn’t make it true. The real threat is the constant
attack on the rights of Americans who are just farming
or living on their land.
The people of Scott Valley have been good stewards of
the land. They have supported many restoration and
habitat protection programs. Their tax dollars support
those programs and pay the salaries of the government
employees who work here. These are good people who take
care of what they have, work hard and grow the food and
raise livestock that feed our country. They support the
local economy and without them, your property and
businesses will be devalued.
Our board of supervisors supports an agenda that will
destroy our freedom, our right to own property and the
very foundation of our country. These issues are not
about fish or the environment. It is about power and
control, and it is time to look under the green mask.
We are required by our constitution to replace our
government if it does not protect our freedom, and has
become oppressive. It is time to do that, and we need to
start at home.

Against Agenda 21.com and Freedom Advocates. For an
American it’s a real gut check. We have truly been
betrayed.
