Kelo
v. New London jerked the blinders from Americans. It
proved: Yes, It Can Happen in Your Back Yard.
An
ESA on steroids will negatively impact your property rights and
freedom. The answer that actually saves American resource providers
and property rights is Total and Full Repeal of the
Endangered Species Act. TESRA would make resource providing a
paragraph in a history book.
The
answer is not TESRA. Total Repeal is the only honest
answer to the scourge that has sought to wipe America's slate of her
faithful and honorable, hardworking private property owners and the real
stewards of species, both great and small.
A
thoughtful read of the words that make up this acronym -- The Threatened and
Endangered Species Recovery Act of 2005 -- should, in and of itself, run up
a raft of Red Flags.
Nothing
in the ESA is being "reformed" -- unless by using that word the
meaning is: "Made more Draconian" and made worse so as to remove
more and more resource providers from their ability to provide. Newly added
-- but never defined -- phrases like "Candidate Species" and
"Monitor Species" also smack of the Intent to strip more and more
property rights from those already made into the REAL endangered species:
farmers, fishermen, loggers, miners, and ranchers. This is NOT about
"saving" any alleged "endangered" or
"threatened" specie. If it were, it would be giving back to
private ownership (and I do NOT mean to "The Nature Conservancy"
or to "land trusts")
TESRA,
like the ESA, is a freedom stealer. It is not about "saving"
anything. It is about Controlling Everything. We must not allow Any Version
of the ESA to continue adding pages to Victim Directories http://www.propertyrightsresearch.org/2005/articles05/victimsdirectoriesfrms.htm
Tom
DeWeese (American Policy Center), Margaret Byfield (Wayne Hage's daughter,
Stewards of the Range & Liberty Matters), Oregon attorney Jim Buchal,
Leo Schwartz (The Virginia Land Rights Coalition), R.J. Smith
(Competitive Enterprise Institute) and others, have valid concerns that
continue to be “untouchable” by most media. This fact only gives our
concerns more credibility.
There
is so much to lose with TESRA -- far worse than the ESA -- and so much to
gain and regain by Total Repeal of the ESA. Every recreationist in
America will see the loss of access for recreation continue, until there is
no access left. It's called incrementalism. It's like a slow-acting poison,
but the end result is the same.
Many,
many people have been hoodwinked by Language Deception, which speaks volumes
for its employment as a weapon of mass destruction.
Wouldn't
we call almost six million acres of forest -- and the homes and ways of life
that have gone up in smoke in America, this year alone -- mass destruction?
Where are the self-proclaimed "environmentalists" and their hue
and cry when 6,000,000 acres of supposedly prized "habitat" burns?
Ah, they are silent, and that silence speaks volumes.
Continued
incremental taking of the water responsibly utilized by farmers and
irrigators to grow food to feed us all, is another means of Control of Land,
Water and People, thereby Taking Property Rights and Freedom.
This
is a warning to all resource providers (ranchers, farmers, irrigators,
loggers, miners, commercial fishermen) that the Intent, Plan, Agenda, etc.,
is to rid America of all that dare think they have property rights and
should be able to responsibly utilize resources.
Many
in positions of power intend to eradicate everyone who owns an operational
farm, hatchery, forest, mine, mill, ranch, etc. TESRA is one of their tools.

seeking more information on this abomination known as TESRA and its hidden
dangers, please visit http://www.propertyrightsresearch.org/esaframes.htm
at your earliest convenience.
We
can gift current and future generations of Americans with the twin
gifts of property rights and freedom -- but we have much educating of
elected officials yet to do.
TESRA
is worse than the ESA and Saves Nothing, while expanding to Control
Everything.
And
that is the Truth.
