Rep Cormier Speaks on HB 1573

Activist Susan Olsen and NH State Rep Jane Cormier recorded a good solid radio show on the problems with the NH Regional Planning Commissions on the December 27th edition of WTPL 107.7 “The Pulse” while sitting in for Brian “Bulldog” Tilton.

They hear from noted activists Tim Carter, Ken Eyring, Skip Murphy, and Jane Aitken who call in to talk about how this issue is being brought to the attention of legislators and voters.

RPCs were created in 1969 by RSA 36 but voters feel that they have gone far beyond their purview by becoming lobbyists for the federal government, which by the way, should be illegal according to NH statutes.

RPCs have noticed activity and have stepped up their propaganda machine with communications and lobbying to the NH legislature, using our tax money of course.

When bills come up for scrutiny before committees you can be sure their representatives will be there. This means we need to be there as well.

Most legislators don’t even know what RPCs are about or what they do. Proof of this is in the email one legislator wrote to GSFs stating that he wasn’t concerned about what the RPCs were doing because after all, we “elected these folks to make decisions for us”. Trouble is, we didn’t. And as caller Dave from Weare stated, legislators need to be aware of just who is calling them to lobby for the federal government and we need to watch what deals come to these legislators as a result of these regional projects.

Listen:

GSF Propaganda Machine Fired Up

NH State Rep Jane Cormier has filed HB 1573 in an effort to fight intrusion by the federal government by way of the RPCs who seem to have become lobbyists for federal agencies and their mandates, ON OUR TAX DIME. There is already a law that says they cannot do this, BUT THEY ARE DOING IT ANYWAY.

A new law has been proposed to stop this practice across the board. HB 1560

Please support Cormier’s HB 1573. Bedford is vulnerable since now their Town Council wants to take zoning decisions out of our hands which means we would have NO oversight when it comes to HUD/EPA/DOT grants with ‘strings’ — strings that seek to alter zoning laws so the fed can impose social justice by leveling the playing field.

The Granite State Future program is not locally inspired, but rather is a federal government initiative to level the playing field in towns they see as ‘too economically or demographically homogeneous’.

Are You Ready to Abolish the RPCs in NH?

Representative Jane Cormier is on our side.

She has filed a bill in the NH legislature to abolish RPCs.

“She said that sheer number of references to the regional planning commissions in state statute belies the notion that they have only advisory authority.”

“All of those repeals,” she said. “How advisory is that?” That the commissions can be replaced by two planners at OEP, she said confirms that “municipalities will do just fine without the bloated bureaucracy,” which she described as “basically a money laundering thing.”

“The fight is on,” Cormier declared, “and we’re going for broke.”

Indeed we need to support Jane on House Bill 1573.

Canada Fights Agenda 21

Canada is not exempt from Agenda 21, regionalism and the new urbanism.

Hear Dr. Ileana Johnson Paugh who grew up under communism, talk about it. She says it’s as if the communists followed her.

The Globalization of California: Will an Unelected, Unaccountable Bureaucracy Soon Be Running Your Life?

Top Notch Agenda 21 Speakers in Los Angeles – January 12

Don’t miss the unique opportunity to hear from active experts on the advance of globalist society in California. Debbie Bacigalupi and Heather Gass will describe how Agenda 21 has fully arrived in the form of “One Bay Area” (a similar program is coming next to Los Angeles). Patrick Wood, co-author of Trilaterals over Washington will describe the emerging technocracy leading toward the creation of a scientific dictatorship, and Michael Shaw will address the emergence of Regionalism and the Bay Area lawsuit designed to reverse this reinvention of American government in its tracks. Also speaking will be Bay Area (San Carlos) and Orange County (Aliso Viejo) City Councilmen Matt Grocott and Mike Munzing. These elected officials will provide real insights as to how local government has been overwhelmed by federal pressure to accept Regional controls.

PA Officials Claim Ignorance to Agenda 21

Officials in Hellertown PA (Hellertown Borough Council), specifically Renew Lehigh Valley’s (a program similar to Granite State Future in NH) Executive Director Joyce Marin, are denying they know anything about the connection of their program, Renew Lehigh Valley, to United Nations Agenda 21.

This is the same old tactic used everywhere. These folks can pretend they don’t know what it is, but Agenda 21 is the source of the philosophy expressed on the program’s website:

“Renew Lehigh Valley is committed to promoting smart growth and smart governance in order to revitalize our core communities, preserve open space, and establish an economically and environmentally sustainable foundation for our region’s future growth.”

As we’ve posted before you can see both the federal register entry which confirms the federal government’s commitment to Agenda 21 as well as Nancy Pelosi’s floor speech about it here.

BREAKING: Seven50 Now Reduced to Four50 as Martin County Says NO

We are proud to report that Martin County will join rest of Treasure Coast in withdrawing from Florida’s Seven50 plan

Seven50 was but one of HUD’s Agenda 21 plans to control seven counties in Florida, but three have now given them the boot.


MARTIN COUNTY — After months of protest at County Commission meetings, opponents of the Seven50 plan were pleased Tuesday when commissioners voted to opt out of the plan in February.

Commissioners voted 4 to 1, with Commissioner Doug Smith dissenting, to withdraw from the regional plan after the Feb. 22 completion of a federal grant from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development for the planning process.

“That’s (Seven50) not how we want to plan,” said Commissioner John Haddox, who made the motion to opt out of Seven50. “I will not encourage top-down control government planning by applying for grants that accomplish nothing but filling planners’ pockets with taxpayers’ dollars.”

Read about the Seven50 plan here.

The Martin 912 said on their website: “Martin County constitutional conservatives owe Jackie Maimone, Sheila Donivan and Phyllis Frey their thanks for their tenacity and leadership over the past 3 months in mobilizing the Seven 50 opposition. Their focus and judgment have been outstanding throughout the process, to include selecting Jerry Kychelhahn as the Seven50 opposition spokesman at today’s decisive BCC meeting. The Martin Co. vote was a resounding success against regionalism.”

Goffstown Warrant Would Allow Rezoning

People who live along Mast Road in Goffstown, NH would be able to house their businesses in their place of residence, if this article is passed.

This was ONE of the features of Plan Pinardville that residents LIKED but could not have had without all the rest of the egregious conditions that came with the GSF proposed changes.

Town Meeting in NH, which runs anytime from January-April, is the MOST important vote you can possibly cast in NH. The Goffstown High School media center (library) will be the location for the hearing and discussion on this warrant article on January 9th, 2013.

Listen to Rep John Hikel speak about the various types of zoning in his December 16th interview with Girard at Large.
