The Obama administration is set to roll out a series of climate and pollution measures that rivals any president’s environmental actions of the past quarter-century — a reality check for Republicans who think last week’s election gave them a mandate to end what they call the White House’s “War on Coal.”

Stop the EPA!
Attention all property owners.
The government will have more authority over your land if their proposed expansion of the Clean Water Act is approved. The proposal includes expanding the definition of WOTUS (water of the United States) from all navigable waters to any water that has a bed, a bank and a high water mark. This definition would allow the EPA to claim authority over virtually all US soil. If this bothers you, we have until Friday evening to place a complaint at this web site:
Click on the “Take Action Now” button, and follow the instructions. You will give your name and address and then be given a place to give your specific situation. To the right of the box is a tab labeled “talking points”. When you open this tab, you will find the type of information that will be helpful in stopping this regulation.
Please forward this information to all your neighbors.

Nashua Grant is Abject Waste of Your Tax Dollars
What an abject WASTE of our tax dollars. First off there IS NO SIGNIFICANT or UNNATURAL GLOBAL WARMING and secondly, these RPCs as we have demonstrated here many times before, are illegal, unconstitutional entities that are forcing Federal programs upon our towns, without our consent, using our tax dollars.
SB 315 Called for New Certification Board for Building Inspectors
But bill dies in committee
We’d like to have given Senator Sharon Carson the benefit of the doubt, but it was tough when her husband Gregory Carson is the lead lawyer and representative for HUD in NH.
When anyone questions the Granite State Future program, he is the one they send to put out the fires and quell the ‘myths’. Only he hasn’t convinced those who have done our homework about how intrusive and binding it is for towns, once they accept these ‘sustainability’ grants, to circumvent the mandates.
The question is, you have to wonder why his wife, Senator Sharon Carson, was sponsoring legislation to establish “the board of building officials for the certification and regulation of persons enforcing the state building code and conducting building inspections.”
As it turns out, the bill went to “interim study” which means “death with dignity”. Good thing for that. We couldn’t help but think this was yet another tactic in a multi-pronged attack on our local control, a measure being taken to ensure that the ‘board’ is zoning ordinance friendly, that is to say, zoning ordinances that come with or are changed by participation in federal grants such as Granite State Future.
Using Our Tax Dollars for Lobbying?
This is illegal, and if it’s not, it should be.
RPCs are using our tax dollars, which is how they are funded, to support or oppose legislation that they find favorable to their cause, which was handed down by the federal government.

Regionalism’s Propaganda Machine
Are people who live in cities are healthier than their rural counterparts?
Ken Burns-style video with commentary from Rosa Koire:
This is a Classic UN Agenda 21 propaganda piece. What did you learn? That people who don’t support ‘Quality Growth’ (the new term for Smart Growth) have a ‘pathological suspicion of leadership.’ We are akin to ‘those who are prejudiced.’ We’re told in this video that Smart Growth regional central planning is the key to the future and that our opposition is unfounded. The funniest thing in the piece is the admonition to planners that they not view us (the opposition) as ‘monogamous hinds.’ I think he meant ‘homogeneous’. This hokey, folksy, Ken Burns-y propaganda video is designed to shut you up and make you go away. Don’t be fooled.
If you’d like to get a true picture of what PlanET is all about, get the big picture from Democrats Against UN Agenda 21.
This is a non-partisan, worldwide, grassroots fight — blue and red together.

Best Article To Understand Regionalism
We just came across this fantastic article that really outlines the purpose and intent of “regionalism” as it is being imposed upon the people of the USA, indeed the world, albeit under programs of different titles.
It is the worst kind of top-down federal intrusion you will ever see, but sadly some still think it’s a ‘conspiracy theory’.
The article is long but here is an overview: “Met Council’s ‘Thrive’ plan has a bullying effect” by Katherine Kersten written for the St Louis Tribune on September 19, 2014.
Their regional group is called the “Metropolitan Council” which Kersten says is “our seven-county area’s unelected regional government, whose 17 members all were appointed by Gov. Mark Dayton. The council intends to use “Thrive MSP 2040,” its new 30-year development plan, to transform our housing patterns and practices. It’s determined to use the plan’s intrusive, top-down controls to make us better people, despite ourselves.
Does “Thrive MSP 2040” sound like NH’s Granite State Future program? That is because basically it is exactly like it. The programs all come from top down, fueled by federal EPA and HUD grants, and all have the same goals for each region.
Over time, Thrive will rearrange our communities around “transit-oriented development” — apartments or condos over small shops near train stations, generally subsidized by taxpayers. The plan reflects what Kotkin calls a fantasy vision of “city as adult Disneyland or ‘entertainment machine,’ chockablock with chic restaurants, shops and festivals” — the “ideal locale for hipsters and older, sophisticated urban dwellers.”
The agenda is the same — squeeze us into places where we have little mobility outside of the assigned area. After all, we will be much easier to control in this Orwellian-style arrangement, than if allowed to spread out and build in the rural areas.
In 2013, the council analyzed every census tract in the seven-county region by income, race and ethnicity. Its purpose was to identify “Racially Concentrated Areas of Poverty” and “high opportunity clusters” — essentially areas with high-performing schools and low crime rates.
It now intends to use this information to disperse people across the region in a government-sanctioned demographic mix. But it lacks the statutory authority to do so. So in its new 106-page Thrive “Housing Policy Plan,” it has concocted a scheme to compel municipalities to take the necessary steps themselves. (Public comment on the draft plan ends Friday, with adoption in November.)
This is how they plan to use the EPA/HUD/DOT to forcibly put in place the UN’s Agenda 21 plan to redistribute the wealth by integrating neighborhoods — surely you have heard about “workforce housing” coming to a town near you?
What we have here is the corralling, integrating, and restricting of the populace, all in one fell swoop. This is Agenda 21. This is the attempt to control every aspect of your lives. This is Granite State Future, and this is what you will be speaking up against when and if you attend the open public meetings scheduled for each region in NH, which are to review the regions’ Master Plans.
