The Ongoing Saga of Martha Boneta and Her Fight to Keep Her Farm
The Daily Signal has the full story.
A well-funded, politically influential environmental group based in Fauquier County, Va., stands accused of colluding with government officials and real estate moguls to force a local farmer into selling a highly coveted parcel of land.
The Piedmont Environmental Council, a 501(c)(3) tax exempt group, and the husband-wife real estate team of Phillip and Patricia Thomas, who are members of the PEC, lobbied a zoning administrator and members of the elected county Board of Supervisors to issue zoning citations against the property, according to a lawsuit filed in the Fauquier County Circuit Court last September.
Matthew Vadum, a senior editor with the Capital Research Center, which studies funding of politically aligned non-profits, describes the PEC as a “well-funded activist group” that is well-positioned to wage legal battles. Indeed, between 2008 and 2012, the PEC pulled in almost $26 million, according to its most recent IRS Form 990.

This Will Be NH Courtesy of RPCs if NOT STOPPED
Is Orwell’s 1984 coming to Rhode Island?
It sure sounds like it. Although this article makes it sounds like these plans are the work of Obama, in reality, this agenda has been in place for a very long time. Obama just happens to be one of the most willing to see them through.
Obama said he would use HUD and the EPA to redistribute the wealth and equalize neighborhoods for demographics and income levels.
“In a Nov. 18 letter to the Rhode Island Division of Planning, a bipartisan group of five legislators urged the state not to pass RhodeMap RI, calling the plan “unacceptable and a hijacking of government resources.”
The project is designed to drive residents into more densely packed urban centers where people will live in something they describe in terms usually reserved for Disney’s Epcot — futuristic, clean, prosperous.
Critics say it’s social engineering of the worst sort, something that will destroy local land-use planning while only giving lip-service to green energy and a classless community.”
We repeat: If something isn’t done about this at the local level, if the feds are not banished from interfering in our local zoning and planning laws, NH will see the same fate.
Obama Readies Slew of Executive Actions
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.
