We speak of other international entities that attempt to influence our culture, like Europe and the United Nations. We allow those influences to eat away at our very sovereignty and those principles that made America the greatest and most prosperous and generous nation on Earth.
Our children are being brainwashed in our schools with social equity, political correctness and radical environmentalism. Our borders are so porous that over 4,000 illegals cross into America every day, looking for that American "free" lunch, that isn't free.
We accuse the political parties of becoming one in their lust for power, by any means. We have told of the arrogance of our political leaders and how they don't want to be bothered with the "Consent of the Governed". They act unilaterally without regard to constitutional principles, or individual liberty, no matter how much we cry for redress. Only the "collective" is held in high esteem, while the individual is given little if any lip service.
But our enemy and its minions, the government and the special interests that lobby them, is formidable, wealthy and politically influential. It is superior in all respects to WE THE PEOPLE, except in numbers. All three branches of government work in concert with each other to entrench their power. It has the law, the money and the "guns" to enforce its will upon us and it does so with reckless abandon.
So how do we defeat a superior enemy? By employing the element of surprise and/or superior numbers. In a dictatorship where the dictator controls the armies and thus the "guns", defeating that type of enemy is almost impossible, without resulting in horrific death and destruction. However, in America defeating the "enemy" is not so difficult and the sacrifices are minimal, with no loss of life, if accomplished properly. If we have enough money and political will, we can use our own system of government to defeat them, either through the legislative process, or through the judicial branch in the courts.
But there is a way to convince the "enemy" to change its ways, with very little effort, provided it is done on a large enough scale (superior numbers). Gandhi called it passive resistance. Resistance to government tyranny first starts and grows in the mind. It is catalyzed by education and information about what is truly happening on many different fronts. That education and information has been on-going for decades. From that education and information, an awareness of what has and is transpiring, slowly grows throughout the culture. As it grows, resistance grows with it and spreads out exponentially to more and more people of good faith and courageous hearts.
NARLO has developed a relatively painless and simple way to pass our collective resistance on to government. Millions of American property owners have been severely damaged by government laws, ordinances, restrictions and downzones. From the Endangered Species Act, to the Clean Water Act, to more than a million other state and local laws and ordinances, along with eminent domain abuse, the government has significantly reduced the right-of-use of our property, decreased its value and deprived us of due process, in direct violation of our Constitution. In the most limited interpretation of the 5th Amendment, the government owes us "just compensation" for the damage it has wrought upon our property and our rights. The State of Oregon passed an initiative (Measure 37) that requires that compensation. Washington State tried, but the initiative (I-933) did not pass. Too many "greens" in Washington State.
Nevertheless, just about every property owner in America has seen his or her right-of-use and property values savaged by laws, ordinances, restrictions, downzones and eminent domain abuse. Each property owner so damaged has a right to file a claim with the government to receive compensation for those damages, pursuant to the 5th Amendment. To that end NARLO has prepared a special form to file a "Claim For Monetary Damages" with the government. It costs very little time to fill out the form, address the envelope and affix a stamp for mailing. That's it. If enough of us do it, the media will get wind of it and it will become national news. The government will have to listen.
Landowners by the tens of thousands need to file claims for unconstitutional damages they have sustained at the hands of an out-of-control government, who has lost all allegiance to constitutional protections and safeguards to property rights and individual liberty. The form is designed to be sent to the executive of the specific branch of government to which you are forwarding your claim: Federal, state, county or city. The form is only an example. You are free to revise it if there are specific areas or damages you would like to emphasize.
So if you are looking for a way to make a difference, log onto NARLO's website HOME page or click on "File a Claim for Monetary Damages". It will take you to an explanation of the Claim form and then on to the claim form itself.
To increase the number of people who receive your claim, besides the government executive, we suggest that copies be sent to your city, county, state or congressional legislators. It is suggested that you send copies to the directors of specific bureaucracies that may be responsible for the law or ordinance that has created the reduction in your right-of-use, or a decrease in the value of your property. We also suggest that you file copies with the local or national print or electronic news media. And finally, be sure to tell your neighbors, friends, relatives and business associates about filing a claim for their damages. Print out multiple copies of our form and pass them around to interested parties. Many individual claims from the same geographical area, like a neighborhood, will have great impact.
All of us together can make a difference! Let our collective resistance to government tyranny rise up like an approaching tsunami, so that our message of freedom, liberty and property rights will be heard loud and long in every corner of America and across the globe.

The National Association of Rural Landowners (NARLO) is a non-profit corporation, duly licensed in the State of Washington. It was formed in response to draconian land use ordinances that were passed by King County in Washington State (Seattle) in the late Fall of 2004, after vociferous opposition from rural landowners. NARLO's mission is to begin the long process of restoring, preserving and protecting Constitutional property rights and returning this country to a Constitutional Republic. Government has done a great job of dividing us up into little battle groups where we are essentially impotent at a national level. We will change all that with the noisy voices and the vast wealth tied up in the land of the American rural landowner. The land is our power, if we will just use that power, before we lose it. We welcome donations and volunteers who believe as we do, that government abuses against rural landowners have gone on for far too long and a day of reckoning is at hand. To learn more, visit our website at www.narlo.org.
President Roosevelt, in his 1933 inaugural address said, “…. The only thing we have to fear is fear itself”. I maintain that the only thing we have to fear is unbridled government. The only way unbridled government can exist is if WE THE PEOPLE allow it.
