The farmer couldn't believe what he was hearing. He talked to others and they couldn't believe it either. But we can believe it, because that is what we have come to. It has gone way beyond George Orwell's 1984. It is approaching the 1930's Nazi state. The environmental police have invaded every level of government, politician and bureaucrat alike.
In any event, the farmer found out about NARLO from a referral and visited our website. He called us on our 1 800 line and we talked for about a half hour. We told him about some of his options and who he could contact for help. We talked about how the city folk and the powerful environmental organizations were using government to drive this unconstitutional environmental insanity down our throats and how rural landowners were a disenfranchised, unrepresented minority with almost no chance of redress, unless we get together to fight this gross injustice.
He was very grateful to know that there was a national organization out there that was concerned about the plight of the rural landowner. He couldn't wait to join our efforts.
To add to this story, we uncovered a draconian Bill in a state legislature that almost became law this year. It pitted neighbor against neighbor. Essentially, the law would not only authorize, but encourage neighbors to sue their neighbor in any state court over a perceived environmental code violation. It also authorized monetary damages and attorneys fees for the plaintiff. We have no doubt that these liberal legislators will push the Bill until it does become law, to pander to the environmental lobby, to which they owe so much. It will also be done to send a message to all who would dare violate the inviolate law of the cult of environmentalism. Comply or suffer dire consequences.
This kind of draconian environmental insanity is going on in every local law-making body, every state legislature and the U. S. Congress, every single day. It will continue to GO ON until rural landowners wake up to the vicious attack being perpetrated on them by a government that has lost all allegiance to the U. S. and state constitutions. If we do not hold this government to its constitutional limits, there will be NO limits on government power, whatsoever.
This is truly a national battle because all of what we see at the state and local levels is filtering down from Europe, the United Nations, the U. S. President and the Congress. We can fight locally, but we are only fighting a symptom, not the root cause. It is like taking an aspirin for a brain tumor. We either beat this evil at a national level, or lose everything at the state and local level. We must coalesce on a grand scale at a national level, or we have no hope of arresting this head-long, downhill slide into the abyss of radical environmentalism and ultimately a police state.
If you are looking the other way, hoping that it will not reach out one day and touch you, you are living in a virtual dream world, that has no basis in reality. And don't think that just because you live in a city that you are immune to what is now being visited upon the rural landowner. Perhaps you have forgotten about government eminent domain abuse and the fraud that is man-caused global warming regulations, levied upon you by your benevolent, they-know-what-is-good-for-you, all-wise government. But then you are free to do so because after all, it's a free country, isn't it? Or is it?
