Important information on 3 Bills! HB 430; HB 1160, & SB 274! KILL HB 430 HB 430 Will expand the "Regional Cooperation Incentive Fund", and allow the fund to offer an increased amount of government grant money to planning commissions that "consolidate or coordinate" with other local planners. Or in other words, regionalize. You may be wondering, what's wrong with that? Regionalization. If you don't know what it is, you will soon. It's an interim step on the road to globalization. It's another layer of government, unelected, unaccountable. Municipalities are formed into border-less groups, and allowed to development comprehensive plans and land use goals that supersede their local laws and often disregard property rights---then they'll go back to the local community and say that they are required to bring their laws and zoning into line. That's what is wrong with regionalization. And, we all know what happens when there's government money attached to something.....

So, we will call our process something else, such as "comprehensive planning" or "smart growth." -- Stated by J. Gary Lawrence of the US Smart Growth Leadership Council, in The Future of Agenda 21 in the New Millennium. HB 1160! | | Today, the Virginia State Senate held a procedural vote on House Bill 1160 (HB1160), commonly referred to as the “Virginia NDAA Nullification Bill.” There was a “motion to recommit” the bill – essentially delaying a vote on it until next year. The bill was almost put on hold as the vote in the Senate was 20-20. The Lt. Governor, though, decided that this was an issue worth voting on now, not next year, and was the deciding vote that stopped the motion. That means HB1160 will almost certainly come up for a vote in the Virginia Senate tomorrow, Tuesday, TODAY, February 28, 2012. If you live in Virginia (or know someone who does), the time to act in support of liberty is right now. Not next week. Today, not tomorrow. Now. (action steps below) The legislative goal of HB1160 is to codify in Virginia law noncompliance with what many are referring to as the “kidnapping provisions” of section 1021 and 1022 of the National Defense Authorization Act of 2012 (NDAA). The official summary of 1160: “A BILL to prevent any agency, political subdivision, employee, or member of the military of Virginia from assisting an agency of the armed forces of the United States in the investigation, prosecution, or detention of a citizen in violation of the United States Constitution, the Constitution of Virginia, or any Virginia law or regulation.” HB1160 is sponsored by Delegate Bob Marshall, who recently told The New American – “They say this law [the NDAA] is designed to fight terrorists. You don’t defeat terrorists by adopting their tactics. I will be faithful to my calling to stand against these predators who would sell their birthright for a mess of pottage.” Marshall previously reported that Governor Bob McDonnell is opposing this legislation. Residents all over Virginia are strongly encouraged to contact their Senators AND the Governor’s office in support of this legislation now. ACTION ITEMS 1.

Together, we can stand up for the Constitution and liberty! | | | | (SB274): Thank you to everyone who worked so hard to make UDAs optional. SB274 UDAs optional has passed both houses! Urban Development Areas are a Trojan horse that will usher in United Nations led control over local communities through federal grants and programs. One may assume just adopting a UDA on paper will do no harm, but adopting the plan opens the door to the whole agenda of sustainable development. Once established, developers will push to develop the UDAs because of income tax breaks and available federal grants through HUD & the Dept. of Energy.These grants come with strings attached, as you might imagine, that will forever change the county. Buildings, materials, roads, drainage, plumbing and regulations must adhere to strict environmental standards and eventually, emphasis will be placed on changing ordinances for the remainder of the county to be consistent with sustainable goals.
