Best Ever OPRC Conference

11th Ozarks Conference on Private Property Rights -
Full Day of Information on What’s Here, What’s Coming, & What to do about it!

Don’t miss an opportunity to have a record of  the Conference to watch and study. DVDs of the Conference are available for $20, which also covers mailing costs. Send your request, with payment and number of DVDs desired to: Recording Masters, Route 1, Box 816, Cabool, MO 65689. Expect your DVDs within 2 weeks. The Conference DVD will come as a two disk set. Some at the Conference said they had trouble hearing in the gymnasium, but I am assured that the audio on the DVD is perfectly clear.

An estimated 300 people attended the 11th Ozarks Conference on Private Property Rights at the YMCA in Mountain Grove, MO on Saturday the 6th. The theme of the Conference was Agenda 21 in the Heartland – How International Becomes Local.

The event was sponsored by Ozarks Property Rights Congress. and  began with a video tribute to the late c. Russell Wood, OPRC president. Wood, who passed away in May, was the president from the group’s formation in the fall of 2000 until his passing.

The c. Russell Wood Memorial REAL Conservationist Award was presented to L. D. (Dave) Davis of Udall, Missouri. Dave is the OPRC vice president. His quiet way of  working behind the scene has been an effective asset to the success of OPRC.  He achieved harmony in working with County Commissioners, a succession of newspaper editors, and the people of Ozark County.

Ray Cunio from Sullivan, Mo started the morning session off talking about how cities and counties are adopting the United Nations Agenda 21- Sustainable Development – Smart Growth provisions through planning and zoning comprehensive plans. Cunio helped defeat one such ordinance in Franklin County, MO, which would have included regulating the dark night sky.

Finding out about the Department of Transportation Director Ray La Hood’s new proposal to make farmers get CDL licenses to operate tractors and farm machinery caused quite a stir among those listening. The proposed change also means ANYONE driving a tractor or operating any piece of motorized farming equipment would be forced to pass the same rigorous tests and fill out the same detailed forms and diaries required of semi-tractor trailer drivers. This reclassification would bury small farms and family farms in regulation, paperwork, and expense. The questions on everyone’s mind, “What are these government people thinking? Do they want to destroy American farmers’ ability to feed the country?

On the subject of feeding the country, Doreen Hannes shed light on the escalation of raids by government agencies on private food clubs that sell raw milk products. She also talked about, “Good ag gone bad” as the “Leafy Green Products Marketing Agreement” is being put into effect.  The LGPMA is part of the Good Agricultural Practices(GAPs) passed down from the FDA and the UN. This Agreement tells growers of leafy greens that they must keep all wildlife out of their fields, including frogs, in order to protect their crops from E coli and other contaminants.

Bob Parker discussed the needless devastation suffered by farmers when the Corps of Engineers blew the levee on the Mississippi River in May and destroyed 200 square miles of prime farm land. The COE is catering  to environmentalists working to turn the farm land along the Mississippi into a wetlands habitat. The food supply in the world is at a critical stage, and with our government importing 70 percent of our produce, how can anyone think it is a good idea to destroy prime American farmland?                                       

Keynote speaker Sheriff Richard Mack spoke on the importance of your local County Sheriff in protecting citizens from the intrusion of the federal government. “Your County Sheriff is the executor of the law. He has no supervisor or boss except for the people,” Mack said.

Congress passed the Brady Bill in 1994. Mack said, “So here is the U.S. Congress making an unconstitutional gun control law, requiring a county official to enforce it and pay for it, then threatening to arrest him if he refuses! What a government!”

 Sheriff Mack was the first sheriff in the nation to file a lawsuit to stop the Brady bill. That lawsuit went all the way to the Supreme Court. The Court ruled in favor of the sheriffs. “On June 27, 1997, the Supreme Court ruled that the Federal Government could not commandeer state or county officers for federal bidding.”

 The next scheduled meetings for the Ozarks Property Rights Congress are September 8 in Gainesville at  Vaught’s Family Restaurant, 7:00 p.m. and September 22 in Mountain Grove at the Hayloft Restaurant, 7:00 p.m. OPRC meetings are open to everyone.

11th Conference on Private Property Rights

The 11th Conference on Private Property Rights is scheduled for Saturday, August 6th at the YMCA in Mountain Grove, Missouri from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Sponsored by the Ozarks Property Rights Congress, this year’s conference will be a bittersweet event. In May, OPRC President c. Russell Wood passed away and his loss is deeply felt by all who knew him.  A video tribute to Russell will be presented at about 9:15 a.m. after the opening ceremonies.

The c Russell Wood Memorial REAL Conservationist Award will be presented just before noon. As in years past, the name of the recipient is not revealed until that time. The Award recipients have included, Sarah Steelman, the Texas County Commissioners, Senator Chuck Purgason, Derry Brownfield, Wanda Benton, Ray Cunio, Bob Parker, Bill and Carolin Burch, Mary Rivera, Doreen Hannes, and c. Russell Wood.

The theme of this year’s conference is Agenda 21 in the Heartland – How International Becomes Local. The lineup of expert speakers will present well researched, documented information on issues of pressing importance to citizens who are concerned with the way the country is headed.

Sheriff Richard Mack is coming in from Texas to speak on “The County Sheriff, America’s Last Hope.” He is a well known crusader for individual freedoms. 

Ray Cunio, founder of Citizens for Private Property Rights will speak on “Sustainable Development – Where the Rubber Meets The Road in Your Backyard.”

Doreen Hannes has been deeply involved in research, speaking, and writing on food issues as they pertain to the Federal and International interference with our food. She was in the courtroom in West Plains when the Morningland Dairy trial was going on and wrote extensively on the outcome and history of that family tragedy.  In  “Food is Now a Controlled Substance,” she will also talk about the USDA fining the Dollarhite family more than $90,000 for selling over $500 worth of live rabbits in a year.  Hannes said, “The recently passed and signed into law “Food Safety Modernization Act” has nothing to do with food safety and everything to do with government control.”

The flooding of over 200 square miles of  some of the world’s richest farmland when the Army Corps of Engineers blew the Birds Point Levee in eastern Missouri, has been the subject of Bob Parker’s writings and radio talks for several months. He has toured the site taken photos and talked with the victims of this fiasco, the area farmers. Parker will discuss the reason for the destruction of this farmland in his talk at the Conference.

Admission to the Conference is free, but donations are welcome. A special donation will be taken to cover Sheriff Mack’s expenses in coming to the Conference.Lunch will be the individual’s choice from the area restaurants. A list of restaurants will be provided in the Conference packet.

Making a Difference - 10th Property Rights Conference a success

Thursday, July 22nd, 2010

Umbrella Group Planned and Candidates Endorsed at
Private Property Rights Conference

    A group of private property rights protectors adopted a proposal  for a state wide umbrella organization and endorsed two candidates for the U.S. Congress at their gathering Saturday in Cabool. They also heard speeches outlining what can be done to “make a difference” in determining rules and regulations placed on the use of their land and influencing the people making those rules.
    The tenth annual Conference on Private Property Rights, sponsored by the Ozarks Property Rights Congress, heard from candidates running for offices to be decided in the upcoming elections. The OPRC group announced their endorsement of Bob Parker for the 8th congressional district seat and State Senator Chuck Purgason for the U.S. Senate.
    OPRC president Russell Wood proposed an action presented to the group by Ray Cunio to create an inclusive body to speak as one voice for the several property rights advocacy groups scattered throughout the state which were represented at the gathering. “The new entity will enable the various groups to speak with a larger voice on common matters when appropriate,”  Cunio said.
    Carolin and Bill Burch were honored with  the group’s REAL Conservationist award, given each year for extra ordinary work in the effort to preserve private property rights. Wood said their recognition was long overdue after years of tireless effort to the cause.
    Carolin Burch, when announcing the endorsement of Parker and Purgason,  pointed out that OPRC had never endorsed a candidate before, but felt they “are our people and deserve our support.”  On the state level, OPRC member Mike Lind is seeking nomination in the 143 state representative race.
    Featured speakers at the all day event, which was opened with a greeting by State Representative Don Wells, were Ray Cunio, Paul Hamby,  Doreen Hannes and Ron Calzone

No Gainesville Meeting in May

Property Rights Meeting – May 28
Hayloft Restaurant – Mountain Grove – 7:00 p.m.

President’s Message by c. Russell Wood

    Note: I have not lost sight of the fact that we, as PRC, deal in matters affecting Private Property Rights and address other concerns through other means. However, it is not a stretch to acknowledge this venomous bilge spewed from Washington discussed below, as it clearly states the attitude of government employees toward common citizens. How could these people have any respect for private property, when they obviously have no respect for the private citizens who inhabit this land.  c.RW

HOMELAND SECURITY HEAD IS SCARED OF EVERYDAY CITIZENS

     
   If the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) head thinks Christians, veterans, anti-abortionists, gun control opponents, critics of free trade and illegal immigration; protectors of civil liberties and same sex marriage opponents are dangerous, she would have been quaking in her boots at the TEA PARTY  I attended.
   The DHS Assessment of Rightwing Extremism publication mentions all the above as potential terrorists as the “current economic and political climate is fueling resurgence in radicalization and recruitment” (Their words). A person needs to hold just one of these beliefs to merit watching, according to the alert sent to law enforcement offices nationwide.
   The TEA PARTIES sprang up as citizens looked for a way to express their dissatisfaction at big government’s big and irresponsible spending . They were poo-pooed and ridiculed by the national media and Washington politicians. But from what I saw, a cross section of south central Missourians were voicing their concern for what is happening in our nation. It`s not necessarily a one party issue or just an administration issue. The people are smart enough to know that Washington is running amuck.
   One faction I observed that stuck out was the veterans in attendance. I`m not talking about recent returnees from Iraq. These were veterans who identified themselves as WWII, Korean, Viet Nam, Desert Storm, etc. soldiers. Folks who have a whole lot more invested in our country than I have. When our leaders conduct our nations business in such a manner that these veterans feel the need to get out and raise their voices in protest , you`d think the powers that be would take a second look at what they are doing. But, instead of listening, they are sickening law enforcement on the dissenters in a blitz to discredit and scare off the citizens they are supposed to be serving.
   Back to the DHS publication. I read it and you should too. It’s a lot worse than just warning about returning veterans, as the national media is portraying. The writer or writers of this document have either a deranged mind or have never ever been made aware of the world and the people that exist west of the Washington D.C./ New York City vacuum.
   The eight page document mentions rightwing extremist 38 times referencing those mentioned above, but does not mention  left wing extremists such as animal rights terrorists, and eco-terrorists who take credit for burning sub-divisions, car dealerships, ski resorts.
   They define rightwing extremists as being either “hate groups” or “anti-government, rejecting federal authority in favor of state or local authority .” They say this “may include groups and individuals who are dedicated to a single issue such as opposition to abortion or immigration.”
   Well, I’ll tell you, I’ve read the unclassified / for official use only Intelligence and Analysis Assessment on Rightwing Extremism and I attended a rally conducted by these so called potential terrorists.  I live among these people who think they have the right to believe as they choose without being threatened or intimidated by those who are supposed to work for them. These people are called Americans. I’ll take them, every time, over the bureaucrats who are scared to death of everyday citizens.
   The scary people we need to watch out for are the Nuts who are spewing out this kind of bigotry and ignorance from Washington.

There will be No Gainesville meeting in May!

Legislative Alert – Bills that must NOT be passed

Contact your Senators and Representatives in Washington. Tell them you are opposed to these bills.
S787 Title: A bill to amend the Federal Water Pollution Control Act to clarify the jurisdiction of the United States over waters of the United States.
Sponsor: Sen Feingold, Russell D. [WI] (introduced 4/2/2009)      24 Cosponsors
Latest Major Action: 4/2/2009 Referred to Senate committee. Status: Read twice and referred to the Committee on Environment and Public Works. Missouri’s Senator Kit Bond is a member of the Environment and Public Works committee. As yet, there is no bill # in the House of Representatives, but this (S787) has the same goal as HR 2421 put out by Rep. James Oberstar last year.
   Points to use when in contact with your Senators and Representatives (American Land Rights Association)
1.     The jurisdiction of federal agencies under the Clean Water Act of 1972 should remain limited to navigable waters and not expanded to include all waters of the U.S., such as wetlands, sloughs, meadows, intermittent streams, prairie potholes, ponds, playa lakes, mudflats and sandflats. 
2.  Jurisdiction of the Corps and EPA under the Clean Water Act should remain the same as it is now after the two Supreme Court decisions. 
3.  Congress should not gut the word “navigable.”  It should stay meaning what the Supreme Court said it meant.
4.  The definition of wetlands under federal jurisdiction should be limited to those areas that are permanently wet or free flowing.
5.  The Clean Water Act 1972 should not be used as tools for national land use controls.
6.  The Clean Water Act of 1972 should not be expanded to include “activities affecting waters.”
7.  The U. S. Supreme Court decisions  (Rapanos and SWANCC) of 2006 and 2001 that ruled in favor of local government and landowners should not be overturned by the proposed Clean Water Restoration Act (CWRA).
8.  The attempt by some Members of Congress to return the Jurisdiction of the Corps of Engineers to what it was before the Rapanos and SWANCC Supreme Court Decisions of 2006 and 2001 should not go forward
9.  The U.S. Supreme Court greatly clarified the Wetlands issues in the Rapanos and SWANCC Supreme Court Decisions of 2006 and 2001.  The Supreme Court established clear limits to the jurisdiction under the 1972 Clean Water Act.  The Corps and EPA are trying to ignore the two Supreme Court Decisions.
10.  Mostly dry land and isolated wetlands should be excluded from federal jurisdiction as intended by the Clean Water Act of 1972.
11.  The definition of pollutants under the Clean Water Act of 1972 should not include clean fill or natural material of any kind.
12.  The term ‘discharge’ should not apply to the disturbance of soils or natural materials.
13.  Citizens cited for violation of regulations under the Clean Water Act of 1972 should not face criminal penalties.
14. National Water Quality goals should be achieved without violating constitutionally protected property rights.
15. National Water Quality goals are best achieved by local and state governments, rather than by federal agencies.
16. Nat. Water Quality goals should consider priorities and costs. 
16. National Water Quality goals should consider regional differences in landscapes and other ecological characteristics.
Please do not give the Corps of Engineers or EPA increased power to regulate more private land or allow them in my backyard.

HR 875, HR 759, HR 1332, S 425, S 510
All of these bills, plus several others, allegedly have to do with “food safety.” HR 875 is called the Food Safety Modernization Act.
   In the definitions section a ‘food production facility” means any farm, ranch, orchard, vineyard, aquaculture facility, or confined animal-feeding operation. There are no exclusions for home gardeners. The ability to have backyard gardens, farmers’ markets, and locally grown produce are in grave danger with this bill. And on pages 71 and 72 it mentions NAIS by name, and gives the USDA authority to implement the National Animal Identification System.

More on the Rightwing Extremism report from DHS

The Department of Homeland Security report is officially called: Assessment: (U//FOUO) Rightwing Extremism: Current Economic and Political Climate Fueling Resurgence in Radicalization and Recruitment and can be found in its entirety on www.thomasmore.org
    The Thomas More Law Center, a national public interest law firm based in Ann Arbor, Michigan, announced that yesterday evening it filed a federal lawsuit against Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano.  The lawsuit claims that her Department’s “Rightwing Extremism Policy,” as reflected in the recently publicized Intelligence Assessment, “Rightwing Extremism: Current Economic and Political Climate Fueling Resurgence in Radicalization and Recruitment,” violates the civil liberties of combat veterans as well as American citizens by targeting them for disfavored treatment on account of their political beliefs.
   Richard Thompson, President and Chief Counsel of the Thomas More Law Center stated, “Janet Napolitano is lying to the American people when she says the Report is not based on ideology or political beliefs. In fact, her report would have the admiration of the Gestapo and any current or past dictator in the way it targets political opponents.  This incompetently written intelligence assessment, which directs law enforcement officials across the country to target and report on American citizens who have the political beliefs mentioned in the report, will be used as a tool to stifle political opposition and opinions.  It will give a pretext for opponents of those Americans to report them to police as rightwing extremists and terrorists.  You can imagine what happens then.”
   The Report specifically mentions the following political beliefs that law enforcement should use to determine whether someone is a “rightwing extremist”:
• Opposes restrictions on firearms
• Opposes lax immigration
• Opposes the policies of President Obama regarding immigration, citizenship, and the expansion of social programs
• Opposes continuation of free trade agreements
• Opposes same-sex marriage
• Has paranoia of foreign regimes
• Fear of Communist regimes
• Opposes one world government
• Bemoans the decline of U.S. stature in the world.
• Upset with loss of U.S. manufacturing jobs to China and India . . . and the list goes on
   Mr. Thompson also stated, “This is not an intelligence report but a diatribe against those who oppose the policies of the Obama administration.  It is a declaration of war against the American people and our constitution.  It is a prelude to extreme gun control legislation and hate speech laws targeting Christian churches and others who oppose abortion and same sex marriage.  The federal government should be focusing its attention on the 35 radical Muslim compounds in the U.S. training its followers on how to kidnap and kill Americans.” 

The Thomas More Law Center defends and promotes America’s Christian heritage and moral values, including the religious freedom of Christians, time-honored family values, and the sanctity of human life.  It supports a strong national defense and an independent and sovereign United States of America.  The Law Center accomplishes its mission through litigation, education, and related activities.  It does not charge for its services.  The Law Center is supported by contributions from individuals, corporations and foundations, and is recognized by the IRS as a section 501(c)(3) organization.  You may reach the Thomas More Law Center at (734) 827-2001 or visit our website at www.thomasmore.org.
   So now we know where the MIAC Strategic Report on the Modern Militia Movement originated that was signed onto by Governor Nixon and the Missouri Highway Patrol earlier this year.
