Important Update on King County Department of Health proposed changes to OSS ordinance!  September 24, 2024 by Cindy Alia

It is unfortunate to have to constantly update information as it is being presented from King County DOH.  Here is what I believe to be the most recent and most accurate information to be published from the county in regard to public meetings, and the publication of the formal red line document of proposed changes to the OSS ordinances.

CAPR Comments on the federal "Sustains Act"

American Stewards of Liberty warns us of the United States Department of Agriculture is preparing policy to implement the Sustains Act.  This will monetize our "Natural Processes" and establish ownership of those processes!  

Please read this American Stewards of Liberty current Issue which describes the process and the bill, why it is harmful to all Americans, and why comment is needed.  This is not a formal rule-making comment period, but rather an agency "information gathering" period.  

Spectacular Win by NCLA Protects Property Owners from Agencies and Judicial Deference!

The New Civil Liberties Alliance has gained a huge win in protecting property owners and others from Agencies wielding judicial deference against Americans, returning due process to the rule of law to court decisions!  

"“Today’s decision vindicates the rule of law. By ending Chevron deference, the Court has taken a major step to shut down unlawful power grabs by federal agencies and to preserve the separation of powers. Going forward, judges will be charged with interpreting the law faithfully, impartially, and independently, without deference to the government. This is a win for individual liberty and the Constitution.”
— Roman Martinez, Latham & Watkins partner who delivered oral argument in the Relentless case"
