 Take the time to defend your liberties! Comments made to the EPA about proposed rules are important steps that citizens must engage in to protect themselves from Government over-reach. In these two instances, Waters of the United States Proposed Rule, the EPA intends to claim jurisdiction over nearly every drop of water in the U. S.  This will have a negative impact on the economy, our food supply, and private property.  Please read attached articles to inform your opinion, and then comment at this link.  The proposed rule was published in the Federal Register on Monday, April 21, 2014.

The arrogant and blatant disregard for citizens' land uses is rampant. What makes these people think they have the right to monitor this man's land use?  If what he does fits his agenda, but not the agenda of government, then he must be targeted?  Rules are ignored, and the entire land is monitored, though only a portion is regulated.

  CAPR ACTION ALERT! Please read this carefully!  The EPA is rule making again, this time to ease the process of garnishing the wages of individuals who owe the US government money.  The EPA has set a very short comment period which ends 8/01/2014  Commenting is how we as individuals may stop this, and your comment will protect yourselves and other American citizens. Commenting must be received prior to 8/01/2014 Quoting directly from the Federal Register:

People are wondering how the Notice of Final Policy of the Fish and Wildlife Service will impact them and their properties.  This article takes a look at both the notice and what the author thinks will happen.  The phrase  “significant portion of its range” (“SPR”) is up to determination, and that is always concerning to anyone who wants know law. The immediate red flag here is the claim by the government that the application of this new policy will be relatively uncommon.  Relative to what is the question begged, if it is relative to what the agencies have done in the past, this is alarming!  This well researched article will provide the reader with much useful information.

Plan Bay Area, a climate change based land use and transit plan in San Francisco and environs was challenged by Pacific Legal Foundation on behalf of Bay Area Citizens and was rejected by Alameda County Superior Court Judge Evelio Grillo who said that state state law required the agencies to develop a plan that would meet greenhouse gas-reduction targets.

Much of what is said in this article makes sense.  But caution is advised in Washington State when the proposed sale of lands to "private" often translates to sales to Environmental Corporations.  In that case, nothing changes nor is Liberty gained. http://www.omakchronicle.com/news/2013/oct/23/sagebrush-rebellion-alive-well/
