"We are farmers. We care for the land and for our livestock. It is our chosen work. And it defines us in glorious ways, but only to ourselves and with others of our persuasion. Not to the wider public, not to the masses of men and women. Not today. Today we are quaint anachronisms as disconnected from their view of the landscape and their forkful of food as the disconnect they feel with self-reliance. For the longest time we have enjoyed the assurance that has come from our own working intimacy with the practical and achievable notions of self-sufficiency. We have enjoyed our freedoms. We could plant most anything we wished. We could parent strains of livestock as we choose. We have been free and not always fully grateful for that freedom. Oft' times it would take a broadside, a sneak attack, a terrible calamity for us to rise up and realize that the core of who and what we are is deserving of our best efforts at self-preservation. When we feel something or someone tearing at our middle, if it's not too late, we do rally to save our farms, our farming and ourselves." - Lynn Miller

URGENT UPCOMING MEETING

Stand up for your rights! This will not just affect animal owners, small farmers, and large producers, but every Arkansan through the food supply. If we can get enough people to this meeting, we might be able to stop the National Animal Identification System in its cradle! Senator Holt Plans on attending and we request your presence as well:

COERCIVE PROGRAM REQUIRES MICROCHIPPING OF ANIMALS
National Animal Identification System is subject of State-wide meeting this Sunday, July 9th, 4:00 pm. Sponsored by the Arkansas Animal Producers Association, a band of small farmers, the purpose of the meeting is to encourage the State of Arkansas to opt-out of the state-optional USDA program.

WHERE: Conway, Arkansas at the Agora Center at 705 E. Siebenmorgen Road

Why does Kansas court specific high-profile national corporations and yet at the same time tax and regulate the local families and businesses of Kansans into oblivion?

Short answer:
Kansas Government takes Kansans for granted.

On July 29, 2005, President Bush signed a bill which permits and promotes the charging of tolls on existing and planned interstate highways, bridges, and tunnels. Before the passage of the bill, known as SAFETEA-LU, or “Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users”, it was generally illegal to charge tolls on roads built with Federal funds. What’s more, the tolls collected will be automatic, requiring universally compatible toll transponder tags on every vehicle.

SAFETEA-LU makes possible a variety of programs, all aimed at forcing Americans to pay to travel.

In October of 2005, The New American magazine sent me to Waco to cover the "Free Trade in the Americas" conference at Baylor University. What I personally witnessed there confirmed what I already knew, that the globalists plan to turn the entire western hemisphere into an "American Union". Such a scheme would, by definition, destroy the national sovereignty of the United States of America.

At the Baylor conference, keynote speaker Dr. Supachai Panitchpakdi, former head of the World Trade Organization, current head of the United Nations Council on Trade and Development, and a devoted communist, stated that infrastructure projects were essential in order to physically link up all the regions of a "free trade" area. The other featured globalist at the conference, Richard Fisher, the chief executive of the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas and a member of both the Council on Foreign Relations and the Trilateral Commission, insisted that the FTAA, or Free Trade Area of the Americas, must be achieved.

Eminent Domain is the issue at our doors today. We know that "the power to tax is the power to destroy." A more direct and immediately destructive power is the power to condemn private property with Eminent Domain. The current abuse of Eminent Domain for private development calls for Reform! The Reform Party of Kansas is against the use of Eminent Domain for private development.

In a government "for the people, of the people, and by the people," the power of Eminent Domain in the hands of our elected officials must be carefully scrutinized by the electorate and only tolerated with great trepidation and disappointment that a mutually satisfactory agreement could not be reached - and then only for obviously public works.

The attempt to use Eminent Domain to condemn Jerry's Bike Shop did not come from the people. It came from the efforts of a private developer that could have directly negotiated with an existing, well-established, 25-year old Topeka business, or that could have adjusted their plans to work around such a business. To see this developer instead take their case to the city government with designs to become successful with another person's property and with "forward-looking" promises to the city of increased revenue is beyond words! That a city government would even consider such a proposal is outrageous: that one person's business should be handed over to another private entity for the advancement of all but the original owner!

Many corporate, national, and international groups are taking away our rights and freedoms for their own profit. They succeed in their goals to establish global fascist feudalism primarily by dividing us, pitting each of us against our neighbors, and by trapping us in vices that put our own passions at odds with our better judgement, keeping us from uniting for our common cause of protecting our freedoms from greedy, selfish tyrants.
