		<description><![CDATA[There are so many new rules for us that they must use citizens to rat out their neighbors. The new Big Brother police state can&#039;t possibly enforce everything without the help of the green Kool-aid drinking duped public.   By the time these unwitting greenshirts realize that they are assisting in the dismantling of our once great nation it will be too late for their kids too.

In fact, Sonoma County has been unofficially named &quot;ground zero&quot; for the implimentation of the globalist UN Agenda 21 Sustainable Development plan.  They, (who are they?) includes the World Bank, many multi-national corporations, 179 nations that are implementing UN Agenda 21, countless thousands of NGOs (non-governmental organizations), environmental non-profit groups, the Democratic Party, communists, who did I miss?  In Hitler&#039;s days, wherever 3 people were gathered one was a spy.  

During my about 7 years of resisting the Sustainable Development sweep here in Sonoma County we&#039;ve had spies sent into every political meeting we ever held.  We are dealing with a serious well-organized force that watches our every move.  As the regime ramps up and takes over all systems and information, pretty soon everybody will be monitored and then controlled.  That&#039;s the main tool they will be using, information gathering and sharing between nations, NGOs, corporations and other willing participants.  Our government sees nothing wrong with giving out our information to other nations which of course includes enemies of the United States.  I assert that we are &quot;occupied&quot; by hostile forces right now in the United States. I believe that the unthinkable has already happened and we are living under an occupying force. We are the Resistance.

Spies, under the auspices of ICLEI (that&#039;s here to help) have reshaped our government from the inside out by changing policies in nearly every area of the United States already.  Merely &quot;kicking ICLEI out&quot; is not enough because the Agenda 21 policies are already in place.  Until we can educate and convince our elected officials that this is and has happened, only then will we have any chance of rolling back the advancement of the new regime.  The new regime acts as a shadow government through unelected boards and commissions, government agencies and groups empowered with grants of our tax dollars.  The additional 5-6 trillion the Obama administration spent in 4 years went a long way in implementing UN Agenda 21 Sustainable Development.

No matter how far they have already advanced it is still not too late to resist.  Help your neighbor, don&#039;t report them.  Don&#039;t fill out any questionaires and spread the word about what the words Sustainable Development really means for Americans. This is the time to see what you are made of.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[From FAQs on why the ban of all fireplace burning on Spare the Air days.

&quot;Why aren’t I allowed to burn in EPA-certified wood stoves, fireplace inserts or pellet stoves during a Winter Spare the Air Alert?&quot;

&quot;While they burn more cleanly, these wood-burning devices still emit fine particulate air pollution and when the wintertime air pollution reaches unhealthy levels, any burning contributes to excessive air pollution. Therefore, in order to protect the public health of Bay Area residents, the Air District must reduce fine particulate air pollution by banning burning in all types of wood-burning devices on these days.&quot;

Everyone&#039;s entitled to their own opinion but not their own set . . . . 

I retract my previous suggestion that people opposed to clean air might consider Montana as a new home.  More a more appropriate residence by far is Beijing.  Then one can burn away.]]></description>

Those that do burn use wood stoves, wood stove inserts or pellet stoves, all of which release very little compared to the old days.

But if you put into place some logical verification system that could easily be done by licensing Chimney Sweeps then that would defeat the whole idea of inspectors sneaking around and neighbor reporting neighbor.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Air quality is a racket?! Who would have thought?  

As one who opposes government overreach in many areas, I&#039;m happy to acknowledge its occasional benefits.  I remember well the putrid air on some winter nights when everyone had their fireplaces roaring.  

It&#039;s not rocket science to know that too many burning fireplaces on still nights fouls the air.  That there are other, cleaner ways to heat a home is also obvious.  If some think that&#039;s violation of their Constitutional rights, well, they&#039;re wrong and they probably need to move to Montana.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#039;m so sick of the overreaching government. Where is the analysis Mr. Richardson is speaking of? Is it the same analysis that CARB used to put many trucking companies out of business because of &quot;particulate matter&quot;? Who performed this analysis? What is the scientific basis for it? Oh wait, doesn&#039;t matter, the ALMIGHTY air agency has spoken! Us peons can&#039;t question this government agency, we are mere Sheeple who grovel at their feet in hopes of being allowed to avoid paying the excessive PG&amp;E rates heat our homes. How much did PG&amp;E bribe the Legislature to get this whole air quality racket going? 

Glad the government encourages neighbors to report their neighbors. Makes for a great community. The Nazis encouraged this too. Well, since the government is working on implementing more restrictive gun laws (hmmm, like the Nazis did), even though not one of Obama&#039;s suggestions would have stopped the recent school shooting, I guess ratting out your neighbor when he/she is trying to heat their house makes just as much sense. 

I&#039;ll be sure to check the internet to see if the government has granted me permission to efficiently heat my house on Saturday. Oh what a pleasure it would be to get permission.]]></description>
