		<description><![CDATA[In California, we have access to public lands. This was granted in an act, eons ago and
DFG gives oversight. The eception is land that is granted as an ecological preserve and
land used for military purposes.

Now I understand why all of this land is being made an ecological preserve. That’s
because some think the hardworking tax payer is not deserving to use it. Using the land
does not fit the special interest agenda. 

When we created this district we voted for funding, but we did not vote for a board. This
board was created by themselves to buy land that they want and do not allow us access.

I know that there are so many families that would love to get out and hike,  go camping, 
plink at cans with grandpa’s old .22, ride an ATV or horses. This is part of who we are,
we live in the west!  To have an agenda to change this and keep us off from the land we
bought with our hard earned tax dollars is just plain wrong!

Anyone who is paying the sales tax in Sonoma County is the rightful owner of that land,
not some self appointed board and special interest groups.  

They say they are “changing how it feels to come up the road. It WAS a wild west
mentality”  Nobody asked for this changing of our feelings, nobody appointed them with
this task. Nobody said they could buy land and deny us legal access.

I say we gain our freedom and Liberty back.  I support turning all of these lands over to
the California Department of Fish and Game for ALL of us to use.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The voters of Sonoma County TWICE approved sales tax measures to preserve this land.  Isn&#039;t this democracy, even if you don&#039;t approve?

Nobody is forced to make a deal with the Open Space District.  Mostly, they want to preserve the land AND grab the cash.

The alternative is to have it all broken down for rural castles.  Is that the goal?  You people should feel blessed to live in Sonoma County, where many have worked to preserve the best.

If you want to shoot pigs on somebody else&#039;s land, move to Idaho.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Are you recognizing the trend?



Local government in the land aquisition business (?) amid a backdrop of fiscal shortfalls.



Parking shenanigans.



Lands &#039;put aside&#039; for &#039;sanctuaries&#039;, &#039;wildlife corridors&#039;, &#039;preserves&#039;, &#039;view sheds&#039;, &#039;conservation easements&#039;, etc..



Humans walked around the landscape before UN Agenda 21/Sustainable Development.



Unless you were on another animal&#039;s menu, or on another tribe&#039;s &#039;territory&#039;, you could hike around.



See our problem is, through a concentration of wealth (that should never be allowed) globalist elitists have decided that the whole world should be their &#039;territory&#039;. By hi-jacking our government they make &#039;deals&#039; with farmers, ranchers, land owners; we&#039;ll give you 30 cents on the dollar for your land. You have to use it the way we say (not much), but you can&#039;t pass it to your kids.

Or they&#039;ll legislate, regulate, paper ag people to death, or take away their water &#039;till the land is cheap that they can monopolize it too.  

So under the guise of environmental concern (they do not care about the enviro.) they contrived a complete plan for complete control.

 

It&#039;s happening all over, even in Australia. I&#039;m pretty sure the Aborigines won&#039;t like Smart Growth. No matter, it&#039;s all part of the Plan. What they hope will be the Agenda for the 21st Century.

This courageous member of Parliament schools the room on Agenda 21, and does and admirable job of it:
