CAO & THE APRIL 2013 SAN JUAN COUNTY, WA ELECTION

 The CAO is such an important topic of focus concerning this April’s County Council election. It is more about how the new council members will view “citizens’ rights” than with the environment. The leaders our County needs to thrive will have broad backgrounds in business, local economics, environmental and conservation as well as private property issues, broad base of ...job creation experience, management experience in private enterprise and volunteer organizations large and small, community service on several levels and understanding the current and future needs of our County.
A Council member whose career focus has been on environmental and conservation issues, low income housing and nonprofit organizations, the “New Economics” of justice and equality in property and income for everyone will have a disastrous impact on every aspect of the County. It is difficult for anyone to take away any of our constitutional rights, including private property rights. Therefore, the only way to remove those rights is to pass legislation that makes it virtually impossible to exercise them. Through a very complex CAO plan and regulatory system (a solution looking for a non-existent problem) the County can make it extremely difficult and expensive to own private property. Under these types of regulations you must prove in advance you have the right to cut a tree down or plant a garden. Whether or not your action was in a problem to the environment, you can be fined heavily and be forced to pay for restoration of your own land.
Don’t believe it? Recently it has proven to be impossible to remove our second amendment rights as stated in the Constitution of the United States. Therefore, Senators and Representatives like Feinstein, Schumer, Maloney and others are proposing to make it so expensive to own a gun through mandatory insurance, fees and fines that most citizens will be unable to exercise their constitutional right.
They can’t take away your rights, but they can suppress them.
Support candidates who represent everyone’s rights and best interests in environmental and community issues, the economy, jobs and health.
Vote: Rick Hughes – Bob Jarman – Brian McClerren
