Reasons to vote NO on any "Open Space" Bond.

 

Reason #1.  Conservation easements don't "protect", they RESTRICT.  

Proponents keep you focused on the horror of huge out of state developers.  But short-sightedness and good intentions can be fatal.  Conservation easements also restrict any "non-agricultural commercial use".  That, my friend, includes small family businesses:  

  • Your daughter loves German Shepherds and wants to build a kennel to raise, train and sell them?  Can't do it!  

  • Son is a bike enthusiast and wants to open a bike shop?  Conserving Carolina says NO!

  • Mom is a great cook who wants to open a local cafe?  Or a talented quilter who wants to open a quilt shop?  No way! She's a virus in the earth! 

  • What about a Tai-kwan-do academy on the property?  A day care center?  A Christian School?  No, no, HELL NO! 

 

Reason #2.  These easements are FOREVER.   Today's farmer receives the bribe money; tomorrow's generations wear the chains.  

 

Reason #3.   Those pushing the bond have a history consistent and similar to the First Plank of Communist Manifesto: Abolition of property in land and the application of all rents of land to public purposes.  

  • For example, Chuck McGrady.  He's a past president of the National Sierra Club, Conserving Carolina, and Friends of DuPont Forest: 

    • The Sierra Club exists solely for public control of land.

    • Conserving Carolina has befuddled land owners into giving them 50,000+ acres, with no end in sight.

    • Friends of DuPont Forest forced Jim Anthony to sell his land to the State.

  • The Trust for Public Land.  The name speaks for itself.

Friends, if these people are for it, I'm agin' it!    

 

 

Reason #4 - Warnings from our wise Founding Founders:

Thomas Jefferson: "The true foundation of republican government is the equal right of every citizen in his person and property, and in their management."  He added "the defense of private property is the standard by which every provision of law, past and present, shall be judged." James Madison: "Government is instituted to protect property.  It is not a just government, nor is property secure under it, where [there are] arbitrary restrictions."

 

Alexander Hamilton: "In the general course of human nature, a power over a man's subsistence [i.e., property] amounts to a power over his will." (Emphasis Hamilton's)

 

 

Legally PROTECTED property rights with their accompanying private enterprise opportunities have been the greatest wealth generator in history.  They are the well-spring of America's freedom and greatness.

 

Legally RESTRICTED property rights heads us back towards the European serfdom that we fought against 250 years ago.

Earnestly,

 

Janice Parker Hendersonville NCP.S. It's not for no reason that God says "Thou shalt not covet anything that is thy neighbor's" and "Thou shalt not steal".  "Easement" is such a gentle, non-threatening term, right?  But it's really coveters easing their way in, gaining control, entangling their way into our lives.
