"Once again a majority of this court has proved that 'If enough people get together and act in concert, they can take something and not pay for it.' ... But theft is still theft. Theft is theft even when the government approves of the thievery... Turning a democracy into a kleptocracy does not enhance the stature of the thieves; it only diminishes the legitimacy of the government." - Justice Janice Brown dissenting opinion, San Remo Hotel v. City and County of San Francisco [24]
Sustainable Development is restructuring our lives and is targeting our children through an educational regime that seeks to develop collectivist attitudes, values, and beliefs. Sustainable Development documents expressly call for the elimination of private property [25] and the freedom that private property supports. It supplants long-standing State laws, and causes irreparable harm to our economy and our society. If individual members of our society do nothing, the continuing loss of liberty will result in increasing social confusion and discord, rising resource shortages, financial decay, and a dimming future for us and our posterity.
The looming battle of ideas should be recognized as a classic -- and perhaps ultimate – battle between Liberty and Tyranny. The social, economic, and political transformations Sustainable Development requires will mean the suppression of unalienable rights for all people. [26]
If Americans, with your help, come to a timely understanding of the threat and face the challenge squarely, the deceptive fraud of Sustainable Development will quickly come to light. Together, we will rise to restore Liberty through an orderly transition directed by reason and respect for the dignity of individual determination. The future of the freedom once taken for granted in America depends on us recognizing and countering the threats of Sustainable Development.
3 Practical Steps You Can Take to Restore and Enhance Liberty
Refuse federal money for new Sustainable Development programs that breach the American system of federalism. Transition out of established Sustainable Development programs.
1. Avoid partnerships with the federal government, NGOs, foundations and corporations that advance the anti-liberty Sustainable Development agenda. Do not surrender your constituents to the insider privilege of Sustainable Developers and their moneyed interests.
2. Understand your role in the community as a public official: to administer government in a manner that protects individual liberty and ensures equal justice.
3. Know, understand and apply the Constitution to which you swore an oath, with particular attention to Article 1, Section 8, the Commerce Clause and the 9th, 10th and 14th Amendments, which address the limitations on federal power.
