This is it -- We must act NOW!

As early as July 13 of NEXT WEEK the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee will vote on bill that SPELLS DOOM FOR PRIVATE PROPERTY RIGHTS, LANDOWNERS, AND LOCAL ZONING.

Sen. Craig Thomas’ "National Heritage Partnership Act" (S. 2543) would create a federal National Heritage Areas program that threatens to swallow every community in the United States.

The National Heritage Partnership Act is a FEDERAL ZONING scheme perpetrated under the guise of preservation.

It will spur a FLOOD of National Heritage Areas, each of which will DEVOUR private property rights and local land use control.

Funding for National Heritage Areas is administered through the National Park Service to Green special interest groups. The Park Service and the Greens then team-up to preserve EVERYTHING within the Heritage Area that they deem fit! It says so right in the text of Thomas’ bill!

S. 2543 calls for the creation of "an inventory of the natural, historical, cultural, educational, scenic, and recreational resources of the National Heritage Area related to the national significance and themes of the National Heritage Area that should be PROTECTED."

GOT THAT? That means EVERY SQUARE INCH of a National Heritage Area can be subject to the preservation whims of the federal government and their Green allies.

Private property rights are LOST.

Local control over zoning and land use is LOST.

The National Heritage Areas Policy Act is the latest attempt by the federal government to snuff-out property rights and purchase influence over local communities and their zoning practices.

S. 2543 MUST BE STOPPED! WE MUST ACT NOW!
