The plan would give the government new powers to seize key companies whose failure jeopardizes the financial system, as well as creation of a watchdog agency to look out for consumers’ interests.

Again, the “foxes” want to guard the hen house.  They’ll be given “new powers”, as if they already haven’t caused enough damage. And they’re not even a “federal” agency.

SNCA Action Alert

The House Judiciary II Committee sent notice today that the committee will be considering annexation bills This week at both the Tuesday June 16th AND Thursday June 18th meetings.

The House Judiciary II Committee meets as follows:

10:00 am

Room 421

Legislative Office Building

300 N. Salisbury St. • Raleigh, NC 27603-5925

Downtown Raleigh

THE ONLY TWO BILLS THAT ARE ON THE AGENDA ARE H727 and H524!!!!

NO MENTION OF HOUSE BILL 645!!!

H727 is the House bill that matches Senator Tony Rand’s “League of Municipalities Bill”

H524 is the bill that is the result of the Study Commission recommendations.

H524 would accomplish the following things:

- prohibit strip annexations

- increases the density a little

- prohibit annexation of half of a neighborhood

- victims get notice of annexation sent by certified mail

- victims get more information about the process and how to challenge an annexation

- victims get long term financing for the water & sewer infrastructure they didn’t need or want

- GIVES AREAS ON CENTRAL WATER AND SEWER A VOTE!! AND NO ONE ELSE!!

(why has this grossly unfair idea been kept alive for the last two years?????)

H524 would change voluntary annexations by reducing the percentage of property owners needed to petition for annexation from 100% agreement to 75% of the property owners in neighborhoods where half the households have incomes that are 200% or less than the Federal poverty level.

If you live in a neighborhood where the average family has four or five members and they have incomes of 50,000 dollars or less, 75% of the neighbors could force the other 25% to be annexed against their will.

THERE IS NO (FAIR) VOTE, NO OVERSIGHT AND NO REQUIREMENT THAT SERVICES BE MEANINGFUL IN EITHER OF THESE BILLS!!

Central water and sewer is not meaningful to people with working septic systems and wells either!

Who among the grassroots would support either of these bills???

Where is House Bill 645????

The calls, letters and emails need to start flowing to the Judiciary II members!!

Six of the Rocky Mount, NC City Councilmen are siding with the NC League of Municipalities in supporting laws that let them forcibly annexation proporties in search of tax revenue, while the people of Oak Level continue their fight against it.

It’s time to vote them all out and reward the City of Rocky Mount and its citizens with people who care about less government, lower taxes and more liberty.

So, for 2007 and 2008 combined, the U.S. exported 22 million ounces of refined gold and over 154 million ounces of “compound gold.” This is more than 11 times U.S. gold mine production during those two years. In fact, this is higher than global gold mine output. Where did all this gold come from?
