Administration's reign—use coordination at the local level .+Y, • to save our homeland one community at a time. We're standing our ground and want you to join us! When we took on the listing of the Dunes Sagebrush Lizard,no one believed we could prevent it from being added to the endangered species list. Not only did we stop it,we removed it from the candidate list that it had been on since 1993. Now,there is another fight being waged by this Administration and we are involved. This too can be won, but we need your help. This fight has been described as the next Spotted Owl. It's that serious and widespread. If we don't stop this listing, we will lose two key natural resource industries—livestock grazing and oil and gas production-in 11 states! Fortunately, we have been quietly working with Garfield County, Colorado, which has engaged the federal agencies through coordination, but now, we have to take this to another level. Whether you are in the cross hairs of this species listing or not, you will be affected and we need your help. It is the potential endangered listing of the greater sage-grouse.

FASCISTS Elizabeth Nickson thought she was one of"them" until she tried to subdivide her 28 acres on Salt Springs ELIZABETH NICKS]lr Island in order to build a second home. Opposed by environmental activists, she had to maneuver a series of 58 hurdles, which included permits, surveys, reports, development rights and committee approvals that forced her to give most of her land away to "conservation." During all this she was at the mercy of an unelected green trust that had systematically put into place the path for failure. This system was designed to keep her from using her land and she wanted to know why. Nickson put her well-trained investigative skills into motion as she set out to determine the truth behind the green agenda. What she found is shocking. Tackling all the hard topics such as Sustainability, Climate Change, Ecosystem Management, Agenda 21 http://us.mg5.mail.yahoo.com/neo/launch 10/17/2012 Print Page 2 of 3 and others, Nickson unravels them with credible facts and intelligent insight. She traveled across rural America and sat in the homes of the people driven from their land to learn how locking up our resources is working. What she found is that North America is well on its way to complete ruin. Conservationists are destroying the very lands they told the public they were going to protect. Brilliantly written, she peels back all the layers piece by piece, taking the reader on a journey, her journey, as well as those of others. You can't escape the truth of what she reports. You won't forget the people you meet inside the pages as she brings their fight to life giving landowners their strongest voice. For those who believe the green agenda is all about saving the Earth, be prepared to question everything, and I mean everything. For those who have fought the agenda, be prepared to be revived. The mask is torn off and left in shreds by a women whose artistry is matched only by her courage. (This book has just been released today.
