Have we woken up yet? Regionalism is taking a stronger hold in New York State and is leaving our local elected officials with less voice in Albany. Our economy is failing and with more state/federal regulations, grants/loans enticements, conservation easements/farmland restrictions, green spaces, and rising property taxes – our property rights are in jeopardy.
Property ownership is what separates America from most other countries. Property rights in New York are being challenged and Tom DeWeese will help us when and if we get in trouble with the State. Farmers are selling their land in order to pay the higher taxes and to comply with strict regulations by the EPA and DEC. Dairy farms are disappearing from the landscape because of government demands being too costly to implement. Why is this happening?
There is a reason and Tom DeWeese knows the answer. He is a nationally recognized speaker on diminishing property rights in America. DeWeese is the author of books on the subject, is President of the American Policy Center (www.americanpolicy.org), and has crossed the country alerting Americans to the issue for over 20 years. He recently met with Maine State Legislators and as a result, they are now working on several bills to protect property rights and stop taking Federal grants.
Tom DeWeese is coming to Owego and Binghamton, N.Y. to share his expertise on property rights. They are inviting all elected officials to attend this informative meeting to help safeguard property rights. The meeting is also open to the general public.
Organizers are asking for a $10 donation to help with expenses (hotel room, publicity, copies, etc.). Donations may also be made at this Go Fund Me account: gofundme.com/rhtc2c.
