30 X 30: Outrageous Landgrab or Thoughtful Conservation?

Published in Blog on April 13, 2024 by Cynthia Kisby

We see things differently. Anyone who reads history or the Bible might agree that we humans have always been at odds. If we think our deep cultural animosities are unique to our time, remember that our beloved United States fought a Civil War not only to end slavery but more importantly to keep us united.

What’s different about America is that we citizens are supposed to be engaged in directing and monitoring the actions of our elected representatives. Prior to our founding the typical civil structure was king or dictator controlling serfs and slaves. 

We have been given an opportunity to control our own fate, but that requires effort. If we do not act, we will soon be robbed of our liberties. When presidents issue executive orders that bypass congress, we are essentially giving up our right to self-governance.

The Bill of Rights or Globalism

Global Agenda
The World Economic Forum’s 30 By 30 Initiative is just another example of global elites, who think they know better than anyone else, surreptitiously executing a plan to equalize everyone but themselves. 

“196 countries committed to protecting at least 30% of Earth’s lands, inland waters, coastal areas and ocean by 2030 to ensure that natural capital is sustained for inter-generational prosperity.”

The Problem Is Spin
Of course, saving the planet for future generations sounds wonderful. Sadly, lofty ideas have a seamy underbelly when the reality of their execution is destruction of individual property rights. If the government plans to “save” 30% of all US land now, then 50% by 2050, what happens to control by We the People

Saving pristine land means no control over water use, no grazing, no mining, no fishing, no recreation, no development, nor tourism. Imagine that your property could be enrolled in a “conservation easement,” which means federal control, without your knowledge.

To Do
Engaged citizens need to be aware of Florida conservation legislation and how conservation funds are used. We need to know exactly what conservation easements allow and prohibit before we assume and agree that “Saving Mother Earth” is a good thing.

Petition your state legislator

Almost everyone knows that our federal government is on a dangerous course. The unsustainable debt combined with crushing regulations on states and businesses is a recipe for disaster.

What is less known is that the Founders gave state legislatures the power to act as a final check on abuses of power by Washington, DC. Article V of the U.S. Constitution authorizes the state legislatures to call a convention to proposing needed amendments to the Constitution. This process does not require the consent of the federal government in Washington DC.

I support Convention of States; a national movement to call a convention under Article V of the United States Constitution, restricted to proposing amendments that will impose fiscal restraints on the federal government, limit its power and jurisdiction, and impose term limits on its officials and members of Congress.

I want our state to be one of the necessary 34 states to pass a resolution calling for this kind of an Article V convention. You can find a copy of the model resolution and the Article V Pocket Guide (which explains the process and answers many questions) here: https://conventionofstates.com/handbook_pdf

I ask that you support Convention of States and consider becoming a co-sponsor. Please respond to my request by informing the national COS team of your position, or sending them any questions you may have:

info@conventionofstates.com or (540) 441-7227.

Thank you so much for your service to the people of our district.
