Like Endangered Species Act and Lost Jobs? Gingrich Is Your Man
Florida Election Alert!
See Action Items below:
Gingrich quote from his own book:
“That is why I worked so diligently as Speaker of the House to protect
the Endangered Species Act, historic legislation that has been mired
in some controversy…it is an essential conservation tool.” – Newt
Gingrich.
The Candidates are not talking about Federal land use or private
property.
Please consider the following before you vote.
“We believe that in Mitt Romney you have the best chance to
protect freedom, private property and the use of Federal lands,” said
Chuck Cushman, Executive Director of the American Land Rights
Association.
If you are concerned that the government has gone too far with land
use controls, land acquisition and extreme environmental regulations,
you should support Mitt Romney.
Gingrich Book “A Contract With The Earth” On Amazon tells you all
you want to about why he is NOT the choice in 2012.
Remember that this election is about jobs and the economy as you
think about whom to support in a primary in your area.
No Federal Act has done more to hurt the economy and jobs than the
Endangered Species Act.
None of the candidates are saying how they would save you, jobs and
the economy from the Endangered Species Act. None are talking
about the Endangered Species Act and the damage it has done to the
economy.
None of the Candidates are paying attention to rural land and
community issues, private property or Federal land use issues.
But we know a lot about Gingrich and his views on the Endangered
Species Act.
Please go to Amazon.com and look up Newt Gingrich’s book. Look
at this quote from his own book:
We are repeating the Gingrich quote from his own book:
“That is why I worked so diligently as Speaker of the House to protect
the Endangered Species Act, historic legislation that has been mired
in some controversy…it is an essential conservation tool.” – Newt
Gingrich.
Read Gingrich's record and his “Contract with the Earth” book to
expose the threat:
“Gingrich is no Conservative” according the Joe Scarborough from
the Morning Joe show in MSNBC.
You can go to www.Amazon.com now and read about Gingrich’s
book: “A Contract with the Earth”.
As Speaker of the House in the 1990s Gingrich collaborated with
major political and intellectual extreme environmental leaders,
including E.O. Wilson at Harvard and others.
Perhaps the best example of this is when Gingrich abused his
enormous power to control legislation as Speaker by sabotaging
Republican efforts to roll back the powers of government land use
control agencies and the litigious environmental pressure groups
under the power given them by the draconian Endangered Species
Act.
This was a very serious betrayal of his supporters who had helped to
put Gingrich in his position as Speaker on behalf of the preliminary
'tea party' revolt of the time.
No act has cost more jobs or hurt local communities more than the
Endangered Species Act. Tens of thousands of forestry workers in the
Northwest alone. Tens of thousands of jobs are threatened in other
areas because of the extreme regulation forced by the Endangered
Species Act.
Neither Gingrich or Romney are talking about the Endangered
Species Act, private property, Federal land use or rural communities.
In Gingrich's 2006 book "A Contract with the Earth” with a forward
by E.O.Wilson he unabashedly defended this and threatened to do
more:
Gingrich said:
"Environmental stewardship is everyone's responsibility, including
Congress's. That is why I worked so diligently as Speaker of the
House to protect the Endangered Species Act, historic legislation that
has been mired in some controversy. Despite its flaws -- and there are
some -- it is an essential conservation tool. In my evaluation of the
legislation, I sought the advice of leading biologists such as E.O.
Wilson and Thomas Eisner, esteemed members of the National
Academy of Sciences. Good government depends on the counsel of
our nation's best scientists..."
"Environmentalists are not exclusive to one political philosophy..."
"No single enterprise, event, or idea will renew the earth. Instead, I
believe it will take a movement composed of dedicated citizens who
can see the world in a new way and who will work together to bring
about revolutionary changes in the way we conduct our lives.
A Contract with the Earth aims to inspire a commitment to protect the
integrity of the natural world and to usher in a promising age of
environmental problem solving..."
"I will continue to articulate and address these issues in my public
life, and I invite you to participate in a continuing dialogue... Work
with us to restore and protect the good, green earth that our Creator
has provided."
“We believe these Gingrich quotes and his history on the Endangered
Species Act indicate a willingness to support extreme regulation and
land use controls at the expense of jobs and the economy,” said Chuck
Cushman, Executive Director of the American Land Rights
Association.
*****Remember also the appalling Nancy Pelosi and Newt Gingrich
Commercial on Climate Change -- Watch it yourself:

Consider this quote sent to me as part of a letter from a ALRA
member in Ohio:
“The environmentalists have become like a new religion, a new
paganism, that worships trees and sacrifices people.”
Newt Gingrich is especially close to the environmentalists.
ALRA is reminding you to contact each of the campaigns of Romney,
Gingrich, Santorum, Paul and Obama to get them to discuss private
property rights, Rural land issues, Federal land issues and what they
would do to protect jobs and economy from the over regulation that
currently exists.
Especially the attack on private property by various Obama Federal
land use proposals and of course, the Endangered Species Act.
Both Romney and Gingrich have connections to the
environmentalists.
An uprising by voters must get both Romney and Gingrich to be
responsive to rural, private property and Federal land issues.
Whoever wins, they must be stopped from putting environmentalist
activists into positions of power.
See the Quote below how the environmentalists boasting about the
importance of these appointments to them from the bio for Douglas
Foy who was appointed by Romney to an influential position when he
was governor of MA:
http://serrafix.com/about.php
Doug Foy - BS, Princeton University; JD, Harvard University - As a
super-secretary in Governor Mitt Romney's cabinet, Doug oversaw
transportation, housing, environment, and energy agencies, with
combined annual capital budgets of $5 billion, and a total workforce
exceeding 11,000. This unique position enabled him to put into
practice many of the policies he developed over twenty-five years as
head of the Conservation Law Foundation, New England’s premier
environmental advocacy organization. Widely acknowledged as a
leading environmentalist, Doug received the President’s
Environmental and Conservation Challenge Award, the country’s
highest conservation award, the Woodrow Wilson Award for Public
Service and an honorary "Officer of the Order of the British Empire".
When you call think about these principles.
-----A. Conservation is a public responsibility; the public must pay
for regulation as well as the land itself when the government engages
in land acquisition or regulatory takings to achieve public goals.
-----B. Public goals, Federal land management and regulation of
private property must not be driven by the excessive appetite of the
extreme environmental groups. There was a saying about a former
Congressman aligned with the environmental groups that “if they only
tool he had was a hammer, everything he saw would begin to look
like a nail.” Or as Ben Franklin said, “No ones land is safe as long as
the legislature is in session.”
-----C. To get control of our nations budget, we must control our
public appetite for regulation, taking private property and land use
planning and controls.
-----D. Good science, based on data MUST be the basis for
conservation (not 'best professional judgment' which is just opinion
dressed up in $200 words).
-----E. Outcome based conservation, which rewards clean water, air,
and abundant species is more effective than top down command and
control regulation which forces nature and people to live in a rigid
regulatory box.
Action Items:
-----1. Call your Congressman in Florida and urge him to talk to the
candidates about the Endangered Species Act, land rights, private
property and the use of and access to Federal lands. Call any
Congressman at (202) 225-3121.
-----2. Do the same as above with both your Senators. Call any
Senator at (202) 224-3121.
-----3. Get in touch with each of the campaigns. Especially Romney
and Gingrich. Ask for their e-mail and fax addresses. You must put
pressure on them now to protect land rights, roll back the job killing
regulations from the Endangered Species Act and other legislation.
Before the election is the time to get promises about the future. Of
course it appears that Gingrich will promise anything in Florida to get
votes.
It is critical to get the candidates discussing private property rights,
land rights, Federal land use and access and other issues so important
to recreation and rural America.
