HIGH ALERT: EPA and Waters of the U.S.

HIGH ALERT! EPA WATER GRAB!

The EPA is attempting ANOTHER government overreach with a proposed rule regarding the definition of ?Waters of the United States? (WOTUS) under the Clean Water Act. This proposed EPA rule would give the federal government control over farming and land use. This should scare all of us! Both EPA and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (CORPS) are seeking additional jurisdiction over lands falling under the expanded definition of ?navigable waters? in the U.S. covering natural or manmade ponds, floodplains, downstream navigable waters and wetlands including ditches, tributaries, adjacent and neighboring wetlands, ground water discharge, and puddles. These two government agencies are trying to grab MORE power and authority, as history has proven.

The proposed EPA rule would also expand federal jurisdiction well beyond what was authorized by Congress. Executive Order 13514 and Executive Order 13423 are the two Executive Orders (EOs) that were sent to all government agencies to implement this government overreach via UN Agenda 21.

EPA and the US Army Corps of Engineers (CORPS), through their proposed rule to define ?Waters of the United States?, are implementing the rules and regulations covered in the United Nations? document ?Earth Summit Agenda 21: The United Nations Programme of Action from Rio? that is covered in Section 2 ?Conservation and Management of Resources for Development? and Paragraph 18, 18.1 to 18.90, ?Protection of the quality and supply of freshwater resources: Application of integrated approaches to the development, management and use of water resources?. The two executive orders mentioned in the paragraph above mirror the U.N. Agenda 21 Earth Summit document!

This water grab must be stopped, and we can do something about it! Secure the Republic has drafted a resolution that will require the EPA and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to withdraw their proposed rule regarding the definition of “Waters of the U.S.”

We’re asking for volunteers to get the Resolution to the Justices of the Peace (JPs) and County Judges or County Commissioners. Even if they say they’ve already acted on it, OUR resolution has teeth! There’s a link to the resolution below. If you decide to volunteer, please let us know! (You can simply reply to this email.) Also keep us posted on what’s going on in your county.

PLEASE try to get this Resolution introduced in your Quorum Court THIS MONTH or the beginning of December! It can’t wait! We need to put this issue to bed before the end of 2014.

Here’s what to do:

1. Take this Resolution to your Justices of the Peace (JPs) and County Judges (or County Commissioners) for your next Quorum Court meeting.

2. If you’re able, please submit your opposition comments on the Federal Register.

The public comment period for this proposed rule, Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-OW-2011-0880 has been extended to November 14, 2014 11:59PM ET (this is 10:59PM CT). The link will take you to the 88 PAGE DOCUMENT in the Federal Register. Yes, 88 pages!

An example of what to comment is at the end of this email.

Continue working on getting this Resolution to your JPs and County Judges or County Commissioners, even though your next Quorum Court meeting may fall AFTER November 14, 2014.

EPA has based the majority of their rules and regulations on the fraudulent claims of Climate Change a.k.a. Global Warming. The UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has conceded that the computer predictions for global warming, and the effects of carbon emissions have been proved to be inaccurate.

Any law which violates the Constitution is automatically made null and void, [Marbury vs. Madison, 5 US (2 Cranch) 137, 174, 176, (1803)].

This is VERY important! Please forward this email to EVERYONE on your email list.

The EPA has tried to pass many other proposed rules in the past. One of them was regarding Administrative Wage Garnishment. Under this proposed rule, people’s wages could’ve been garnished if they were fined by the EPA and they were unable to pay those fines! This is another example of their attempt to grab more power and authority! Thankfully, after the diligent work of concerned Americans, the proposed rule regarding wage garnishment was withdrawn!

Attention: Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-OW-2011-0880

1200 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W.

Mail Code 2880T

Washington, DC 20460

I oppose Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-OW-2011-0880 that expands the jurisdiction of Waters of the U.S.

This proposed rule:

expands federal authority to include small and remote waters; including those which are dry most of the year.
effectively redefines navigable waters and is a misinterpretation of congressional intent. The EPA is acting outside of the scope of their authority.
ignores the Supreme Court which has upheld limits to the federal water jurisdiction
infringes on private property rights by empowering the EPA and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to regulate activities in and around virtually all water on private land.

It is Congress, and not the Federal Agencies or the United Nations, that make the laws.
Article 1, Section 8 of the U.S. Constitution does not permit or authorize Congress to legislate in the area of the environment; therefore the EPA is an unconstitutional agency.
Any law which violates the U.S. Constitution is automatically made null and void, [Marbury vs. Madison, 5 US (2 Cranch) 137, 174, 176, (1803)].
This fraudulent EPA rule needs to be withdrawn immediately.
