James Madison, Federalist Papers #45
“The powers delegated by the proposed Constitution to the federal government are few and defined.”
U.S. Constitution, 10th Amendment
“The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.”
It is our responsibility to be prudent, productive, and efficient stewards of God’s natural resources.
In that role, we are commanded to be fruitful and multiply and to replenish the earth and develop it (e.g., to turn deserts into farms and wastelands into groves).
This requires a proper and continuing dynamic balance between development and conservation, between use and preservation.
We wholeheartedly support realistic efforts to preserve the environment and reduce pollution – air, water, and land.
- We reject the argument of the perceived threat of man-made global warming which has been refuted by a large number of scientists. The globalists are using the global warming threat to gain more control via worldwide sustainable development.
- We support protecting the environment from provable pollutions in high enough quantities to constitute a real threat.
- We reject the claims of man-made Climate Change or that Carbon Dioxide is a pollutant.
- We call for the repeal of federal wetlands legislation and portions of the Clean Water Act that claim control over water on private property.
- We call for the repeal of the federal Endangered Species Act.
- We call for the abolishing of the Environmental Protection Agency and all other unconstitutional agencies.
The Fifth Amendment of the United States Constitution limits the federal power of eminent domain solely to the purchase of private property with just compensation for public use, such as military reservations and government office buildings, not for public ownership, such as urban renewal, environmental protection, or historic preservation.
Under no circumstances may the federal government take private property by means of rules and regulations that preclude or substantially reduce the productive use of the property, even with just compensation.
We oppose any attempt to designate private or public property as United Nations World Heritage sites or Biosphere reserves.
We call for an end to United States participation in United Nations programs, including environmental treaties and conventions, which destroy our sovereignty and right to private property.
