The American Freedom Renewal Revolution takes another giant leap forward.

On Saturday Sept 17 2011, in Cloudcroft New Mexico.  Americans stepped up and reclaimed their freedoms. Freedom as it was originally used in the Constitution referred to “Life ,Liberty, and Private Property =Freedom).  The revolutions  that we’ve seen in recent years are started by individuals, such as Rick Santelli and the Tea Party Revolution and now we have the Otero County Tree party, which launched on Saturday by Otero County Commission Chairman Ronnie Rardin. Ronnie had a lot of help, from his fellow commissioners, the commission liaison Sharon Coll, the town Mayor David Venable , and certain individuals that have been providing guidance enabling the county to use the law as written to begin the process of saving our forests, our watersheds, our infrastructure , towns and communities.

We are hearing a lot of blather from the beltway about jobs. Obama thinks he can create jobs, fact is he’s been killing jobs ever since he fraudulently entered the White House.  Government can help in the creation of jobs, by getting out of the way. That is exactly what the County Government has been forced to do in Otero County, they have had to step  up and remove the blockade of jobs and the preservation of our forests, and watersheds, by putting the forest service on notice. Either lead follow but get the hell out of the way.  Below are a series of videos , and pictures taken during the event on Saturday.  Do the country a favor and send this site to everyone in your address book and tell them to do the same.  And remember there is more going on here than saving our forest, we are saving our country, freedom and liberty for the generations that will follow us. Enjoy!

Letters to the Editor

Letter to the Editor

 

My husband and I attended the County Commission Meeting on Tuesday, August 23rd where the agenda items were the reinstatement of two gross receipts taxes. Tommy Herrell is our District 1 County Commissioner and I had called his house the morning of July 21st, which was the day the commission was to decide putting the vote on the taxes before a Public Hearing. I left a message that we opposed the reinstatement of said taxes. I also emailed him saying that we did not feel any taxes should be reinstated at this time, in this economy. We received no answer.

 

Commissioner Herrell has made it known that he is a one-term commissioner so, I can only surmise from his actions and speech that he will serve his term as he decides and as his agenda dictates without fear of re-election because he will not seek it. After input from the audience including a plea to wait at least a month, if not a year, he and Commissioner Susan Flores, District 2, voted to reinstate the taxes. Commissioner Rardin voted against the reinstatement.

 

From his remarks quoted in today’s ADN it is hard to imagine him as a Conservative Republican. Instead, he came across as a ‘grow-government’ liberal. I quote; “I can sit here and do nothing,” he said, “But when I do that I have to shrink government.” (What a novel idea and something all the Republican-led County offices have already managed to do). He then goes on to say, “When I shrink government, I have to shrink services, then it affects everybody.” By the way, do you notice all the “I’s” – it is a three- not a one-man County Commission.

 

Commissioner Herrell then lashed out at the Tea Party – a familiar theme going around lately when one is challenged for their actions. We are members of the Tea Party but we were at the meeting as conservative Republican, tax-paying citizens and Commissioner Herrell did a great disservice to his office and his constituents by making the presence of the ‘nay’ voters a personal issue. Sad to say, only one of the three County Commissioners, Ronnie Rardin, exhibited courteousness and professionalism in performing his duty.

Dig a little deeper!! 8/24/11

In Tuesday evening’s County Commissioner’s public hearing concerning the reinstatement of two Gross Receipt Taxes the following occurred:The District 1 freshman commissioner stated that the question of whether to raise the GRT in Otero county should not be presented as a referendum on a public ballot because the people of Otero county would almost certainly vote it down and this could create a situation where, as I understood it, the carry over reserve might in an emergency have to be dipped into instead of growing.The District 3 commissioner who is also Chairman of the County Commissioners asked his fellow commissioners to wait one year before reinstating the taxes to see if the increase was truly needed and, if it should turn out that it was needed, promised to lead the charge to raise the taxes. The District 2 freshman commissioner, mine I am embarrassed to say, also agreed that the question should not be presented as a public referendum but later stated over and over that it was up to us the public to decide whether our taxes should be raised or not. Two motions were made by the District 1 commissioner to reinstate the two GRTs, each motion was seconded by the District 2 commissioner. There was a 2 to 1 vote on each motion to raise your taxes. The vote on each was as follows:District 1 – YesDistrict 2 – YesDistrict 3 – NoSo dig a little deeper folks, your freshman commissioners have visions to fulfill!!!
