No longer just a "conspiracy"...

Seems the Tea Party just fired off a warning shot to the COG.  They are coming for you, even if they have to take out rep's to do it.

The COG is spending YOUR money and YOU get no say.  They are quoting and enforcing UN policies.  Sound American as apple pie?

Ever heard of Agenda 21?  Ever heard of the Trinity River Vision?  Know the difference?

Want to fix it?  Ask all of YOUR elected officials these same questions.  If they fully support the NCTCOG, they don't fully support YOU.

Survey says...

Our air sucks and we're out of water.

PLEASE CONSIDER PARTICIPATION IN
Natural Gas Production and Community Impacts Survey

I have been contacted by the Damascus Citizens group of Pennsylvania that has crested a survey for citizens to fill out a survey they are collecting to document the Health and Community Impacts of Gas Production in their communities. Although this is being done by a Pennsylvania citizens group their effort is to document not only their local Impacts with testimonial surveys but through other activists groups and communities across the Nation . How can this help our cause ? Get your experiences officially recorded with the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry, a division of the CDC (Centers for Disease Control) in the Department of Health & Human Services. Petition to get a Public Health Assessment in your area. This Survey has been created to help you and your community, and change public policy. Your information will go towards creating a national database and a national review of drilling (NGE&P) impacts. We are hopeful also that we can start to find help for impacted people.

WHO didn't see that coming?

Concerning the Texans for Government Transparency lawsuit against the Tarrant Regional Water District, the local "news" paper has decided while it may be against the law and unconstitutional, it's okay.  Cause an election would cost money.  Let's see, an election to give the citizens a vote, would cost less than the restaurant the TRWD built for their friend.  ($900,000)  It will also cost less than the $6 million dollar lawsuit against Oklahoma.

Seems if they got some more new blood on the water board, they would spend less on frivolous things.  Sounds like the "news" paper is more worried about keeping "continuity" on the water board.  Now WHY would that be?  Wouldn't they be more concerned about THE PEOPLE having a voice?  And a governmental agency following the law?  Maybe they should be.  Maybe they'll be next...

When they extended the other water board member terms in 2012, Jim Lane voted against it, his thinking was the voters deserved to throw him out after his term if desired.   WHAT changed?  Aside from it's his turn?

Remember

Way back in 2012 when the Tarrant Regional Water District voted to give themselves another year in office?  Even the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, who likes to look the other way when it comes to the Water Board, took note of the usually unanimous voting board being not so unanimous on this particular vote.   Well, to get away with moving their elections this time, they came up with HB3900 and sent it to Perry to extend yet another set of elections.  The first time it was to "save money", this time it's so the elections will be held in odd numbered years.  Either way, it's crap.

So, a newly created group for Texans, along with a former water board candidate and a concerned resident have filed suit. 

You can read about the lawsuit on the Fort Worth Weekly. 

If you want to attend the lawsuit hearing against the TRWD concerning the 'alleged' violations of the TOMA laws, it's Friday at 2:00.  Sounds like it will be a long day on Northside Drive tomorrow.
