All Private Land in America

The EPA is in the process, right this very minute, of seizing control over all private land in the United
States. They are following the United Nations blueprint, their minion Gina McCarthy is implementing
it, and B. Hussein Obama is facilitating it.
Anywhere in America where it rains or where water collects or through which water moves will now,
according to this new rule change they are implementing, be under their control. Not because Congress
or the people give them that authority or jurisdiction, but simply because they are seizing the power. It
is just another component of the illegitimate tyranny which is oppressing the American people.
On Tuesday the agency which operates as the misnamed Environmental Protection Agency unveiled
their proposed change to the Clean Water Act, which would extend their regulatory control to
temporary wetlands and waterways.
This definition consists of any water, including seasonal ponds, streams, runoff and collection areas and
irrigation water. It could include runoff from watering your lawn, or puddles on your own property.
They will control the presence of and can prohibit through regulation, your right to the water and your
actions regarding water upon your own land. The opportunities for their abuse would be limitless.
Louisiana Senator David Vitter, the ranking Republican on the Senate Environment and Public Works

Committee, offered an understated precautionary objection stating, The rule may be one of the
most significant private property grabs in U.S. history.
The EPA proposal would extend their authority to include pollution regulations to intermittent and
ephemeral streams and wetlands which are created temporarily during wet seasons or following
rainfall.
Recognize this for what it is America; The EPA is giving themselves legal jurisdiction to replace our
rights with their permissions anywhere it rains or water exists.
They are expanding the same kind of California fish-based drought or Nevada tortoise land restrictions
or Oregon spotted owl tyranny to every square inch of the United States.
The EPA is asserting that all ground water, whether temporary or not and regardless of size is part of
the waters of the United States.
Their position is in contradiction to the Supreme Court rulings in 2001 and 2006, restricting the EPA to
flowing and sizeable, relatively permanent bodies of water such as oceans, rivers, streams and
lakes. Of course, progressives just keep trying until they get what they want, and they never have
enough.

The proposed rule change is now in a 90 day comment

period during which they will assess just how much they can get away with, based upon public outcry
and pushback.
Senator Vitter accused the EPA of picking and choosing their science and of attempting to take
another step toward outright permitting authority over virtually any wet area in the country. He also
warned that if approved, more private owners could expect to be sued by environmental groups.
Senator Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) shares Vitters concerns, warning of potential economic damage and
questioning the EPAs motivations.
She said, [I]t appears that the EPA is seeking to dramatically expand its jurisdictional reach under the
Clean Water Act. If EPA is not careful, this rule could effectively give the federal government control
of nearly all of our state.
Of course, that is exactly what they are after, as well as 49 other states and territories.
