Some Reasons why a Constitutional Republic would Surpass even a Fantasy Gore Administration
for the Environment:
1) - A return to Constitutional
Property Rights; i.e. - the ability to hold what is called "Allodial
Title" on your land, or on a shared land such as a wildlife
refuge, renders that land impenetrable to the only legal
spearhead by which government abetted corporations can continue
in their plunder: Eminent Domain. NIMBY (Not In My Backyard)
is a FAR greater protective safeguard for the environment than
a policy which permits corporations to run amuck with - literally
- more rights than the people.
Today, Allodial Title can only be held on a
property located in the State of Texas. The education of America
as to the true nature of property ownership, as our founders
intended, could easily bring this precious right back to
us all under a Constitutional Republic.
2) - Free Markets. Yes, a Constitutional Republic entails a return to free markets, and to the same extent
this will result in the government keeping its hands out of the
affairs of our marketplace, it is the commercial and industrial
interests of the marketplace itself we can also look forward
to keeping its hands out of the affairs of our government
in return (who are authorized to exist merely for OUR best interests alone).
How many truly ground-breaking, and liberating,
alternative energy technologies do you think have been swept
into oblivion as the result of the blatant complicity that exists
today between commercial interests and our government?
While a degree
of conjecture remains as to the veracity of the following example,
enough evidence lingers, surrounding this particular case,
to warrant the attention of all Americans nonetheless. So consider
the remarkable story of the inventor, Stanley
Meyer, and determine for yourself whether all is as it
appears to be.
Unfortunately, no matter how commonsensical
the ceaseless appeals may be for us to keep focusing on resolving
our environmental woes via the choices we make as consumers,
this has really become the only message we continue to be fed...
While the choices we make as consumers will always remain important,
the significance of our impact pales in comparison to the enormity
of the environmental impact imposed by commercial industry alone.
Any scientist will tell you that. Yet even Gore concludes his
famous documentary with a call - not to government and industry to change
their ways, but to us, and for us to change ours!

3) - Rule of Law.
One of the greatest "Sins of Omission", as described
in the above video regarding the governmental-environmental relationship,
worthy of a book unto itself, is the erosion of our Common Law
rights, to the extent where it lies today: with not a single
Court of Law in all the land that doesn't put the UCC (Uniform
Commercial Code) above your sovereign, God-given rights.
A return to a Constitutional Republic,
as is far too often overlooked by those afraid of free markets,
means the restoration of an even greater counterbalance in law:
The Supreme Law, aka The Law of the Land (i.e. - Common Law).
Bring this back and you will restore the only law that will recognize
an affront to your lungs, or your lawn, or any other manner of
your well-being, as truly actionable, instead of just another
price "we" have to pay "for the greater good" (for those who think an abuse of point #1 would facilitate an abuse of any neighbors' health or property).
One mustn't go about grafting
today’s business-as-usual mentality upon just one slice
of the kind of society our forefathers originally fashioned for
us (free markets). We have to remember that society as a whole,
and how the legal foundations have been turned upside-down today,
to really understand how it would actually work better for
the environment than it possibly ever could otherwise. In fact,
no other system more closely resembles the processes of nature
herself than the freedom of all entities to act as they see
fit, and the clearly defined consequences (of trespass of rights)
that may ever come as the result of it.
4) - For anyone unfamiliar with the works of former Libertarian gubernatorial candidate for Iowa, Mr. Clyde Cleveland (aka "The Green Libertarian"), as regards Free Market Environmentalism, I highly recommend availing yourself of a sample of his writings here, and having a listen to a radio interview recording of him available here.
5) - Education.
For an idea as to why The Environment is perhaps the single greatest
argument there could possibly be for the abolishment of the Department
of Education, please read our mission statement. We recommend
reading the script on its own first though, and then again with
the music - using the floating music player that follows as you
scroll the page. There is a semi-second by second breakdown within
the script you can use to monitor how the music from Depeche
Mode syncs with it.

Graphics Designer for Crew
Creative, Adam is just as excited as we
are to be bridging the gap between those who
support the environment, and the Constitutional principles Dr. Paul stands for:
"First
off, I have to say that I am extremely excited
... about the project. I have been a supporter
of Ron Paul for over 6 months now, but the
one area that I felt he lacked in clarity was
environmental issues and his stances. Due to
my own personal convictions on environmental
issues and trying to be as "green" as
possible in my own daily lifestyle, I feel
like this project speaks to me on many levels.
With Depeche Mode, PBS and Jim Gucciardo on
board ... you all are moving in a great direction,
and I would love to be a part of it. Jim's
work is amazing, and ... the chance to be involved
in a project with someone of that caliber would
be great." -Adam Franklin
