Here is a letter that can be copied and sent to your Senator, it's time we all did something to help ourselves. Here's a start if anybody has any others, post them and let's get busy.


Dear Senator
United States Senate
Washington, DC 20510


I am writing you to ask that you cosponsor S.510, the "American Land Sovereingty Protection Act." S.510 is a vital step in protecting the sovereignty of our nation and the private property rights of all citizens. A similar bill, H.R. 883, which had 183 cosponsors, passed the House on May 20, 1999, by a voice vote.

I am concerned about the lack of Congressional oversight over UNESCO international land designations in the U.S., primarily World Heritage Sites and Biosphere Reserves. These international land designations have been created with virtually no congressional oversight, no hearings, and in the case of biosphere reserves no legislative authority. The citizens of the United States have been left out of the domestic process to designate Biosphere Reserves and World Heritage Sites.

S. 510 will: (1) prevent the Executive branch from using international land reserve designations to guide domestic land policies without consulting Congress, (2) restore meaningful Congressional oversight of these programs, (3) protect the rights of owners of non-federal lands adjacent to or intermixed with these land reserves, and (4) protect our domestic land use decision-making process from international interference.

I encourage you to cosponsor S.510. I am also requesting that you ask Chairman Murkowski to mark S. 510 up as soon as possible in the Senate energy and Natural Resources Committee and ask Senate Majority Leader Lott to bring S.510 to the floor for a vote before the 106th Congress adjourns.


Sincerely,




This came in my club newsletter as a Blue Ribbon alert, so if you want to help here is your chance. Just copy this letter fill in the blanks and send it in, it's that easy. I would also urge you to join the Blue Ribbon Coalition, it seems we all have money to do hop-ups to our machines but put no thought into where we will ride them in the future.
