We have one chance to stop its creation.
On June 1st, 2011, the General Assembly ratified the creation of the I-95 Corridor Authority.
According to the legislation, the I-95 Corridor Authority "must carry out economic development and educational improvement activities which, in the opinion of the authority, will improve the economic conditions" along the I-95 corridor or South Carolina.
Yes, you read that right! The General Assembly is about to create a new agency for centrally planning the economy of the 17 counties along I-95.
Have they forgotten the Soviet Union? Don't they know that bureaucratic central planning of the economy doesn't work?
The new law also mandates that the I-95 Corridor Authority must "oversee the implementation of the recommendations contained in the I-95 Corridor Human Needs Assessment
It recommends six different areas of intervention ranging from local leadership, to economic development, to health care and social services.
The last thing we needs is a new government bureaucracy to help where we are already burdened by too much "government help".
Fortunately, the governor vetoed the I-95 Corridor Authority Act.
Unfortunately, the Senate soundly overrode the governor's veto 30 - 10. You can see a list of who voted to override the veto here
The House will vote on the veto on January 10th when they reconvene for the new year. We need 1/3 of SC House to vote to sustain the governor's veto so we can stop this agency before it gets created!
Though this has largely flown under the radar, it is a monumentally bad piece of legislation that must be stopped.
Please contact your Representative and tell him or her to sustain the governor's veto on S211, the I-95 Corridor Authority Act.

Because this new bureaucracy has not received much attention we must make repeated contacts in order for the lawmakers to realize we are serious.
The scope and authority of this new agency are wide ranging.
It will have the authority to:
· hire employees, consultants, officers, etc. and to decide their salary and compensation;
· partner with any other government agency from federal down to local to implement the Authority's agenda;
· buy and sale anything (land, property, assets, etc.) and to manage, lease, rent, or otherwise do whatever they determine is necessary with the property they acquire in order to implement the Authority's agenda;
· enter into contracts, agreements, etc., with anyone or anything in order to implement its agenda;
· sue and be sued in its own name;
The I-95 Authority will, in essence, have the authority to do whatever it thinks it needs to do in "furtherance of its own purpose".
Remember, its purpose is to implement the recommendations of the 189 page I-95 Human Needs Assessment and to "carry out economic development and educational improvement activities which, in the opinion of the Authority, will improve economic conditions."
So the only limit is its own opinion of what will improve economic conditions. Unbelievable!
Now consider that the Human Needs Assessment identifies these six areas of need: (1) Leadership and Local Capacity; (2) Regional Economic Development; (3) Education; (4) Infrastructure; (5) Tax and Finance; (6) Healthcare and Social Service Disparities.
Again... Wow! The scope of the I-95 Authority covers nearly every aspect of our life.
Make no mistake, this new agency will have the authority to do whatever it thinks is necessary to "improve" your life at almost every level.
We do not need more government to fix the problems created by government.
In order to make real improvements in the 17 counties of the I-95 Corridor, indeed, for all of our state, government needs to get out of the way and unburden the opportunities of the people.
Have faith in the ingenuity and work ethic of the people of our state. If government simply gets out of the way, we can, and will, take care of ourselves and our neighbors.
Among their suggestions are:
· implement true school choice,
· eliminate tax exemptions and reduce the tax rate,
· remove barriers to private investors who use objective cost-benefit analysis to determine how to best utilize resources to serve the needs of the communities.
It's not just the growth in government size and spending that must be stopped! We've gotta stop the monumental growth in how the government bureaucracy is trying to control every detail of our life.
Government simply does not have the ability to successfully plan our life. Experience and history shows that governments always fail miserably and the people suffer more because of their attempt, and their failure.
Contact your State Representative today and tell him to sustain the governor's veto of S211, The I-95 Corridor Authority Act. It is vital to the future wellbeing of our state!
Our State Representatives are our last chance to prevent this huge growth in state government size, spending, and authority!

Remember, in order to stop this unprecedented growth in the size, scope, and spending of South Carolina's state bureaucracy, contact your State Representative today and tell him or her to sustain the governor's veto of the I-95 Corridor Authority.
We must stop the creation of this new state agency that will be given almost unlimited authority to "improve" the lives of people that live in the 17 counties around I-95. We know that anytime the government tries to "improve" our lives, we suffer the miserable consequences!

AGENDA 21- The Global Plan for Local Fascism - The Rise of the Fascist View of Private Property

"Government is not reason; it is not eloquence; it is force. Like fire, it is a If you want to know who is the servant, and who is the master, just determine this: Who is asking for permission, and who is granting (or denying) permission? Does government accept the fact that they operate with the consent of the governed, or does government tell the governed that they need a permit to peacefully interact with their fellow citizens? The free citizen does not need permission from government to enjoy the peaceable use of his property. The government needs permission, from the people, for every use of force that they seek. Permission, from the people is only possible where people would have the right to use force on their on behalf. The proper function of government is the protection of life, liberty, and property. Government is an agency of force. The use of force is only morally justifiable if it is in self defense, or in the defense of someone else, who has authorized us to act in their behalf. Government is the agency which we have collectively authorized to act on behalf of the entire population. A law is a statement of a responsibility which is required by government through the use or the threat of the use of force. Everything that government does involves the use of force. Government uses force to compel the compliance with each of it laws, by providing penalties for violation of laws. Laws may require a specific action from the citizen or they may prohibit a specific action of a citizen. At the very least, in all cases, the actions of government are funded by tax revenues that are taken from citizens through the use, or threat of the use of force. This means that a moral government may only do those things, for which the use of force, would be morally justifiable. When government uses force beyond the specific consent of the governed, or beyond the only moral justification for the use of force, then government is in violation of ITS PERMIT. In any discussion of expanding the function of government beyond its legitimate function of protecting life liberty and property there is a common sense question that should be asked: Is government doing such a good job of protecting life liberty and property that it seems wise to divide their efforts into other areas? Is there no more crime in your area? If the government cannot perform its primary function, why would we think it wise to give them other duties? The ends do not justify the means. As soon as you begin to plead the benefits of allowing government to cross this line, there is no where else to close the gate. If we take the first step onto the slippery slope, then we slide all the way to the chasm. One of the grievances against the king that was stated in The Declaration of Independence was the following: "He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people, and eat out their substance. It does not seem prudent to let this happen again. ASK YOUR GOVERNOR, YOUR STATE LEGISLATURE, AND YOUR STATE ATTORNEY GENERAL TO PUT A STOP TO THIS. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000SHB4Y6?ie=UTF8&seller=A1AVPSERX4QF0E&sn=jperna12
Written by an American Congressman who was jailed for resisting tyranny
When they tell you that you are required to replace the siding on your house, they will also tell you that you are not allowed to do it yourself. You must hire a licensed contractor to do it. The "licensed contractor" paid the city for his license. The "licensed contractor" will also pay the city for a "building permit". The "licensed contractor" will include these costs in his bill to you.
dangerous servant and a fearful master." -
