Dedicated To The Calamity That Is California And It’s Politics

We find ourselves in a POLITICAL CALAMITY not just in our Nation's capital but here in California as well. Everyday we watch our Country slip farther and farther away from the original vision of our Founding Fathers. We watch as California crumbles underneath the weight of a crushing deficit without the needed leadership to put our state back on track. "We The People" can no longer sit idly by and wait. Take the first step. It is your responsibility to arm yourself with information. You must seek out facts and make up your own mind. No one can tell you how to think, YOU MUST THINK FOR YOURSELF! Part of the reason we are so deeply entrenched in mediocrity is we’ve been all too willing to accept people and their word at face value. We are far too trusting of our Teachers, Main Stream Media and our Politicians. We send our kids to school and expect they will be taught an accurate depiction of History, when in fact History is often rewritten to reflect the views of the “politically correct”. We read newspapers and watch the nightly news and expect we will be told the truth, but instead we’re given agenda based reporting. We elect politicians and trust they will stand by their word and make decisions based on our best interest, only to find we’ve been sold out to special interests. Look around: The herd mentality hasn’t worked out so well, especially here in California. YOU MUST GET INFORMED, BE INFORMED AND STAY INFORMED!

JULY 3, 2009: UPDATE-State Can NOT sell State Parks

By CalamityDevon

In an attempt to dig a little deeper into the state parks dilemma, I contacted the National Park Service’s Pacific West Regional Office. Here is their response: (FLP stands for Federal Lands to Parks Program, the program in which California was conveyed the land from the federal government).

“There are a lot of nuances to this whole thing that aren’t being reported and are not in the letter to the Governor. For example, not all of the acreage in all 6 parks identified as FLP parks came through the FLP program. All 970+ acres at Fort Ord Dunes did, but less than one acre came from FLP at Mt. Diablo. Also, reversion to US Government ownership is not anything that would happen fast – it is a last resort, worst case scenario sort of thing. And reversion does not mean that the National Park Service would end up with it. It would go out of NPS jurisdiction. It would go into the US Government surplus property inventory for redisposal – so there would be no assurance that it would end up as a park again. There is a quick answer to your core question though. No – the state cannot sell the parkland it received through FLP”.

Very interesting… In some cases it’s the entire park and in another it’s only an acre. Many have been calling for the sale of the parks so they won’t be seized by the government, it’s not even an option.
