[CRNMC] Oakland Rally Feb 7 in Protest of Gov.Brown's OK on Fracking...

Tue Jan 27 15:11:18 PST 2015

I just wanted to make sure that all who are involved in this direct 
action remember to include
language that clearly shows the assertion of our constitutional rights 
as validation of our position.
The information below comes from the Community Rights Network of 
Mendocino County (CRNMC)
website: http://crnmc.org/faq. If you have print capability, I would 
suggest printing the entire FAQ
page.

I thank all of you for your dedication to fighting the forces that are 
quite literally threatening
the survival of all life on the planet.

*Q: State regulatory agencies are the proper venue for protecting the 
local environment, right?*
A: Regulations set the legal level of harm; they do not create 
impediments to harm. “Permits”
issued by the state are licenses to do harm, and they are legal shields 
that protect the permit
holder from liability to the harmed community. The regulations that 
legalize the harms are too
often proposed and written into bills by agents of the regulated 
industries. It is absurd to pretend
that the regulatory scheme of law can be used by citizens to protect 
their rights and interests. To
demand enforcement of the regulations is to admit that the people have 
no right to prohibit the
harm to themselves, their families and communities. It is to admit that 
the corporate interests
lobbying the legislature are the actual governing power in their 
communities. It is to pretend that
administrative agencies of the State have legitimate authority to 
empower State-chartered
corporations to violate the rights of community members. They have no 
such authority.
