Stand up for your Private Property Rights!

by Legate Damar

For several years, the Northern Kentucky Area Planning Commission (NKAPC) staff, and their handlers, including Covington Mayor Sherry Carran, Covington City Manager Larry Klein, Crestview Hills Mayor Paul Meier, Lakeside Park Mayor Dave Jansing, Edgewood City Administrator Doug Beckham, Crescent Springs Mayor Jim Collett, Crescent Springs Councilman Tom Vergamini and others (we can call them the Communist Cabal), supported by Communist Cabal attorney Garry Edmondson, who recently told the Kenton County Tea Party, at a meeting, that the Constitution really doesn’t matter, have collectively spearheaded an effort to crush private property rights, and push a centralized planning model – centralized planning that they control. Communist Cabal members and their contact information are listed below if you want to let them know what you think about centralized planning.

Kentuckian Makes Stand Against Common Core

by Steve Shreeve

On Monday June 10th, the Kentucky Interim Joint Committee on Education gathered to discuss Common Core and was met with need resistance. Please take a moment to read Steve Shreeve’s comments and to educate yourself on the top-down, one size fits all, government takeover of our education system, known as Common Core. Please help us take a stand, join Kentuckians against Common Core and put a Stop to Common Core in Kentucky!

As a father of four school-aged children, I am here to voice my concern about the implementation of SB-1 and, particularly, with Common Core. I have a bachelors' degree in Electrical Engineering with two minors in Mathematics and Physics. I have a Masters Degree in Business Administration. Four years of doctorate studies in Medical School rounded out my diverse background in technology, business, and healthcare. I also lived abroad and am fluent in Spanish.

I bring to your attention three fatal flaws in Common Core: 1) poor content, 2) no privacy, and 3) high costs. I urge you to review the increasing evidence online from a litany of sources, across numerous states, from folks of all political persuasions, which reveals Common Core for what it is: a top-down, one size fits all, government takeover of our education system.

Stand up for the Libraries!

by Legate Damar

The Enquirer continues to be the biggest cheerleader for the libraries in Northern Kentucky by publishing articles exhorting the residents to support them (NKY needs its libraries, 2013). The articles went so far as to recommend a petition drive and pressure lawmakers into supporting the libraries (Stand up for your libraries, 2013).

Campbell County Circuit Court Judge Julie Reinhardt Ward ruled in April that the Campbell County library district had been using the wrong law since 1979 to set its tax rate. Kenton Circuit Court Judge Patricia Summe issued a similar decision a week later, and 79 county libraries around Kentucky are awaiting an appeal by the two libraries to the Kentucky Supreme Court (NKY needs its libraries, 2013).
