Agenda 21 coming to Chester on March 6

The Chester Memorial Hall will be the location for the latest round of Agenda 21 discussion.

The meeting is scheduled from 6 to 8 p.m. and is open to all interested people in the greater Lake Almanor Basin and throughout Plumas County.

The guest speaker will be Carol Viscarra, of Taylorsville. Chester resident Fay Almond said Viscarra would be delivering a PowerPoint presentation, as she did during a Jan. 17 Plumas County Planning Commission meeting and again during the Feb. 5 Board of Supervisors meeting.

Viscarra is an advocate for property rights and is concerned that the county’s general plan closely mirrors the Agenda 21 document adopted in 1992 at the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

The Chester Memorial Hall is located on the corner of Gay and Stone streets in Old Town Chester.

Will there be a question and answer period after the presentation?

Will there be equal time given for reasonable people to speak? I wish people spent more time listening in science class than listening to glen beck and fox news. The tea party is a real problem at the local level. I can't be a republican anymore. Moving on to the 21st century with facts.

On the right, they think the UN is evil. On the left, they think corporations are evil. They are both wrong. If you are a reasonable, centered person with an education, please go to public meetings and speak up. The extremes are wasting our time and money. Math, science, facts and data.

I just can't wait for Ms. Viscarra's next power point presentation on this subject. Promises to be a real "barn burner"!

We must be very leery of a govt so evil that it would aid and abet in the murder of Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry and then cover up and delay the investigation. What if he were your son???

Lefties do NOT believe most corporations are evil,though some clearly are. They are in business to make money,lots of money. As such, their regard for the environment,long term economic growth and human life are not always top priorities. Look into the history of the Hudson River as a prime example.

So,those who believe in no Government regulation somehow missed the memo that we are the Goverment and have the responsibility to preserve, sustain and nurture the world in which we live. Of course that is a difficult task, but relentless,paranoid viewpoints(Ms Viscarra) just impede progress.

Well said, Thomas! Our whole country needs fair-minded citizens who happen to be Republicans to speak out against those who have highjacked your party. The fact is any Republican who dares reach out to the current administration in order to accomplish ANYTHING will be targeted in the next primary.

Well, Mr. Messenger, it's just one of those things. Just because I"own"property, I do not have the right to rape it. There just is no accounting for bad taste,until now. Communities have the right and obligation to limit the amount of damage that can be done to the look and feel of their community.

Well, Mr. Tom - Who said anything about "raping" anything? They don't want you to do anything on YOUR land. If you abuse it, that's another story. So stop jumping to conclusions, no one said "rape" or destroy.

Because of the snow and a 3 hour round trip drive, I will not be at the meeting tonight. I really want to go because I have some important questions to ask. Any way I can get ahold of the presenter or someone else? Please let me know..

More proof the U.N. is digging roots into our homeland. People better start waking-up, or be ready to do a lot more answering to the U.N. They do not belong here!

They want us in the cities. I typed in 'Boston bombing and Illuminati'. Infowars has a paper April 18 about this event and gun control.
Are they using this event and the Martial Law in Boston right now as a test run to see how Americans will react on a national level?

Are you people NUTS! You live in a part of Plumas county that NOBODY cares about. Nobody wants you anywhere because you are NUTS! WE live on a PLANET that is fragile. Can you possibly understand that people who have BRAINS understand that GREEDY human behavior is a detriment to life on Earth?
