After two years a neighbor won a lawsuit against Northhampton’s Zoning manager’s silly but expensive ORDER to pay $550.00 and apply for a zoning variance when the Licensed Architect showed Full Compliance with all zoning issues. The new Township Solicitor settled the case by writing one essential sentence to end the politically motivated case against my neighbor.

The Northampton Bucks County Municipal Authority had budgeted money to repair the damage they caused but cancelled their project. The erosion is appaling. Large sections of the stream banks were undermined and collapsed into the stream. Why? Because the Authority dumped boulders into the creek which changed the direction of the creek right into the stream banks. Help us petition the Authority to repair their damage. A press conference and rally is planned for 11:00 AM, April 21, 2012 on the field at 885 Stevens Lane, Holland, PA 18966, near the damaged stream bank of Pine Run Creek. Come look at the damage and sign the petition.

“I want to make one thing clear. This war against our constitution is not being fought way off in Madagascar or in Mandalay. It is being fought here—in our schools, our colleges, our churches, our women’s clubs. It is being fought with our money, channeled through the State Department. It is being fought twenty-four hours a day—while we remain asleep. How many of you Senators know what the UN is doing to change the teaching of the children in your own home town? The UN is at work there, every day and night, changing the teachers, changing the teaching materials, changing the very words and tones—changing all the essential ideas which we imagine our schools are teaching to our young folks. How in the name of Heaven are we to sit here, approve these programs, appropriate our own people’s money—for such outrageous “orientation” of our own children, and of the men and women who teach our children, in this Nation’s schools?”

“The time has come to recognize the United Nations for the anti-American, anti-freedom organization that it has become. The time has come for us to cut off all financial help, withdraw as a member, and ask the United Nations to find it’s headquarters location outside the United States that is more in keeping with the philosophy of the majority of voting members, someplace like Moscow or Peking.”

The Courier Times printed a guest opinion I wrote a month ago about the tricks being used by the Northampton Republican Committee. It’s a sort of whistleblower article. Check it out in the newspaper.

Phoney Guilty verdicts against the sitting Alaska Republican Senator “Ted” Stevens arrived less than two weeks before Election Day in 2008, causing the previously popular Senator to lose a close race to Democrat Mark Begich. Mr. Begich would go on to provide the 60th Senate vote to pass ObamaCare in 2009. According to the exhaustive study ordered by Judge Emmet Sullivan, government attorneys engaged in “systematic concealment” of “significant exculpatory evidence which would have independently corroborated Senator Stevens’s defense and his testimony, and seriously damaged the testimony and credibility of the government’s key witness.”
Most damaging to Justice’s credibility is that, three years after Judge Sullivan set aside the guilty verdicts against Stevens, the department still hasn’t disciplined the men and women involved.

They have several monopolies you know. A monopoly on the supply of Public Water, on Public Sewers and Approval of Building Plans. Here’s the issue. Is the Northampton Bucks County Municipal Authority part of the government or is it a private enterprise? The very name offers some clues. It’s not named “Northampton” because it’s a private company. Same for the words “Bucks County” in the name and “Municipal” and “Authority”. For years the NBCMA leaders have been saying it’s not part of Northampton’s government. The DEP issued yjr order to construct sewers in the West End to Northampton Township, not to the NBCMA. The DEP in a letter to the township manager ORDERED the township, not the Authority, to install sewers in the West End. Last week the Chairman-Who-Should-Resign read aloud the letter he sent to the township manager seeking help to force the video guy to stand in the back of the room instead of where the guy wanted to stand. If the NBCMA is not associated with the township why did the CWSR need him? The answer is clear. It’s been clear despite the lies to the contrary over the last five years. The Water Board is still controlled by the old Republican leaders who appointed all but one of the six people on the dais. The Water Board is run by five hand picked Political Operatives who have been interrupting the peace of the township and who are the Cause of the Chaos.

I sued and won three cases, two in Federal Court against Northampton Township for violations of the First Amendment. It’s the third Wednesday and there’s a Water-Board meeting tonight. At the last meeting, when it was too late for citizens to address the board because the Tyrant-in-Charge forbid it, he tried, unseccessfully, to “defend myself” as he said. He launched into a really twisted short set of prepared lies about his failure to follow the most basic of Human Rights, the Right of People to seek redress of their grievences. His fibs about his order to film within a small box in the back of the room were followed by another Water-Boarder who tried unsuccessfully to defend the violations of the basic human freedom to speak against government actions. He said the First Amendment is not absolute. Yes it is. The Supreme Court has constantly suppported the Right to Free Speech and expanded it to include Freedom of Expression. The Water-Boarder who has a carry pup used the schoolboy example of yelling fire in a crowded theatre which has been held to be inciting a stampede, not an expression of the Right to Speak Out aginst our local tyrants. Stupid, Bully Types with Power, hate the First amendment as well as the rest of the Constitution because if they try to follow it they won’t be able to push-around people like the videographer. The Chairman actually put little pieces of blue tape on the floor and ordered the video guy to stand inside the tapes. Why do I care about this? Why don’t you? Let us remember that “if we suffer tamely a lawless attack upon our liberty, we encourage it, and involve others in our doom. It is a very serious consideration, which should deeply impress our minds, that millions yet unborn may be the miserable sharers of the event.” SA
