Southern Utah Residents United in Their Dislike for UN, Big Gov't
By Jim Brown July 24, 2001
(AgapePress) - Towns in southern Utah are taking bold measures to defend
their constitutional rights, but never did they imagine that their battle
against the United Nations and big government would attract so much national
attention.
CNSNews reports the town of Escalante is considering a city ordinance that
would require most heads of a household to own a gun. Virgin, a town 40 miles
away, adopted a similar law earlier this year.
Recently, the town of Washington City passed a resolution that supports
repealing the 17th Amendment, which makes the election of U.S. senators a
popular vote rather than a decision by state legislatures. Supporters say the
proposal would make senators more beholden to their constituents interests.
Meanwhile, CNSNews reports a federal mandate protecting a desert tortoise
habitat has blocked off 75,000 acres of land and forced Washington City to
spend over $150,000. Residents of southern Utah already feel burned by the
Clinton Administration's 1996 decision to create the Escalante-Grand
Staircase National Monument, which forced closure of two million acres of
coal-rich land to mining and development, limiting land-use rights for
farmers and ranchers.
However, even more than the federal government, locals fear the UN and its
aggressive measures on the environment, gun control, and population control.
In a symbolic protest of the UN, the La Verkin City Council passed an
ordinance July 4 declaring the village a 'UN-free zone,' making it a
misdemeanor to engage in UN activities. Now Virgin and a pair of other towns
-- Toquerville and Hurricane -- are considering their own UN-blocking
ordinances.
I believe my rights come from God, not from the United Nations, says
Hurricane resident Don Tait. Tait and others feel the UN's goal is to become
a global government that will sabotage rights guaranteed by the U.S.
Constitution.
