8:30 am - Session 7 - What "Sustainable Development" is Doing to Freedom

Tom DeWeese - President of the American Policy Center, will lead this session, which analyzes just how sustainable development is eroding the principles of freedom in local communities throughout the country. His recently released DVD, "Liberty in the Balance" is a must for every organization. Tom is one of the most dynamic speakers in the country on Constitutional issues. Don't miss this session.

Michael Chapman - Find out how the sustainable development agenda is embedded in your children's curriculum and now mandated by federal law. His work with EdWatch has helped reject the "sustainable development" curriculum mandated by the "No Child Left Behind" program. Learn how his organization was able to influence the Minnesota State legislature to rewrite the state's curriculum to include education in the principles of freedom, instead of the principles of sustainable development.

Michael Shaw - is a founder of Freedom 21 Santa Cruz. His experience with the first Local Agenda 21 program in the nation has equipped him to provide outstanding leadership in developing organizational strategies to counter the impact of sustainable development.

10:30 - Noon - Session 8, Developing an effective response

Jim Burling - has litigated many important cases that establish case law in private property rights issues. His knowledge can help attendees avoid legal pitfalls and find strategies that may help keep private property in the hands of private individuals..

Chuck Cushman - is known by opponents as "Mr. Rent-a-Riot," because his response techniques have been especially effective. Learn how local grassroots actions can provide the impetus necessary to advance the principles of freedom in local, state, and national policy decisions.

Noon - Lunch on your own
2: pm - Session 8 - Reports from the field

Lori Waters - is the Executive Director of Eagle Forum's Washington office. As a resident of Loudoun County, Virginia, she saw the consequences of sustainable development, and became a successful candidate for the County Commission. She has led her county to reverse many of the sustainable development programs imposed by her predecessors.

Sylvia Allen - Founder of Arizona's People for the West in 1992, and now founding President of Freedom for America League, will report on events before and after the devastating Rodeo/Chediski fire that burned 500,000 acres - right up to her back door.

Clarice Ryan - will report on events and activities in Montana, where she works with Montanans for Multiple Use, and serves on the Bigfork land use advisory committee for the Flathead County Planning and Zoning Office.
