!CONVENTION  Of  The  STATES:      What is it?

Ci$zens  concerned  for  the  future  of  their  country,  under  a  federal  government  that's  increasingly  bloated,  corrupt,  reckless  and  invasive,  have  a  cons$tu$onal  op$on.  We  can  call  a  Conven$on  of  States  to  return  the  country  to  its  original  vision  of  a  limited  federal  government  that  is  of,  by,  and  for  the  people.  Why  Do  We  Want  to  Call  a  Convention  of  States?  Washington,  D.C.,  is  broken.  The  federal  government  is  spending  this  country  into  the  ground,  seizing  power  from  the  states  and  taking  liberty  from  the  people...The  federal  government  has  overreached  its  constitutionally-­‐established  boundaries  and  has  its  hands  in  almost  eve.ry  area  of  our  lives.  Our  children  and  grandchildren  will  inherit  a  bankrupt  nation  run  by  an  unaccountable  bureaucracy.  

Article  V  allows  us  to  call  a  Convention  of  States  to  restrict  the  power  and  jurisdiction  of  the  federal  government,  effectively  returning  the  citizens'  rightful  power  over  the  ruling  elite.  Together,  state  legislators  and  citizens  can  recover  the  checks  and  balances  on  federal  power  to  protect  our  liberty  from  the  abuses  in  Washington  DC

Lou  Oberman  speaking  on  Conven8on  of  the  States.    Lou  is  a    re$red  financial  advisor.    Since  October  2013  Lou  serves  most  of  San  Diego  County  as  a  District  Captain  for  Conven$on  of  the  States;  a  project  for  self  governance,and  is  here  to  present  their  story.    The  $tle  of  his  presenta$on  is  A  Solu8on  as  Big  as  the  Problem.    Lou  was  associated  with  the  Financial  services  community  and  in  1980  founded  Life$me  Financial  and  sold  the  business  in  2003  and  remained  a  consultant  un$l  his  re$rement

The American Smart Dream—Smart Growth Education Series, Part 5 of 6 by  Mary  Baker,  SDCFRW  Chair,  Local  Ac1vism  -­‐-­‐September  2014  Contact:  [email protected]  -­‐-­‐  Blog:  www.exurbiachronicles.com

Proponents  of  Sustainable  Development/Smart  Growth  are  actively  working  to  diminish  the  traditional  values  of  the  American  Dream  (opportunity  and  prosperity)  and  are  replacing  it  with  the  American  Smart  Dream  (wealth  redistribution  and  decreased  property  rights).    

To  smart  growth  planners,  social  injustice,  suburban  sprawl,  obesity,  and  climate  change,  represent  a  few  of  the  reasons  why  they  believe  it  is  necessary  to  change  how  we  plan  our  cities  in  the  21st  Century.    "We  must  creatively  change  the  way  we  live  and  work  to  set  the  stage  for  a  more  vibrant,  prosperous  future.”  They  believe  the  time  is  ripe  for  “The  Great  Reset”  and  the  overriding  message  is  that  smart  growth  is  the  solution  to  sustaining  the  American  Dream  for  future  generations.  

Their  view  of  the  American  Dream  is  that  it  is  only  available  to  some  because  ‘communities  of  concern’  (poor,  minorities,  elderly,  single  moms,  youth)  do  not  have  access  to  the  elusive  Dream.  For  “a  shot  at  the  American  Dream  of  opportunity  for  all”,  they  believe  smart  growth  principles  must  be  understood,  adhered  to  and  implemented  at  any  cost.  

To  understand  why  we  should  be  concerned  about  smart  growth  and  its  powerful  inOluence  over  the  American  Dream,  it  is  important  to  recognize  how  our  economy  has  evolved.  Over  the  past  century,  America  has  progressed  from  agriculture  and  manufacturing  economies,  to  a  resource  constrained,  knowledge-­‐based  economy.  Through  history,  land  use  patterns  have  evolved  based  on  the  needs  of  each  type  of  economic  base.  

A  knowledge-­‐based  economy  is  an  economy  centered  on  the  production  and  management  of  knowledge.  The  knowledge-­‐based  economy  is  the  latest  stage  of  development  in  global  economic  reform  and  creates  forces  of  change  that  affect  how  we  might  live  as  a  society.      

Since  the  knowledge-­‐based  economy  generally  requires  continual  creativity  and  dynamic  group  interaction  to  produce  innovative  technologies,  smart  growth  advocates  view  the  role  of  the  city  as  a  vital  center  for  synergy  and  collaboration;  a  place  where  the  ‘green  infrastructure’  offers  clusters  of  walkable,  mixed-­‐use,  high-­‐density  development  with  easy  access  to  transportation,  services,  and  parks.  

Smart  growth  advocates  love  this  push  toward  urbanization  because  it  supports  their  beliefs  in  

Social  equity  where  socio-­‐economic  classes  are  now  living  side-­‐by-­‐side  and  sharing  equal  advantages,  

• Economic  justice  where  opportunities  and  prosperity  are  more  equitably  distributed,  and    

• Environmental  justice  where  open  space  around  the  city  is  now  protected  from  sprawl,  species  are  preserved,  and  greenhouse  gases  are  mitigated  by  the  change  in  human  mobility  

The  transition  from  an  industrial  and  agricultural  economy  to  one  based  in  knowledge,  is  prompting  an  opportunity  for  them  to  push  us  out  of  rural  and  suburban  living  into  urban  settlements.  But  the  idea  of  stack  and  pack,  urban  settlements  is  not  new.  For  generations,  social  engineers  have  been  attempting  to  deOine  the  ideal  plan  for  human  settlements.The  Soviets  implemented  this  years  ago  with  the  same  bleak  results.
