Subj:    H.R. 1460

Dear Representative Wilson:

    I urge you to cosponsor H.R. 1460, the
"Second Amendment Rights Protection Act of 2001."
This bill is extremely important, since it will stop the
FBI attempts to register and tax gun owners. (On the
way, as in numerous other countries, to confiscation.)
    To rely on the police to police themselves is
never the best way to go. It is tantamount to a POLICE
STATE. This bill would help protect the privacy of all
American citizens from the totalitarianistic agenda of the
Radical Left.
    H.R. 1460 contains some real "teeth." It provides
aggrieved private citizens the ability to sue the FBI, and
to collect monetary damages -- including attorney's fees --
if a court determines the FBI is registering gun owners.
    You're doing a great job Heather, and I hope you
see the positive aspects of cosponsoring H.R. 1460.

               Sincerely,   Guy Hendrickson

Subj: Petition to The President of the United States

From: dythram@AOL.com (Guy Hendrickson)
To: president@whitehouse.gov CC: dythram@AOL.com

1. On September 11th, 2001, thousands of people lost their lives in
a brutal assault on the American people and the American form of
government. We mourn the loss of these innocent lives and insist
that those who perpetrated these acts be held accountable.

2. This tragedy requires all Americans to examine carefully the
steps our country may now take to reduce the risk of future terrorist
attacks.

3. We need to consider proposals calmly and deliberately
with a determination not to erode the liberties and freedoms that
are at the core of the American way of life.

4. We need to ensure that actions by our government uphold the
principles of a democratic society, accountable government and
international law, and that all decisions are taken in a manner
consistent with the Constitution.

5. We can, as we have in the past, in times of war and of
peace, reconcile the requirements of security with the demands of
liberty.

6. We should resist the temptation to enact proposals in the mistaken
belief that anything that may be called anti-terrorist will
necessarily provide greater security.

7. We should resist efforts to target people because of their race,
religion, ethnic background or appearance, including immigrants in
general, Arab Americans, and Muslims.

8. We affirm the right of peaceful dissent, protected by the First
Amendment, now, when it is most at risk.

9. We should applaud our political leaders in the days ahead who
have the courage to say that our freedoms should not be limited.

10. We must have faith in our democratic system and our Constitution,
and in our ability to protect at the same time both the freedom and
the security of all Americans.

Honorable Representative Baron Hill,

RE: HR 2421 -- Clean Water Restoration Act (National Wetlands Land Use Control Bill) is really a massive Federal land and water power grab.
It will use a broad definition of "wetlands" to take control over every farm, ranch, and piece of private property with any water on it, or even if the landowner only engages in activities that might affect water.

It expands the authority of the Federal government under the Clean Water Act of 1972 (which already infringed upon property rights) to include ALL waters of the U.S. and activities affecting these waters.

It will give the Corps of Engineers control over most private property.

In the words of Reed Hopper of Pacific Legal Foundation, lead attorney in a landmark U.S. Supreme Court victory, "...this bill pushes the limits of federal power to an extreme not matched by any other law, probably in the history of this country."

Below are my concerns and testimony regarding HR 2421, the inappropriately named Clean Water Restoration Act, which has little to do with clean water and is mostly about extending federal land use control.

The Constitutional “General Welfare” clause does not include broad, sweeping regulation of ancillary matters which are the purview of the States. Below the level of General welfare, it is left for the States to enter into agreements about local matters of mutual concern without interference or broad dictates from the federal level. This bill constitutes broad, sweeping regulation and arrogation of States Rights, despite snidely “permitting” States to also pass “more protective” regulation.

I believe a Congressional Representative has a duty, a sworn oath, to adhere to and champion the Constitutional and legal definitions of “property” and “ownership” rather than cooperating in the gradual governmental arrogation of property and erosion of human rights.

Please vote AGAINST HR 2421.

Please allow this Testimony to be submitted for the record for any additional hearings to be held on HR 2421, the Clean Water Restoration Act.

Please consider a photocopy of this document as valid as the original and include my testimony for the official record.

Guy Hendrickson
