The Freedom to Garden and Protection of Nature Act

We are working on combining these two concepts into one working initiative

Protection of Nature Act

The people have a natural,

lawful and unalienable

right to all things nature

has provided

The people are the sole

owners and regulators of

their natural and individual

mind,body and soul

These ideas and self

evident truths come from

and are based uponnatural human rights as

defined by the

constitution, the

declaration of

independence, the magna

carta, and the the U.N.

declaration of human

rights

We the people hereby

submit and ordain

There shall be no rule

making or legislation, that

would prohibit or

otherwise take away the

right of the people to

consume, cultivate, sell or

trade any natural plant.



would prohibit or

otherwise take away the

right of the people to heal

themselves naturally with

herbs, oils, tinctures or

any natural foods or

plants.

The Freedom to Garden Human Rights Restoration Act

An Ordinance to restore the natural Human Right to grow

and use plants for the basic necessities of life.

Whereas in the State of California, the People of the

County of Lake do hereby Find, Declare and Ordain as

follows:

When in the course of human events, it becomes

necessary for people to reaffirm and reestablish the

fundamental human rights with which they are naturally

endowed, and to assume among the powers of the earth,

the equal station to which the laws of nature and of

nature's origins entitle them, and to recognize a decentrespect for the opinions of humankind, requires that they

should declare the causes which compel them to come

forward toward the reestablishment of those rights.

We hold these truths to be self-evident:

That all humans beings are created equal. That human

beings are naturally endowed with certain rights, and that

among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness,

and that to secure these rights, governments are

instituted, deriving their just powers from the consent of

the governed, and that whenever any form of governmentbecomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the

people to re-declare and reestablish the inherent human

rights that would intrinsically correct such governmental

negligence, and to reconstitute such in a form as to them

shall seem most likely to effect their safety and

happiness.

Therefore,in accordance with the 9th Amendment of the

Constitution of the United States of America, Amendment

IX: "The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights,

shall not be construed to deny or disparage others

retained by the people.", and also in accordance with the

California State Constitution, Article 1 Declaration of

Rights, Section 21.:

..."This declaration of rights may not be construed to

impair or deny others retained by the people.",

and, also as consistent with County of Lake Ordinance

No. 2267 in relation to private property rights, and,

whereas disregard and contempt for certain human rights

have resulted in barbarous acts which have outraged the

conscience of humankind, and, whereas in a world which

human beings endeavor to enjoy freedom of speech and

belief, and where freedom from fear and want has been

proclaimed as the highest aspiration of peopleseverywhere, be it here proclaimed that it has become

necessary to reaffirm and specifically re-constitute the

self evident inherent freedom to grow and use plants as

described herein:

the fundamental self evident right to have and grow the

natural plants of this earth, and the naturally occurring

seeds thereof,

to be used for their own needs as individuals in pursuit oflife and in effort to live, and that such basic human rights

have been recognized and acknowledged to exist, and
