             and support what you have written. These will generate more letters from others, some for your
             position and other against you. Be prepared to answer those against you as they are probably written
             by those “Stakeholders” who are implementing the policies in the first place. This may be a useful
             place for you to use what you’ve learned about these groups to discredit them.”

             “Second, begin to attend Council meetings and ask questions. The response from the council members
             will determine your next move. If you are ignored and your questions met with silence or hostility,
             prepare a news release detailing your questions and the background you have as to why you asked
             those questions. Pass the news release out to the people at the next meeting as well as the news media.
             Attend the next meeting and the next demanding answers. Be sure to organize people to come with
             you. Don’t try this alone. If necessary, have demonstrators outside city hall carrying signs or handing
             out flyers with the name and picture of the officials who won’t answer your questions along with the
             question you asked – including the details you have about the policy.”
             “The point in all of this is to make the issue public. Take away their ability to hide the details from the
             public. Expose the hordes of outsiders who are dictating policy in your community. Force the people
             you elected to deal with YOU – not the army of self-appointed “stakeholders” and government
             officials. Shine a very bright spotlight on the rats under the rock. If the newspaper is with you, great,
             but you will probably find it with the other side. It may be difficult to get a fair shake in the newspaper
             or on radio. That’s why you deliver your news releases to both the media and the public. Get signs, and
             flyers in stores if necessary. And keep it up for as long as it takes. Have the tenacity of the folks in
             Egypt who would not leave the demonstration until they had acquired victory.”

             “The final step is to use the energy you have created to run candidates for office against those who
             have ignored and fought you. Ultimately, that is the office holders worst nightmare and may be the
             most effective way to get them to respond and serve their constituents.”

             DEFEATING A GREEN INITIATIVE

             Newly elected Councilman, Mike Munzing of Aliso Viejo, California arranged and processed 244
             questions regarding the Green City Initiative and submitted them to the Planning Director. Many
             aware people contributed to the list of questions. The Planning Director was stumped and baseless
             plan was foiled. Protect your town from Agenda 21 policies and use these questions to hold your public
             officials accountable.

             “ACTUAL Questions Sent to Director of Planning & staff regarding Aliso Viejo’s GCI

             Question #1. Are you aware of the factual error on page 3 Green City Initiative (GCI)? “’Global
             warming’ refers to the average increase in the atmosphere’s temperature caused by increased
             greenhouse gas emissions from human activities.” Whose definition is this? This is an arbitrary
             political definition. The scientific definition includes all sources, not just “human activities.”

             Question #2. "Climate change," according to the National Academy of Sciences, refers to any
             significant, measurable change of climate lasting for an extended period. (Page 3 GCI). Define what
             is significant, how that measure was determined, and by whom. How do you accurately and
             separately identify “natural factors” from “human activities”?

             Question #3. “Importantly, "climate change" implies the possibility it can be slowed or reversed with
             appropriate and necessary efforts of us all.” Page 3 GCI. Please justify this unfounded claim. Where
             did this implication originate? The City of Aliso Viejo is approximately 7 square miles in area. Please
             provide the calculated climate change impact which the GCI will produce.

             Question #4. “climate change is a widely accepted fact among the scientific community.” Page 3
             GCI. Please identify a time when the climate has not changed.
