Public officials can take away your rights with a pen like a packman, a bit at a time. They just do it with the slow code, over a long period of time so you do not take action on any small taking until some day you wake up and find that you are holding and empty bag. You will not get compensation to boot. You can forward your trash emails to these officials. Do you think they want to hear from you? You can call them and tell them that their job is to protect your rights not take them away. Please help us save our farms value. They don't expect to be called. That is why you must do it. They remember the personal calls. Read this call to action and Help Us. May be they will become a trash bin for your junk emails. Why not forward your trash bin to them today?

We just found out that there is a large wind mill farm being placed near our son's property in Herkimer County NY. He will probably lose future uses of his property. There will be what is called a 1250' setback requirement that means there will be no new devolopment within that zone. His properety will be in that zone. The windmill be be on the neighbors property. We have no problem with the windmills on the neighbors property, just don't take away our property rights because of the neighbors use of his property. This amounts to a taking without compensation. I would call this legislative conmdenation. It can happen to you. Bit by bit our public officials use zoning to suit their needs, not to protect ours. If one should not build within 1250' of a wind mill why is a wind mill allowed to be built within 1250' of an existing house? The answer is simple, the public officials don't care about the citizens, they only care about their private agenda. How would they like to be trashed? There is a need for better standards about where the big windmills should be built, both to limit their impact on local communities and help prevent more disputes over the future our skyline. My sons property will be surrouned by windmills on three sides. If there are sounds coming on the property from three sides at once and the noise level is dangerous we will bring legal action against all parties that are respondsible for any of this noise pollution.

Please Tell Them not to support this taking...Most concerns are centered on destruction of the vistas and a decrease in property values that will occur if the turbines are built. As farmers we cherish the beauty of our land and detest its destruction. We hope to avoid the need for legal action but will hold public officials accountable for the wind farm if it is built. In the mean time, would you please email or call these public officials and help in the defence of our land? Thanks, Bill Hirst
