In April, Fauquier County threatened
Martha Boneta, owner of a small farm in Paris, VA, with thousands of
dollars in fines for a series of alleged violations, including
hosting "an event" on her farm without obtaining a special
events permit.
The event? A small birthday party for
the 10-year old daughter of a close friend, Robin Verity.
Martha was also cited for selling
produce directly to consumers from her farm without a license. But
Ms. Boneta paid for and received a county-approved business license
for a "retail farm shop" in June, 2011. However, just one
month later, the county Board of Supervisors approved an amendment
that restricted "farm sales", and began issuing citations
to farmers in the area.
Farmers in the area believe this is a
violation of Virginia's "Right to Farm Act", which bars
governments from restricting the rights of farmers from earning a
living, so they orchestrated a protest during Martha's Board of
Zoning Appeals hearing on August 2nd, 2012.
Increasing economic freedom matters to
people like Martha. But it also matters to consumers everywhere who
should be free to choose the foods they want and buy directly from
the farm that produced them.
P.S. Our troops are needed in Virginia to fight for our freedom. On second thought, if our troops were in Virginia, they'd be obeying orders to enforce the law of the ruling elite restricting Martha's freedoms, just as they are obeying orders overseas to enslave others around the world to the same ruling elite that rules us here.

Every year that passes with the jew in control the US becomes more like the former (also jew-controlled) USSR. Totalitarianism, slavery and genocide are as kosher as bagels. Small, independent white farmers(Kulaks)and businesses are anathema to the jew. Soon, the US will have its internal passports and GULAG too; it's the jew way.
