Property Rights Education Conference Start: 9:00 am End: 4:00 pm A Property Rights Education Conference will be held on August 20, 2009 in the Jepson Center’s Wolff Auditorium at Gonzaga University. Sessions are scheduled from 9:00 am until 4:00 pm. Parking is free. The featured keynote speaker is Mountain States Legal Foundation CEO William Perry Pendley. “Our constitutional liberties are under siege today more than at any time in our country’s history,” said Pendley, “including the right to own and use property. It is vitally important that all Americans inform themselves about the threats to our liberties and take action to fight back. This conference is an excellent first step in doing just that.”

The only sustainable form of food production is organic.

Fact: Yield would decline by 30 to 40 percent if the industry converted to totally organic food production, according to studies. To produce necessary nitrogen, unachievable shifts in green manure or cattle production would need to occur.
