Subject: Chatham Farmers speak from the heart, while Chatham Liberals speak from a script
It appears that the suspicions of many farmers and other people from the Western part of Chatham County are true. The new liberal members of the Chatham County Commission wish to push though county wide zoning regardless of what the general public says.
We have several carpetbaggers from Pennsylvania, California and the Bahamas telling us that they know what is best for us all.
Farmers have come out to speak against county zoning in overwhelming numbers. And while Chatham Farmers speak from the heart, it appears that Chatham Liberals speak from a script.
We now know that the Chatham Liberals have put together a “List of Talking Points” in support of their unpopular position that their minions can use.
Go to http://www.chathamdemsnc.net/talking_zoning to see this list.
The liberals claim that these are the views of the Chatham County Democrats. They are not.
Former Democratic County Commissioner Tommy Emerson (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZWx0VrGWaj4) has spoken against county-wide zoning. Long-time Democrat and former planning board chairman Tommy Glosson has also spoken against county wide zoning. It is primarily the liberals of Chatham County who want to tell everyone what they can and cannot do with their land.
The Chatham Liberals state “The land will care for you, if you care for it.”
What the new commissioners from Pennsylvania, California and the Bahamas seem to forget is that it is the farmers whose families have farmed the land in Chatham County for generations that are, in fact, the ones that have cared for the land that has literally cared for them.
Come out to the Henry Dunlap building on Tuesday, April 21st at 6:30 pm and speak out against the tyranny.
In opposition to this unpopular county-wide zoning view being pushed by the elitist liberals of northeast Chatham County we have just started a new blog at http://chathamfarmersmatter.blogspot.com/
Please feel free to send your thoughts to us at
We will post the best ones on the blog!
