As American citizens and residents of California, we are guaranteed certain inalienable rights. Both the U.S. Constitution and the California Constitution state that we have these rights. I invite you to read the following items to better understand why you have a right not to be aerially sprayed by the California Department of Agriculture. (*emphases added by author, below)

The Constitution of the United States of America

We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union,
establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense,
promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves
and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

Section 1

All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof,
are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.
No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities
of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty,
or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction
the equal protection of the laws.

How Does This Apply to the Aerial Spraying of Americans?

1) We cannot enjoy domestic tranquility when our loved ones are sickened by a carcinogenic biochemical spray. Our children cannot be tranquil with airplanes flying over their homes, forcing them to inhale documented toxins, synthetics and plastics into their lungs. Our domestic situations are no longer free when third parties are permitted to douse our private properties with dangerous chemicals, against our stated wishes.

2) The general welfare of Americans is not being protected when international trade issues and the private interests of a select few wealthy men are being given priority over public health. As has been documented by accredited, independent scientists, the presence of the Light Brown Apple Moth presents no threat to California’s food or water sources, nor to their health. In stark contrast, the special interests determining to benefit financially from the spraying of Californians have caused serious documented medical harm to the people of California, to all farmers attempting to grow organic food for the people, and to our precious wildlife. The general populace is not being protected because of financial concerns.

3) We are deprived of liberty when we are told we have no vote as to whether we will consent to be aerially sprayed with carcinogens. Additionally, the spraying has already caused the near-death of an American infant boy and represents a serious, documented danger of fatality, whether immediately or in the long term, for all persons who may develop cancer or other diseases as a result of being exposed to the carcinogens and mutagens contained in the aerial spray compound.

California Constitution

ARTICLE 1 DECLARATION OF RIGHTS

SECTION 1. All people are by nature free and independent and have inalienable rights. Among these are enjoying and defending life and liberty, acquiring, possessing, and protecting property, and pursuing and obtaining safety, happiness, and privacy.

How Does This Apply to the Aerial Spraying of Californians?

We are not free when government agencies inform us that they will spray us against our stated will. Our liberty and lives are at stake in this crisis when substances known to cause cancer which leads to death are being introduced into our air, our watershed and our bodies. We have been told by the California Department of Agriculture, with the permission of the Governor of California, that we have no right to protect our private property from the trespass of low flying airplanes, polluting our private lands with their chemicals. This section of the California Constitution guarantees our right to obtain safety, despite the opinions and motivations of CDFA, our governor or any other entity.

We call upon the Governor of California, Arnold Schwarzenegger, the CDFA and USDA to obey the constitutions of our nations and states. We know our rights under these cherished documents and we insist that they be upheld by all citizens and governing agencies.

In addition to the two constitution, we also put forward the 10 points of the Nuremberg Code which were established at the end of WWII to protect human beings from ever being experimented upon again without their consent.

From Wikipedia:

Although the legal force of the document was not established and it was not incorporated directly into either the American or German law, the Nuremberg Code and the related Declaration of Helsinki are the basis for the Code of Federal Regulations Title 45 Volume 46[1], which are the regulations issued by the United States Department of Health and Human Services governing federally funded research in the United States. In addition, the Nuremberg code has also been incorporated into the law of individual states such as California, and other countries.

1. The voluntary consent of the human subject is absolutely essential. This means that the person involved should have legal capacity to give consent; should be so situated as to be able to exercise free power of choice, without the intervention of any element of force, fraud, deceit, duress, over-reaching, or other ulterior form of constraint or coercion; and should have sufficient knowledge and comprehension of the elements of the subject matter involved as to enable him to make an understanding and enlightened decision. This latter element requires that before the acceptance of an affirmative decision by the experimental subject there should be made known to him the nature, duration, and purpose of the experiment; the method and means by which it is to be conducted; all inconveniences and hazards reasonable to be expected; and the effects upon his health or person which may possibly come from his participation in the experiment. The duty and responsibility for ascertaining the quality of the consent rests upon each individual who initiates, directs or engages in the experiment. It is a personal duty and responsibility which may not be delegated to another with impunity.

2. The experiment should be such as to yield fruitful results for the good of society, unprocurable by other methods or means of study, and not random and unnecessary in nature.

3. The experiment should be so designed and based on the results of animal experimentation and a knowledge of the natural history of the disease or other problem under study that the anticipated results will justify the performance of the experiment.

4. The experiment should be so conducted as to avoid all unnecessary physical and mental suffering and injury.

5. No experiment should be conducted where there is an a priori reason to believe that death or disabling injury will occur; except, perhaps, in those experiments where the experimental physicians also serve as subjects.

6. The degree of risk to be taken should never exceed that determined by the humanitarian importance of the problem to be solved by the experiment.

7. Proper preparations should be made and adequate facilities provided to protect the experimental subject against even remote possibilities of injury, disability, or death.

8. The experiment should be conducted only by scientifically qualified persons. The highest degree of skill and care should be required through all stages of the experiment of those who conduct or engage in the experiment.

9. During the course of the experiment the human subject should be at liberty to bring the experiment to an end if he has reached the physical or mental state where continuation of the experiment seems to him to be impossible.

10. During the course of the experiment the scientist in charge must be prepared to terminate the experiment at any stage, if he has probable cause to believe, in the exercise of the good faith, superior skill and careful judgment required of him that a continuation of the experiment is likely to result in injury, disability, or death to the experimental subject.

How Does This Apply to the Aerial Spraying of Human Beings?
The people of Santa Cruz and Monterey Counties have already been sprayed with an untested combination of biochemicals against the stated will of the people and their civic governments, in violation of the Nuremberg Code which is upheld as a humane standard by enlightened and humane nations. The majority of the cities and counties set to be sprayed beginning in June of 2008 have already expressed in profound terms that they do not consent to aerial spraying and refuse to be the subjects in a human experiment. The California Department of Agriculture is, again, intending to act in total opposition to the 10 points of the Nuremberg Code. They must be held accountable for this decision to utterly disregard California’s adoption of the Nuremberg Code as the humane standard set in place to protect free people from experimentation without consent.

In a population of 659,911 human beings (Santa Cruz and Monterey Counties), 643 individuals reported health harm from the aerial spraying of their homes and persons. This represents .1% of the population who were able to find a way to report their immediate illnesses. 7 million people live in the area scheduled to be sprayed in 2008, and basic math indicates that public health servants may expect some 7,000 reports of physical harm from the spraying, in addition to the many cases of harm that will go undocumented due to a critical lack of health insurance coverage in California.

We must prevent the innocent children, men and women of California from being physically harmed by the actions of the CDFA in violation of the California and U.S. Constitutions and the Nuremberg Code. Government bodies must uphold the very laws which were created by governments to protect the free people of this nation. If they refuse to do this, we are no longer living in a Democratic Republic with a recognized constitution.

Please, phone Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger today at 1 (916) 445-2841 and ask him to uphold the Constitutions of the United States and California and the Nuremberg Code. It’s the law.
