An estimated 800 people are living off the grid in Colorado, according to the Activist Post. From solar powered energy, growing your own food, and collecting rain water there couldn’t be anything further from the woes of commercial America in their community. The peace obtained after living in a demanding, consumer heavy society with regulations, and constant mafia style taxing has, unfortunatley, for these off-grid residents, come to a halt.
The government has waged a war on this self-reliant simple lifestyle because it does not fall in line with their control measures over the public. Jay Syrmopolous, explains on the next page how the government has begun efforts to ban ‘camping’ on ones own property, in order to force the off-grid homesteaders back onto the grid.
If there are issues to be addressed as to why these communities must go, the government clearly does not care about disputing and solving them as the regulations and restrictions for off the grid living have already begun.

I’m as conservative as they come, but no community can sustain a huge influx of people all using public services (roads, schools, emergency services) and not paying the normal taxes that would help pay to provide those services (as they would with a legitimate residental dwelling) 800 campers? This a whole community and bigger then some small rural cities. Now imiagine if everyone wanted to have mass camping on their property, picture your neighbor’s lawn covered in campers. What you that do to your property values? Would anyone want to buy your house if they knew they would be living next to 800 “campers” ? These people are not camping at all, they are taking up permanant resident there. The surrounding land owners have property right too, and they have the right to oppose 800 people setting up camp. What are they doing about human waste? Do they set up porta potties or just dig holes? Are there considerations for the location of others wells that provide drinking water? I’m all about less government, but since we all use services provided by tax revenu, everyone has to pay their share.
BS dare them to do anything about it. Sue them in court
so i guess going green does not comply with the left after all.this is a bit awkward, they want to cut green house gas, but if you do on your own you are breaking the law, can anyone tell why this is?????????
This government overreaching thier roles all together, this is or was supposed to be a free country.
Just like obozo!!! He wants all our resources!
What’s wrong with our government telling people what to do on their own property we need to tell the government to f*** off and handle more serious problems
BLM come knocking…..well shooting.
Freedom is dead in America
Jeff Miller –That is why you must replace them with freedom loving Americans.
Charles E Bither Sr –Never. Both want to tax us to pay for there agenda. Time for less government. People who love fredom and repect the laws of this land.
