Editor,

“Heart and Soul” … boy, now doesn’t that sound all warm and fuzzy. Exactly what it was intended to do: make you trust. I have heard that their goal is “smart growth” for Polson. “Smart growth” is part of the United Nations’ Agenda 21, a plan of radical so-called sustainable development that views the American way of life — private property ownership, single-family homes, private car ownership, etc. — all as destructive to the environment. Say no to socialism. 

I love my freedom, my life living in Polson.

I heard Heart and Soul wants to put another bike path in Polson. Hope it is around the lake. We have streets that need fixing, a sewer plant that needs immediate attention or improve our parks/museums for everyone. 

Orton Heart and Soul — the Orton Family Foundation is associated with “smart growth.” 

I ask the Polson community to seek the truth; fight for the right to be informed. “Smart growth” sounds good, but the truth I have read makes me believe Heart and Soul is bad for the Polson community and our freedom.   

The truth will set you free.
