U.N. Agenda 21 "sustainable
development"
introduced in the U.S. Congress
(large pdf)
The old saying that "the devil is in the details" is obvious when it
comes to "sustainable development" (SD). Launched at the international
level, SD is promoted through U.N. Agenda 21 (a "global plan of
action"), U.N. Earth Charter initiatives, and Education for
Sustainable Development processes, to name a few. Less known is the
support for the global agenda by certain members of the U.S. Congress.
This document contains a list of bills introduced in the U.S. Congress
from 1987 to 2011 that are related to "sustainable development" agendas.
Collectively, the proposals underscore the fact that "sustainable
development" has tentacles reaching into all areas of
life, and, is behind many problems at local, county, state, and national
levels.
Looking at the bills, it becomes clear that we the people must elect
officials to represent us who will not allow the excessively regulatory,
costly, liberty- and property-rights-destroying "global plans" into our
institutions. We need representation by those who will
reject the unaccountable pressure groups that promote "sustainable
development" ideas that result in higher taxes, increased debt, and a
lower living standard. This means we must scrutinize our choices for
U.S. President, Congressional and state legislators, governors, city/
county/state officials, and school boards members.
For those who are unfamiliar with U.N. Agenda 21 and "sustainable
development", SECTION I contains some background information. But I
encourage you to seek others who -- through their years of research and
experience -- have much knowledge about the endless troubles that link
to these U.N. issues (see Learn More, p. 15-16).
