||
WHEREAS, United Nations Agenda 21 is a comprehensive plan | ||
that promotes environmental extremism and social engineering; and | ||
WHEREAS, Initiated at the United Nations Conference on | ||
Environment and Development held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in | ||
1992, Agenda 21 pushes so-called "sustainable development" that | ||
would be implemented at the expense of private property ownership, | ||
single-family homes, and individual transportation choices; and | ||
WHEREAS, This pernicious agenda is being advanced in | ||
communities across the United States by ICLEI—Local Governments for | ||
Sustainability, which supports such programs as "Smart Growth | ||
America," "Resilient Cities," and other "green" projects; and | ||
WHEREAS, Through Agenda 21, the United Nations is attempting | ||
to exert an anticapitalist influence on American communities; | ||
currently, the agenda has no binding force on the federal | ||
government or on any state or local government, but it is vital that | ||
all agencies, entities, and governments remain vigilant about its | ||
radical policies and reject its implementation outright; now, | ||
therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the 83rd Legislature of the State of Texas | ||
hereby express its opposition to United Nations Agenda 21; and, be | ||
it further | ||
RESOLVED, That the Texas secretary of state forward official | ||
copies of this resolution to the president of the United States, to | ||
the president of the Senate and speaker of the House of | ||
Representatives of the United States Congress, and to all the | ||
members of the Texas delegation to Congress with the request that | ||
this resolution be officially entered in the Congressional Record. |
