||
| 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; | ||
| although the agenda has no binding force on the federal government | ||
| or on any state or local government, 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 85th 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. | ||
