CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
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.
