Question:
What is your opinion on the attached proposed county resolution to expose UN Agenda 21?
Thank you for your public service. - Al
Response from Joe Kelley:
"I agree and support the resolution to expose UN Agenda 21. UN Agenda 21 is not ratified by the United States of America. I believe UN Agenda 21 is a subversion of the Constitution of the United States of America. UN Agenda 21 continues to infiltrate all government, the June 9, 2011 Executive Order 13575 reads in part: Strong, sustainable rural communities are essential to winning the future and ensuring American competitiveness in the years ahead. The Executive Order reference "sustainable rural communities," which is a reference to "sustainable development" the nomenclature for the United Nations Agenda 21 program What is sustainable development in the United Nations Agenda 21 program? It calls for government to curtail and even eliminate your freedom to travel as you please, own a gas-powered car, live in a suburban or rural areas, determine the number of children you may have, determine the "rates of harvest" of farms and fisheries, eliminate your private property rights through eminent domain, and increase the price on goods and services through artificial shortages and new consumer taxes. Does that sound familiar? In Calaveras County, we were given Delphi Technique strategies for the General Plan's land use. The people were given 3 options with the same outcome, the implementation of UN Agenda 21 strategies of giving up our Constitutional rights. The latest UN Agenda 21 tentacles issue was the approval of the Toulumne-Stanislaus Integrated Regional Water Management Plan (IRWMP). Only Supervisor Spellman voted "NO".
I recommend reading Undermining Freedom in Calaveras County by Tonja Dausend, published by the Calaveras County Taxpayers Association.
My suggestions to Calaveras County Government:
Remove UN Agenda 21 strategies from the General Plan & Elements.
Respect liberty, property rights and Constitutional law.
Stop the subversion of the Constitutions (U.S.A. & California)
Elected representatives and government employees respect the "Oath of Office", SUPPORT AND DEFEND THE CONSTITUTION! "
Response from Bryce Randall:
"The first time I heard anything about U.N. Agenda 21 was while attending a Calaveras County Board of Supervisor's meeting when it was brought to the attention of the Board by the CCTA. Because I had no knowledge of the U.N. agenda, or it's contents, it didn't make any sense to me, but I thought if it was important enough to CCTA to bring it up in a meeting, then I should do some investigating of my own. I began to do some research and then while attending my first Tea Party meeting it was again addressed. I don't think most people know anything about it or that a U.N. resolution has anything to do with us locally. Some people belong to local well meaning groups, without understanding the connection that is there, if only in common, good intentioned goals.
We may not have people from the U.N. running around our county but the International Council for Local Environmental Initiatives (I.C.L.E.I.) has been as close as next door in Amador County. The wording used by U.N. Agenda 21 and I.C.L.E.I. is also used by groups here in our county.
I would encourage everyone to do their own research and form their own opinion. In my opinion, if the goals of U.N. Agenda 21 are to subvert our personal rights and freedoms through local, regional or global manipulation, in any form, then it needs to be stopped.
I would support the passing of the proposed county resolution. We should not be afraid to take a stand against any intrusion to our rights as American Citizens.
Bryce Randall
Candidate District 2 Supervisor"
Response from Tom Tryon:
"__I am strongly opposed to agenda 21 and to your proposed resolution. The spirit of agenda 21 is incorporated in much of state law. Your resolution would deny the county the ability to apply for planning and department of transportation grants. The county has applied for a Cal Trans grant for the copper community plan update. Also to have a legally defensible general plan, the county will need to incorporate some agenda 21 principles in the updated general plan per state law. Please, no more questions on agenda 21. Let us discuss issues over which the county has discretion. Tom"
Calaveras County Resolution
Exposing United Nations Agenda 21
WHEREAS, the United Nations Agenda 21 is a comprehensive plan of extreme environmentalism, social engineering, and global political control that was initiated at the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED) held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in 1992; and,
WHEREAS, the United Nations Agenda 21 is being covertly pushed into local communities throughout the United States of America through the International Council of Local Environmental Initiatives (ICLEI) through local “sustainable development” policies such as Smart Growth, Wildlands Project, Resilient Cities, Regional Visioning Projects, and other “Green” or “Alternative” projects; and,
WHEREAS, this United Nations Agenda 21 plan of radical so-called “sustainable development” views the American way of life of private property ownership, single family homes, private car ownership and individual travel choices, and privately owned farms; all as destructive to the environment; and,
WHEREAS, according to the United Nations Agenda 21 policy, social justice is described as the right and opportunity of all people to benefit equally from the resources afforded us by society and the environment which would be accomplished by socialist/communist redistribution of wealth; and,
WHEREAS, according to the United Nations Agenda 21 policy National sovereignty is deemed a social injustice; now therefore be
RESOLVED, that in order to protect property rights, the Calaveras County Board of Supervisors recognizes the insidious nature of United Nations Agenda 21 and hereby exposes to the public and public policy makers the dangerous intent of the plan; and therefore be it further
RESOLVED , that neither the U.S. government nor state or local government is legally bound by the United Nations Agenda 21 treaty in that the treaty has never been ratified by the U.S. Senate; and therefore be it further
RESOLVED, that the implementation of United Nations Agenda 21strategies for “sustainable development” at the federal and state and local governments across the country will have destructive repercussions and we hereby endorse rejection of its radical policies and rejection of any grant monies attached to it.
