Alabama Bans U.N. Agenda 21
Sovereignty Surrender

Lisa Jackson, enviro-governor?

Property Rights: Few have heard of Agenda 21, the U.N. plan for
sustainable development that tosses property rights aside. But Alabama has, and
it recently secured a victory as important as that over union power in
Wisconsin.

After Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker's stunning triumph over the excesses and
abuses of public-sector unions, the London Telegraph's James Delingpole, an
indefatigable opponent of global warming fraud, opined in a piece titled, "How
Wisconsin And Alabama Helped Save The World," that we should take note of "an
equally important but perhaps less well-publicized victory won in the Alabama
House and Senate over the U.N.'s malign and insidious Agenda 21."

Agenda 21 is one of those compacts, like Law of the Sea, Kyoto and New START,
that are supported by an apologetic administration with a fondness for the
redistribution of American power and wealth on a local and global scale.

It fits in perfectly with President Obama's pledge to "fundamentally
transform" America, its institutions and its heritage of capitalist freedom.

Agenda 21 has not been ratified by the U.S. Senate, but it may not have to be
if in a second Obama term the Environmental Protection Agency pursues it by
stealth, as it has other environmental agendas that make war on the free
enterprise system and rights we hold dear.

One of those is property rights. "Land ... cannot be treated as an ordinary
asset, controlled by individuals and subject to the pressures and inefficiencies
of the market," Agenda 21 says.

"Private land ownership is also a principal instrument of accumulation and
concentration of wealth and therefore contributes to social injustice; if
unchecked, it may become a major obstacle in the planning and implementation of
development schemes."

Not liking the sound of that, Alabama recently passed Senate Bill 477
unanimously in both of its houses. The legislation bars the taking of private
property in Alabama without due process and says that "Alabama and all political
subdivisions may not adopt or implement policy recommendations that deliberately
or inadvertently infringe or restrict private property rights without due
process, as may be required by policy recommendations originating in or
traceable to Agenda 21."

Agenda 21 is intended to foster what environmentalists call "sustainable
development" in the belief that man since the Industrial Revolution has been a
plague on the planet, plundering its resources while destroying nature and
putting the world at risk of disastrous climate change, poverty and disease.
