BREAKING: Oklahoma Legislators Vote to Nullify Agenda 21
OKLAHOMA CITY, Mar. 4, 2014 – A bill that would nullify Agenda 21 in Oklahoma passed through the state house today.
“This
bill protects your private property from being acquired by eminent
domain from without a public vote or public hearing,” said bill sponsor,
Rep. Lewis Moore.
HB2807,
known as the “Oklahoma Community Protection Act,” would prohibit any
state agency or political subdivision from adopting or implementing
“policy recommendations that deliberately or inadvertently infringe upon
or restrict private property rights without due process.”
It also would void any previous commitments which may have been made under Agenda 21 or a similar program.
It
reads, “any debt or commitment to an international or federal entity
whereby the citizens did not have the ability to exercise their
constitutional rights shall be considered null and void.”
The bill passed by a vote of 66-26.
The
United Nations passed Agenda 21 in 1992 at its Conference on
Environmental and Development. The global initiative encompasses a wide
range of programs meant to promote “sustainability.” It works its way
into the U.S. system through a back door strategy, targeting local
governments. Objections to Agenda 21 include violations of personal
property rights, the erosion of state and local authority, and binding
of the United States to international agreements contrary to the U.S.
Constitution.
HB2805
now moves to the state senate, where it will first need to be passed by
a committee before the full senate has an opportunity to concur.
The Tenth Amendment Center,
a national think tank focused on reclaiming state power from the
federal government, has been following the bill closely and working
directly with legislators to ensure its success.
