Agenda 21 is being imposed on America by these radicals. You'll find it on the UN website, they don't even hide it any more. The 'wildlands' that Interior Secretary Salazar has decreed he has the power to create (Secretarial Order 3310, Dec 22, 2010) have the same weight as Wilderness Areas designated by Congress and may have the same restrictions imposed, just without any Congressional approval required.
This crap extends from the Federal Level right down to the lowliest HOA, and Americans have been rolling over before it like hail damaged grain.
The seizure of especially western lands is one of the most onerous and oppressive of the federal oppressions directed against the States. Yet how many Republicans so much as mention their opposition to this, or call for the return of those lands?
Even the Tea Party has not made a great issue of it. Yet each and every president now, Democrat or Republican, has seized more land from the States by dictatorial fiat. Without challenge, ever.
Why is that? More importantly, who among our representatives will not just make it stop, but restore those lands to their rightful owners?
