Chris Dodd bows to global governance (Agenda 21)

There is nothing ambiguous or uncertain about this statement: The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people. (10th Amendment) Where in the Constitution does Sen. Christopher Dodd find any authority to even propose his "Livable Communities Act"?

Article I, Section 8, Clause 1, authorizes Congress "to lay and collect taxes for the common defense and general welfare" of the United States. The next 17 paragraphs define the specific area of activity the founders considered to encompass the "general welfare." To ensure there was no misinterpretation or misunderstanding of their intention to limit the power of the federal government, the founders included the 10th Amendment in the Bill of Rights. There is no constitutional authority for the federal government to be involved in how state and local communities organize themselves.

Global governance, however, says: All countries should establish as a matter of urgency a national policy on human settlements, embodying the distribution of population, and related economic and social activities, over the national territory. Jerome Corsi's blockbuster reveals globalists' plan to put U.S. on the chopping block -- "America for Sale: Fighting the New World Order, Surviving a Global Depression, and Preserving USA Sovereignty" Agenda 21, Chapter 10 declares: Expanding human requirements and economic activities are placing ever increasing pressures on land resources, creating competition and conflicts and resulting in suboptimal use of both land and land resources.

In fact, our Constitutional form of government is being completely destroyed
because buried in the CLEAR Act (HR 3534) there is a provision for a new council
to oversee the outer continental shelf- it appears that this Regional Outer
Shelf Council will be part of the National Ocean Council. This means that if
Congress makes the CLEAR Act into law, then the implementation of the UN Law Of
Sea Treaty, as part of the National Ocean Council’s agenda, will be “ratified”
in a convoluted and stealth manner, in full opposition to the Constitution...The
National Ocean Council’s main objective is to sink American sovereignty through
the United Nations Law Of Sea Treaty (LOST) with the intended result of
domination by the UN over our coasts and the Great Lakes. LOST originated in the
1970s as a wealth redistribution plan to benefit Third World countries. LOST
sets rules for commercial activity beneath the high seas and establishes new
international bureaucracies and a tribunal to interpret and apply rules to sea
activity. And LOST can proceed with those rules, even against US objections!
LOST threatens to complicate deep sea mining. LOST sets a precedent that US
rights are dependent upon the approval of international entities. LOST also
extends to ocean flowing rivers.... The report further states that signing onto
the Council’s plan would be an “express commitment by the partners to act in
accordance with the plan...” (pg. 20) Therefore, it is imperative that all of
the states be aware of the Council’s intended usurpation and carefully protect
their Constitutional jurisdictions and sovereignty. There are 30 states that
will be affected by this new council. (pg. 12)
The Council’s strategy plan will go into effect immediately, fully developing
Agenda 21 objectives and undue UN influence within 5 years. Interestingly, one
article said that if state, local and tribal authorities choose not to
participate in in writing the plans, the plans would be written without them.
Therefore, it bears repeating that state and local governments must protect
their Constitutional authority when dealing with the Council. The Constitutional
authority that states and local governments have can only be taken if the power
is given away...
SAVING OUR COUNTRY:
If your freedom is important to you, the most effective action that you can take
is to e-mail this article and Michael Shaw’s “Understanding Agenda 21
Sustainable Development” booklet to all of your State Legislators, County
Commissioners/ Superintendents and City Council members.
Tell all of your friends, co-workers and neighbors about Agenda 21 Sustainable
Development and how it is destroying our country. The National Ocean Council is
detrimental on so many levels and the time to act is now. If state and local
officials refuse to stand up against this federal incursion, they must be thrown
out of office in favor of representatives who support the Constitution and the
Tenth Amendment.
