So, why are we even doing this if it opens the door for UN emblems being at the Alamo and possible "international assistance?" Extra foreign tourism is such a lame excuse. There is no way the UN will allow Texas to glorify our most historical site as place of heroic battle against Mexico.
On a side note, this could hurt Jerry Patterson's election chances for Lt. Governor, since he is advocating this.

When Klinton was president he signed over the national parks to the UN as heritage sites.

According to the author’s link to the U.S.’s tentative list, all of these sites, including the San Antonio Missions were added on January 30, 2008. This would mean globalist George W. would have signed off on it. Doesn’t mean they are heritage sites yet, it just means they are able to be nominated now.

At first I thought the UN was going to take over this company.
But knowing them they'd run it right into the ground.

Possibly, the reason is that it means more funding and tourism for the site management.
If it becomes a world heritage site, I doubt they could lift the structure and transport it out of Texas, which would be absurd.

So far there are 21 UN World Heritage Sites in the USA.

So far there are 13 properties that have been submitted on the tentative list although the Alamo is not listed yet.

Clinton non the less did sigh over properties of the us to the UN, some said for security of the national debt. While Clinton was in office there were Heritage signs at the entrances of parks. I saw them! They were there!

The Alamo is under the San Antonio Franciscan Missions
To: thetallguy24
The Daughters of the Republic of Texas have managed to fend off the infidels all these years. I trust they will save the Alamo from the globalists until someone has to pry their cold, dead hands off their keys to that beloved Shrine of Texas Liberty.
Don’t Mess With Texas.

The Connecticut state flag hangs in the Alamo because men from Connecticut died there defending it. The same is true for many other states. Read me the roll of Blue Helmets who died there defending the Alamo and we’ll talk about UN insignia or flags.

Patterson had damned well better explain his position on this issue, or he's lost my vote and that of every person that I can contact about it. Its bad enough that the friggin' UN is in NYC, but
inviting those bastards to Texas is UNACCEPTABLE.
Unless, of course, Patterson owns a company which supplies blue helmets to the UN - because they're going to need a LOT of new ones.

Usually, when the going gets tough, the Blue Helmets get going...home.
