One of the best and most surprising advocates against Agenda 21 is a woman from California named Rosa Koire. Koire is a liberal Democrat who understands that Agenda 21 will destroy America as we know it. She travels the country giving speeches to both sides of the aisle, presenting her case against ICLEI and Agenda 21. Her website is included in the list below and is definitely worth a read if you’re interested in helping spread the truth.

Finally, since those who speak about Agenda 21 are constantly marginalized as radicals or conspiracy theorists, I wanted to include a link to the official 2012 GOP platform, which formalizes the party’s opposition to the plan:
We strongly reject the U.N. Agenda 21 as erosive of American sovereignty, and we oppose any form of U.N. Global Tax.
The complete GOP platform can be found at: http://www.gop.com/2012-republican-platform_exceptionalism

1 Rewilding may sound like a made-up term, but unfortunately it’s very real. The idea is to return large tracts (millions of acres) of North American land to pristine condition and restore predator habitats like those with wolves, jaguars, black bears, and coyotes. The Rewilding Institute (rewilding.org) is a major developer and promoter of these ideas.
