Letter: Agenda 21 Should Be Opposed

Resident supports Freeholders' resolution against United Nations initiative

More information on Agenda 21 is available online. Letter to the editor as submitted by Joseph Lypowy:

The Ocean County Board of Chosen Freeholders should be commended on a resolution they had adopted on February 15 of this year titled item #A-33 Resolution Opposing UN Agenda 21 Treaty.  By drafting this resolution, the Freeholders have demonstrated a high degree of understanding and foresight into dangerous supranational decrees established by the United Nations which erode national and local sovereignty and pose a severe danger to civil and property rights of American Citizens protected by the US Constitution.

All of our elected officials make an oath to “Uphold and protect the Constitution of the United States of America”, and by drafting this resolution, the Freeholder Board has shown its commitment to those vows which protect some of our most basic and sacred civil rights. The author of the resolution couldn’t have done a better job in the wording and exemplifies having done some serious research into this problem, and has drafted a document evoking much resolute, foresight and leadership.  Ocean County has joined scores of communities around the country who have stood up to protect our rights against UN imposed mandates attempting to make them void. Ocean County’s well drafted resolution will serve as a model for many other communities to follow throughout the nation.

The resolution clearly states that the UN “Agenda 21, attempts to erode the local control found in our communities across the nation, and turns home and regional rule over to a global agenda set by the United Nations”. It also states that “according to Agenda 21 policy, national sovereignty is deemed a social injustice”. Thank you Ocean County Freeholders!
