Image from a quicklink (Image by Unknown Owner) Details DMCA | Tea Party activist Judd Saul admits that he can sound a little unhinged when he gets talking about an issue close to his heart that most Americans have never heard of - Agenda 21. If you don't know what it is, you're not alone - only about 15% of Americans do. It is a nonbinding U.N. resolution signed by more than 170 world leaders (including GHW Bush) at the 1992 Earth Summit as a way to promote sustainable development in the face of a rapidly growing global population. A small percentage of Americans say it is an attack on their very existence - part of a grand conspiracy to take away their gun rights, destroy suburbia,and turn America into a modern-day Soviet state.
At a local level across the country, conservative activists linked to the Tea Party movement have rallied around the cause of blocking development they say is part of the conspiracy. |
