            Rep. MacMaster offered the following resolution:

            House Resolution No. 186.  

            A resolution to oppose United Nations Agenda 21 and its impact to the founding principles of the United States, and to encourage local governments to be well-informed about the underlying harmful implications of adopting its strategies.

            Whereas, United Nations Agenda 21 is being introduced into local communities throughout the United States through the International Council of Local Environmental Initiatives, now known as ICLEI, the Wildlands Network, and local "sustainable development" policies such as Smart Growth, Resilient Cities, and Regional Visioning Projects; and

            Whereas, The Agenda 21 plan disrupts the principles upon which this country was founded and prospered. It describes social justice as the right and opportunity of all people to benefit equally from the resources afforded us by society and the environment, which would be accomplished by redistribution of wealth; and

            Whereas, Neither the federal government, nor any state or local government, is legally bound by United Nations Agenda 21; now, therefore, be it

            Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we oppose United Nations Agenda 21 and its impact to the founding principles of the United States, and encourage local governments to be well-informed about the underlying harmful implications of adopting its strategies; and be it further

            Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we urge the State of Michigan and its local governments not to adopt Agenda 21 related policies; and be it further

            Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the Michigan Municipal League, the Michigan Townships Association, the Michigan Association of Counties, and the members of the Michigan congressional delegation.
