Arizona to make sustainability illegal?
Down with the "occult of sustainability"!!!
But seriously, this is just MSNBC being alarmist, right? Arizona couldn't actually make this stuff illegal, could they???
Arizona lawmakers appear close to sending to Gov. Jan Brewer a tea party-backed bill that proponents say would stop a United Nations takeover conspiracy but that critics claim could end state and cities? pollution-fighting efforts and even dismantle the state unemployment office.
A final legislative vote is expected Monday on a bill that would outlaw government support of any of the 27 principles contained in the 1992 United Nations Rio Declaration on Environment and Development, also sometimes referred to as Agenda 21.
Campbell also said that the state?s Economic SecurityDepartment, which handles unemployment and welfare benefits, could be outlawed because it has to do with eradicating poverty.
Also, Arizona universities have sustainability programs that could be banned if the bill becomes law, Campbell warned.
Arizona State University has a School of Sustainability, Northern Arizona University offers a master's in sustainable communities, and the University of Arizona has an environment and sustainability portal.
Brewer, who last spring vetoed Burges' bill to require presidential candidates to prove their U.S. citizenship, typically does not comment on legislation until it reaches her desk, her spokesperson told msnbc.com Thursday.
About the Rio declaration, SB1507 says ?the United Nations has enlisted the support of numerous independent, shadow organizations to surreptitiously implement this agenda around the world.?
Rep. Terri Proud, R-Tucson, told supporters in an email that the U.N. declaration ?will take away our rights as Americans by allowing the United Nations to mandate laws on our soil,? the AzCapitolTimes.com reported. ?It?s very real and it is happening.?
The Times also reported that during House debate Wednesday, Rep. Jack Harper, R-Surprise, said the declaration is connected to the ?occult? of sustainability.
"The tea party and conspiracy theorists run the state now, Campbell told msnbc.com.

My mom has been warning me about Agenda 21 for a while now.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agenda_21
I think this is tied in to the bill that would supposedly shut down farmers markets and keep you from gardening in your backyard. I read up on it once and the interwebs told me it's not like that, srsly.
That's a rather generous view, IMO.
Also, good to know that we've sufficiently addressed being at or near the bottom of all states on nearly every important measure, and we can now focus on the things that really matter! Go Arizona!!!!!

And then I wonder wtf my mom and other tin foil hatters are finding horrible about this. Except the UN is involved, and we all know they're the One/New World Order boogeyman.
what I don't understand is why the teabaggers are suddenly so sure the UN/Agenda 21 is going to take over the world. Agenda 21 is already 20 years old and I haven't noticed an end of capitalism as we know it.

That's the problem - NO one has been paying attention and it's been slipping through right under our noses! I just started a new post on Agenda 21 - I'm interested in reading the responses.
