The Un Agenda 21 program is taking shape, they are clearly trying to take over rural America. Whenever you hear terms like these, you know that Agenda 21 is at work in your community. Thanks to Rosa Koire and her team at Democrats Against Agenda 21 we have this comprehensive list of key words and phrases that are often used at the local level when discussing Agenda 21 related initiatives.

It is a complete package of educational materials, strategy, tactics, training, and organizing–all done at the county level. It is based on the voluntary support of individuals, organizations, and representatives. Over 30% of America’s counties are at the brink of financial collapse, and they will collapse if federal overreach is allowed to continue. DRA, therefore, is at the forefront in providing strategies that can and will turn this around. The truth is disturbing The nation’s rural communities are under attack from every direction: agency abuses and threats; regulatory excesses; private property and water grabs; soaring costs, fees, penalties, and taxes; ceaseless lawsuits; predatory animal reintroductions; and more. And it is happening worldwide, not just in the U.S. Read this. The public has been mislead Few are aware this war is going on, so complete is the media blackout. Worse yet, the public increasingly votes adverse to rural interests, largely as the result of grossly false mis-information promoted by media and the educational system. Rural America is ill-prepared to defend itself Rural communities are typically small with small populations, modest incomes, little money, very limited government resources, and few attorneys. They work hard and don’t have much time to study the issues or go to meetings. They are busy trying to produce the things that sustain the rest of the nation. Crops and cattle, for example, don’t go home at 5:00 P.M. or take time off on weekends or holidays. Farmers and ranchers are on call 24/7/365 and don’t know what a 9-5 job is. They can’t just jump in the car to head off for a weekend or holiday getaway. These are labors of love. Rural America is our forgotten & overlooked national treasure defendruralamerica
