agenda 21 and shit Republicans say

WHEREAS, the United Nations Agenda 21 is a comprehensive plan of extreme environmentalism, social engineering, and global political control that was initiated at the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED) held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in 1992; and,
WHEREAS, the United Nations Agenda 21 is being covertly pushed into local communities throughout the United States of America through the International Council of Local Environmental Initiatives (ICLEI) through local “sustainable development” policies such as Smart Growth, Wildlands Project, Resilient Cities, Regional Visioning Projects, and other “Green” or “Alternative” projects; and
WHEREAS, this United Nations Agenda 21 plan of radical so-called “sustainable development” views the American way of life of private property ownership, single family homes, private car ownership and individual travel choices, and privately owned farms; all as destructive to the environment; and,
WHEREAS, according to the United Nations Agenda 21 policy, social justice is described 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 socialist/communist redistribution of wealth; and,
WHEREAS, according to the United Nations Agenda 21 policy National sovereignty is deemed a social injustice; now therefore be
RESOLVED, the Republican National Committee recognizes the destructive and insidious nature of United Nations Agenda 21 and hereby exposes to the public and public policy makers the dangerous intent of the plan; and therefore be it further

President before election George H. W. Bush Republican Elected President Bill Clinton Democratic

TheUnited States presidential election of 1992 had three major candidates: IncumbentRepublican President George H. W. Bush; Democratic Arkansas GovernorBill Clinton, and independent Texas businessman Ross Perot.

Bush had alienated much of his conservative base by breaking his 1988 campaign pledge against raising taxes, the economy was in a recession, and Bush's perceived greatest strength, foreign policy, was regarded as much less important following the dissolution of the Soviet Union and the relatively peaceful climate in the Middle East after the defeat of Iraq in the Gulf War.

Clinton won a plurality in the popular vote, and a wide Electoral Collegemargin. The election was a significant realigning election after three consecutive Republican landslides, as the Democratic Party picked up support in the Northeast, the Great Lakes region and California, but only carried four states in Clinton's native South.

Clinton chose U.S. Senator Al Gore (D-Tennessee) to be his running mate on July 9, 1992. Choosing fellow Southerner Gore went against the popular strategy of balancing a Southern candidate with a Northern partner. Gore did serve to balance the ticket in other ways, as he was perceived as strong on family values and environmental issues, while Clinton was not.^[2]Also, Gore's similarities to Clinton allowed him to push some of his key campaign themes, such as centrism and generational change.^[3]

Main article: Ross Perot presidential campaign, 1992

The public's concern about the federal budget deficit and fears of professional politicians allowed the independent candidacy of billionaire Texan Ross Perot to explode on the scene in dramatic fashion—at one point Perot was leading the major party candidates in the polls.^[4] Perot crusaded against the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), internal and external national debt, tapping into voters' potential fear of the deficit. His volunteers succeeded in collecting enough signatures to get his name on the ballot in all 50 states. In June, Perot led the national public opinion polls with support from 39% of the voters (versus 31% for Bush and 25% for Clinton).^[4] Perot severely damaged his credibility by dropping out of the presidential contest in July and remaining out of the race for several weeks before re-entering. He compounded this damage by eventually claiming, without evidence, that his withdrawal was due toRepublican operatives attempting to disrupt his daughter's wedding.^[5]

At a time when Ross Perot's candidacy once again appeared to be transforming the Presidential contest, the Texas billionaire offered a new explanation today for his decision in July to abandon the campaign. He said he had withdrawn after hearing that President Bush's campaign was scheming to smear his daughter with a computer-altered photograph and to disrupt her wedding.

He bristled at the idea that many Americans were viewing him as "a quitter," but the reasons he gave were that he thought the Democratic Party had been revitalized and that he did not want to force the contest to go to the House of Representatives.

The accusations also seemed calculated to feed a perception, fueled by Democrats and earlier in the race by Mr. Perot, that Republicans will do anything to win the White House.

With roars of approval from his supporters, Mr. Perot declared that he did not want to ruin the wedding, saying, "This is one of the most important days of her life, and I love her too much to have her hurt."

In the interviews and in the appearances today, Mr. Perot described what sounded more like a shadowy underworld than a Presidential campaign.

"I couldn't believe that anyone representing the President of the United States would stoop to these lows," he said on "60 Minutes," referring to a purported scheme to wiretap his office.

(!? I can.)

He said Republican plotters planned to alter a photograph of his daughter, Carolyn, using computer techniques to"put a head on another body," and that this would be given to supermarket tabloids. He was not specific about what the photo would show.

He told The Boston Herald that the plotters were "actually going to have people in the church to disrupt her wedding." Mr. Perot did not say what the disruption would consist of, but he took no chances when the ceremony was actually held, in August. "We had to have extraordinary precautions at the wedding," he told "60 Minutes."

Mr. Perot said that even after he left the race the Bush campaign cooked up a plan to install eavesdropping devices in his business office in Dallas. He said "a source" sent him "a floor plan, layout of my floor, and telephone numbers they wanted to tap."

Mr. Perot said he turned the material over to the law-enforcement authorities, who then asked him to make a tape recording of his own voice to use as bait for a trap.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation confirmed in August that it was investigating accusations that someone had bugged Mr. Perot's office telephone and then had offered the tapes to Mr. Bush's campaign chairman in Texas. The Bush campaign chairman refused the tapes and notified the F.B.I., Federal officials said.

A senior law-enforcement official said today that the bureau's Dallas office investigated Mr. Perot's accusations but came up with no evidence of wrongdoing. Officials also confirmed that Mr. Perot had been asked to make the tape.

After he withdrew from the race, Mr. Perot said, he was scheduled to meet with the President, but when he let it be known through aides that he intended to confront Mr. Bush with his suspicions "of dirty tricks, the meeting was canceled." Later, he did meet with James A. Baker 3d, Mr. Bush's chief of staff, and laid out his accusations, Mr. Perot told The Herald. Lack of Denials

He suggested that the lack of direct White House denials at the time was suspicious. "I just find it fascinating," he told the newspaper, "that neither George Bush nor Jim Baker would ever come back and say: 'Perot, you're crazy. We didn't do this.' "

The only source that Mr. Perot would identify for his accusations was Scott Barnes, a former Inglewood, Calif., police officer who for years has been accused of fabricating stories about undercover plots and dirty tricks.

Mr. Perot said in the "60 Minutes" interview that Mr. Barnes was one of those who told him of the doctored photograph. Mr. Barnes had a dress shop in Prescott, Ariz., but it is now closed. He could not be reached today for comment.

Mr. Perot said he would not have dropped out of the race if Mr. Barnes were his only source. Two "longtime friends" also talked to him "totally independently from Scott Barnes," he said.

Mr. Perot said that among the people he told of the dirty tricks at the time was James Squires, his press secretary. Mr. Squires said in a telephone interview this evening that the night before Mr. Perot dropped out, "he gave me six or seven reasons why he was going to quit the next day -- this was one he asked me to not say anything about."

Mr. Squires said that while Mr. Perot told him of a doctored photograph, "I never did get the nature of the photograph."

While Mr. Perot refused to identify any Republicans behind the efforts, Mr. Perot said: "This is at the top. This was run at the top. You know, everybody up there panicked in May and June when I was leading everybody in the polls. And they went crazy and they lost their good sense, and they started doing things like this."

The Bush campaign dismissed the accusations today "With just 10 days to go before the election," its statement said, "it is the height of irresponsibility for '60 Minutes' to air these unsubstantiated charges."

(The height of irresponsibility. In hindsight, that's so rich.)
