All Amanda T (OK-SAFE) found this. Read closely and make note of the language/terms used. This is SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT even if the term was not used. This is pure socialism. Note the part that essentially blames every malady known to man on our failure to pass legislation promoting sustainable development and the redistribution of resources. As Amanda suggest, we need to make a few calls to him and our own legislator. Please let me know when you call them and what their response was.
Found Senate Concurrent Resolution (SCR) 27 filed by Senator Jerry Ellis for the 2012 session.
Ellis seems like a nice enough person; not sure who provided him with the language and persuaded him to run it, but it is pure "sustainable development" Agenda 21-type language.
Might want to email/call him and ask him to pull this bill.

WHEREAS, We, the Oklahoma Legislature, commit ourselves to building a humane, equitable and caring society, cognizant of the need for human dignity for all; and

WHEREAS, we reaffirm our pledge to place particular focus on, and give priority attention to, the fight against conditions in Oklahoma that pose severe threats to the health and welfare of our people, which include chronic hunger, malnutrition, illicit drug problems, organized crime, corruption, natural disasters, environmental pollution, drought, terrorism, intolerance and incitement to racial, ethnic, religious and other hatreds, endemic communicable and chronic diseases; and
WHEREAS, we believe that in pursuit of their legitimate activities, the private sector has a duty to contribute to the evolution of equitable and sustainable communities and societies, recognizing there is a need for private sector corporations to enforce corporate accountability, which should take place within a transparent and stable regulatory environment; and

WHEREAS, we recognize that as Oklahoma grows to provide a brighter future for our children, conflicts will escalate as demands for resources, including water, productive agricultural land, and mineral resources increase.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE SENATE OF THE 2ND SESSION OF THE 53RD OKLAHOMA LEGISLATURE, THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES CONCURRING THEREIN:
THAT to overcome these conflicts and ensure a sustainable partnership of our government, people, and the businesses and industries located in our state, we resolve to promote sustainable practices in the development of our state's natural resources.

This comes from experts in the subject of SD that i and Amanda have known for several years. You will find this invaluable in understanding the subject of SD/Agenda21 and just how it is being pushed and by who.

Debra Niwa is a first class, tenacious researcher. She spends months searching for and reading all kinds of documentation before she even attempts to begin a thesis on her collected materials. We are so very fortunate to have her as a friend and colleague. I thank God every day for her brilliant mind, her dogged research and her generous heart. She has received nothing and asked nothing for her body of work which she's shared with all of us over these many years. Thank you, Debbie.

How many bills have been introduced in the U.S. Congress to promote United Nations' Agenda 21 objectives and turn them into policy? The attached 254-page pdf contains my three months of research that begins to answers the question.

From the cover page:
U.N. Agenda 21 "sustainable development" introduced in the U.S. Congress
The old saying that "the devil is in the details" is obvious when it comes to "sustainable development" (SD). Launched at the international level, SD is promoted through U.N. Agenda 21 (a "global plan of action"), U.N. Earth Charter initiatives, and Education for Sustainable Development processes, to name a few. Less known is the support for the global agenda by certain members of the U.S. Congress.
This document contains a list of bills introduced in the U.S. Congress from 1987 to 2011 that are related to "sustainable development" agendas. Collectively, the proposals underscore the fact that "sustainable development" has tentacles reaching into all areas of life, and, is behind many problems at local, county, state, and national levels.
Looking at the bills, it becomes clear that we the people must elect officials to represent us who will not allow the excessively regulatory, costly, liberty- and property-rights-destroying "global plans" into our institutions. We need representation by those who will reject the unaccountable pressure groups that promote "sustainable development" ideas that result in higher taxes, increased debt, and a lower living standard. This means we must scrutinize our choices for U.S. President, Congressional and state legislators, governors, city/ county/state officials, and school boards members.
For those who are unfamiliar with U.N. Agenda 21 and "sustainable development", SECTION I contains some background information. But I encourage you to seek others who -- through their years of research and experience -- have much knowledge about the endless troubles that link to these U.N. issues (see Learn More, p. 15-16).
