Here are property owners airing their horror stories against the GMA in Washington, starting at 33
minutes. You won’t believe the story of 14 years of hassles attempting to subdivide a property at
minute 40. This video provides case studies of how dramatically AGENDA 21 forces the loss of private
land liberty.

“The state of Florida [recently] repealed GMA and also went on to repeal over 1,000 of the GMA
regulations.” The governor “cited GMA as being responsible for the stifling of economic growth in his
state. He planned to create over 700,000 new jobs by getting rid of the GMA.” Page 65, Ibid.

President Clinton took an even bolder step than his predecessor by issuing Executive Order # 12852 in
1993 to institute the President’s Council on Sustainable Development (PCSD), consisting of 12 cabinet
secretaries and top executives from six major environmental organizations, some of which actually
helped draft the U.N. AGENDA 21 document.. The PCSD “was responsible for instilling sustainable
development consciousness throughout every agency of federal government.”

This landmark Executive Order directed all agencies of the Federal Government to work with state
and local community governments in a joint effort to “reinvent” government using the guidelines
outlined in AGENDA 21. Did you catch that? REINVENTING GOVERNMENT!

“One of the first tasks of the PCSD was to give a multi-million
dollar grant to the American Planning Association to design a
legislative guidebook to be used as a blueprint for every city,
county and state in the United States in order to
implement U.N. AGENDA 21. This document, called
Growing Smart Legislative Guidebook: Model Statutes for
Planning and the Management of Change, took seven years to
complete and a full nine years to arrive at the final version….the
blueprint contains sample legislation, ordinances, rules,
regulations and statues to be incorporated into the General
Plans of every single city and county in the United States. By
2002 every planning department and every local, state,
and federal department that governs land use had a
copy and was implementing the practices. Every
university, every college, every junior college, private school and
teaching institution in our nation was using “Growing Smart” in
its curriculum.” (Pg. 14, “Behind the Green Mask”, Rosa Koire)

“The common theme in all the model legislation and the model executive orders is government control
of land use, with no regard for private property rights. Consider, for example, this language in one of
the model laws, that violates the 4 Amendment forbidding ‘unreasonable searches’: ‘Government
th
may enter upon the land and act to put it in compliance.’ The model legislation even authorizes the
government to condemn the property and take it, even though the Constitution requires that the use
of eminent domain be invoked only to take property for a public use, and then only with just
compensation paid.”

In 1997 “Counties and Mayors” (since disbanded) create the Joint Center for Sustainable
Communities. In 2001 the National Governors Association endorsed Smart Growth. The National
Mayors Conference and the National Governors Association often work directly with the U.N. Mayors,
city council members, county commissioners, governors, state reps, federal reps are all members of
national organizations which each heavily promote Sustainable Development. “Back home, they are
surrounded by a horde of “stakeholder” groups, each promoting a piece of the agenda, be it policies for
water control, energy control, development control, specific building mateials control, historic
