Anti-Agenda 21 Bill Dies in Mississippi House Committee Chaired by Rep. Jessica Upshaw
The
Anti-Agenda 21 Bill submitted by Representative Becky Currie was sent
to the Conservation and Water Resources Committee chaired by Rep.
Jessica Upshaw on February 20 and it ultimately died in that committee
on March 6 with no action. After not getting a response to my request
for an update on the status, I found the information online at http://billstatus.ls.state.ms.us/2012/pdf/history/HB/HB0801.xml.
Rep.
Upshaw told Issues Chairman, Laura VanOverschelde that she absolutely
would not allow any action on it. When asked what the reason was, she
told Laura that she did not feel it was the right time.
Thanks
to Rep. Upshaw, our state will continue to sink into the quicksand of
destruction known as Agenda 21 for at least another year.
- Untold damage will be done to our state as local and state authority are migrated into regional governance.
- Extreme environmentalists will continue to dictate policy in our state as we come another step closer to total rule by the United Nations.
- Grants will continue to pour into our state, further bankrupting our nation to fund Agenda 21 initiatives and our freedoms will continue to erode
All
because Rep. Upshaw made an arbitrary decision to withhold legislation
that would have stopped the implementation of policies so dangerous
that the Republican National Committee passed a resolution to expose
them, oppose them and refuse any monies associated with them on January
13.
By
blocking this bill, the buck stops with Rep. Upshaw. Had it been
allowed on the floor for a vote, it would have been on the shoulders of
our Representatives...the ones we worked so hard to finally have a
majority in this year so that we could actually get some things done!
With this type of malfeasance, however, our efforts are once again
thwarted.
Rep.
Upshaw is a Republican from District 95 which covers Hancock and
Harrison Counties. Please contact her and let her know how you feel
about her decision to rob our Representatives of the opportunity to
vote on this important bill. She can be reached at
jupshaw@house.ms.gov or by phone at 228.867.6005.
