To the editor:

I believe that the United States of America is a free nation, although it systematically has evolved into a partial Lenin-Marxist oligarchy.

Many communities and townships, including the city of St. Louis, have been hoodwinked into the folds of Agenda 21.

In order to receive federal funding such as Housing and Urban Development, Environmental Protection Agency and Department of Transportation grants, it is a fact that these counties, cities, communities and governments sign memorandums of the agreement, according to the dictates of the United Nations.

This system, formally called communitarianism, is used by Burma, China, North Korea and Venezuela. This is the central core of Agenda 21 and sustainable development. Former President Bill Clinton pushed this in 1993 and President Barack Obama pushed this in 2010.

Do you believe this personifies American principles and ideals? I think not.

Dent County has rejected all sustainable grants, as well as Alabama, Arkansas, Virginia, Colorado, Georgia, Oklahoma and Spokane, Wash. Why not us?

The three E’s of sustainable development are Economy, Environment and Equity, which is the format of Marxist central planning, as well as Nazi Germany.

The Common Core Standards in schools that are being pushed are part of this. It is time for all to stand up and be engaged.

Write your senators and congressmen.
