What is wrong that you haven’t driven these people right off the property? Do NOT let the famed ALAMO fall to the United Nations!
Note, the UN has stated that a “World Heritage sites belong to all the peoples of the world, irrespective of the territory on which they are located.”
Remember the Alamo… remember when it was an American icon? That may soon change and the United Nations may be the new manager if San Antonio Mayor Julian Castro gets his way.
San Antonio Mayor Julián Castro is currently negotiating with the United Nations to designate the Alamo as a UN Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) World Heritage Site, meaning that a blue UN flag may fly above the historic shrine of liberty once it falls under UN control. UNESCO, a specialized agency within the UN, created the World Heritage Site status out of a 1972 international agreement, which calls for nations to join together to manage historical sites through “collective assistance.”
“San Antonio has the opportunity for its five Spanish Colonial Missions [including the Alamo] to be nominated to be the first UNESCO World Heritage site in the State of Texas and the 22nd World Heritage designation in the United States,” the October 2013 City of San Antonio newsletter reads.
We don’t need “collective assistance” to manage our historical sites. And we certainly don’t need the United Nations in control of the Alamo. Please share this so as many Texans as possible know. Then contact Governor Rick Perry’s office along with Texas Land Commissioner Jerry Patterson’s office and demand that the UN be kept out of the ALAMO.
