The Honorable George W. Bush, President
The White House
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue
Washington, DC 20500

Dear President Bush:

Shortly after Bill Clinton assumed the presidency, he created, by executive order, the President's Council on Sustainable Development (PCSD). The purpose of the Council was to recommend policy modifications to bring the United States into conformity with the policy recommendations set forth in Agenda 21, the sweeping document adopted at the 1992 U.N. Conference on Environment and Development.

We believe the policies recommended in Agenda 21 fail to adequately respect the fundamental principles of freedom set forth in the U.S. Constitution. Consequently, many policies implemented pursuant to Agenda 21, infringe upon those freedoms to which every American is entitled.

Therefore, we urge you to consider creating, by executive order, a President's Council on Sustainable Freedom (PCSF). The purpose would be to examine and evaluate existing policies against the standards and principles of the U.S. Constitution, and the Declaration of Independence, and to recommend any changes necessary to more accurately reflect the application and use of these standards and principles in public policy.

We certainly support sustaining our healthy environment, and a robust economy; we believe that neither can be sustained without first, assuring that our individual freedoms are respected, and practiced, and not inadvertently compromised through excessive regulatory policies.

We hope you will give this request serious consideration. We stand ready to assist in any way possible to assure that all citizens of the United States are able to realize the life, liberty and pursuit of happiness in their daily lives, as envisioned by our Founding Fathers.

Thank you,

We, the participants in the Freedom 21 Campaign, and other Americans who share our respect for freedom.
