Land Commissioner Jerry Patterson: The "Alamo Will Not Go Under UN Control"
Alamo not being turned over to United Nations Patterson attempted once again to let Texans know that if the Alamo and the other Spanish missions in San Antonio are added to the UNESCO World Heritage List, the Alamo will remain entirely under the control of the state of Texas and the Texas General Land Office.
Responding to a media report that the UN flag will fly over the Alamo, Patterson responded bluntly: "Horse hockey."
Patterson reiterated that a World Heritage Nomination will not change authority, jurisdiction or ownership of the Alamo or any of the other Spanish missions.
Just another aspect of AGENDA 21!
Can’t believe anyone would vote for Patterson if for no other reason than he is an outspoken advocate of a greatly increased guest worker program. At one time our family did support him but after him speak twice on the “virtues” of such a program he lost us.
Still haven’t been able to find Abbott’s true position on immigration in Texas. Not a good sign for him.
Ssshh, don’t confuse people with facts when they are repeating stuff from emails they got forwarded in 1997.

Could be in body bags from Texas.
he Senate unanimously provided advice and consent to ratification of the Convention in 1973,
If you believe that affiliating the Alamo with the World heritage is beneficial, you need to do one helluva lot of research and get your head on straight. there is nothing about the UN that is beneficial to anything that doesn’t support globalism. The UN does not finance anything that doesn’t finance the UN.
You Texans had better wise up before it’s too late!
Don't put words in my mouth and then pick a fight over them. I never said any such thing.
I don’t see you posting anything that I’d consider anti UN. Instead you did post the UN email address as if that’s going to do any good. And you did post three websites that are pro UN, so tell us just what it is that you think you are saying.
My first post on this thread was to indicate surprise that the NPS was hosting the email of the organization in question.
My second was merely to provide background to the controversy that Jerry Patterson has found himself in. The links are not to UN websites; they are to news organizations that were reporting on Patterson.
In neither case did I advocate for UN involvement in anything.
Heritage Sites aren't "signed over" to the UN.
I heard this on the radio and reporters are notorious for lack of proper information.
