Obama's sovereignty giveaway plan

For some time, we have warned readers about Sen. Barack Obama's United Nations Global Poverty Act (S. 2433) which would place at risk the sovereignty of the citizen's of the United States. The bill has cleared the Senate Foreign Relations Committee by voice vote last week – without any hearings. Phyllis Schlafly ask this week:

Why are Republicans in Congress trying to help Barack Obama? Republicans allowed a bill that carries his name, among nine others, to pass the Senate Foreign Relations Committee by voice vote last week – without any hearings. That means there was no roll-call vote so no member can be held accountable. The same bill passed the House by voice vote last year.

The Obama bill passed out of committee with the cooperation of the co-sponsor, Sen. Richard Lugar, R-IN, A Rhodes scholar like former President Bill Clinton. Lugar has never seen a United Nations enhancement he didn't like. Obama's costly, dangerous and altogether bad bill (S. 2433), which could come up in the Senate any day, is called the Global Poverty Act. It would commit U.S. taxpayers to spend 0.7 percent of our Gross Domestic Product on foreign handouts, which is at least $30 billion over and above the exorbitant and wasted sums we already give away overseas.

In a prior post: Voting McCain, we identifed Obama sponsorship of the United Nations “Global Poverty Act" which commits nations to banning “small arms and light weapons” and ratifying a series of treaties, including the International Criminal Court Treaty, the Kyoto Protocol (global warming treaty), the Convention on Biological Diversity, the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women, and the Convention on the Rights of the Child. We also sent out a Legislative Alert: Oppose Law of the Sea Treaty & Global Poverty Act and warned readers that Obama's Global Tax Up For Senate Vote.

As detailed by Schlafly, "The scariest phrase in the bill is "Millennium Development Goal."

There is much more to the Millennium Goals than merely extorting more money from U.S. taxpayers. The goals set forth a comprehensive plan to put the United States under U.N. global governance.

These goals include a "standing peace force" (i.e., a U.N. standing army), a "U.N. Arms Register" of all small arms and light weapons, "peace education" covering "all levels from preschool through university," and "political control of the global economy." The goals call for implementing all U.N. treaties that the United States has never ratified, all of which set up U.N. monitoring committees to compromise U.S. sovereignty.

To achieve this level of control over U.S. domestic law, the plan calls for "strengthening the United Nations for the 21st century" by "eliminating" the veto and permanent membership in the Security Council. The goal is to reduce U.S. influence to one out of 192 nations, so we would have merely the same vote as Cuba.

The Global Poverty Act would be a giant step toward the Millennium Goals of global governance and international taxes on Americans.

Contact your senators and tell them to kill this un-American bill!
