Obama to Us: UN To Disarm Americans

[WarDog]

Obama to us UN to disarm Americans
This is just in from Sen. Coburn's office. Obama has authored a bill, and it is now in the Senate, to give the UN .7% of our GNP to be used to feed hungry 3rd worlders, AND to use UN force to disarm you and me and all gun owners. No one in the media has brought this to the attention of the general sheeple out here.

If you don’t want the Senate to approve Sen. Obama's S. 2433 to set in motion legislation to require the United States to spend hundreds of billions of dollars of new United Nations-inspired foreign aid spending by 2015, then please read on and send the editable email message below to your senators. Please act now! This bill could come up for a vote in the full Senate at any time after July 7th. The House has already passed its version of this bill (H.R. 1302) by a voice vote on September 25, 2007.

In September 2000 the UN General Assembly adopted the “United Nations Millennium Declaration ,” a very comprehensive, nine-page document that ends:

We solemnly reaffirm, on this historic occasion, that the United Nations is the indispensable common house of the entire human family, through which we will seek to realize our universal aspirations for peace, cooperation and development. We therefore pledge our unstinting support for these common objectives and our determination to achieve them.


The Declaration’s section on Development and Poverty Eradication sets the goal “To halve, by the year 2015, the proportion of the world’s people whose income is less than one dollar a day….”

Then, in 2002 the UN’s International Conference on Financing for Development in Monterrey, Mexico, established a goal for foreign aid to impoverished nations – 0.7 percent of the gross national product (GNP) of developed nations.

Next we have Senator Obama’s S. 2433 Global Poverty Act of 2007 which he introduced in the Senate on December 7, 2007. His bill is nearly identical to a House bill (H.R. 1302) that was passed in the House by a voice vote on September 25, 2007. The purpose of S. 2433 is:

To require the President to develop and implement a comprehensive strategy to further the United States foreign policy objective of promoting the reduction of global poverty, the elimination of extreme global poverty, and the achievement of the Millennium Development Goal of reducing by one-half the proportion of people worldwide, between 1990 and 2015, who live on less than $1 per day.


Thus, S. 2433 does not authorize or appropriate any money to fight global poverty, but only requires the President to develop a strategy to achieve UN Millennium Development goals, such as halving the proportion of people in the world who live on less than $1 per day by 2015. However, based on the 2002 UN goal of foreign aid spending of 0.7 percent of GNP by developed nations, it has been estimated by some conservative commentators that achieving the Millennium Declaration’s development goal of poverty reduction could cost the U.S. over $800 billion by 2015.

Although the Millennium Declaration also contains a whole host of other UN pet projects, such as greater UN regulation of light weapons and imposing the Kyoto Protocol to reduce global warming on the U.S., these projects are not addressed by S. 2433.

One interesting aspect of this S. 2433 bill is that when the Senate Foreign Relations Committee slightly amended the bill before reporting it out of committee with a favorable recommendation on April 24, they carefully went through the bill and wherever the words "United Nations Millennium Development Goals" appear, they deleted the words "United Nations." However, at the very end of the bill the committee was forced to admit the UN connection with the Millenium Development Goals when they explained:

The term "Millennium Development Goals" means the goals set out in the United Nations Millennium Declaration, General Assembly Resolution 55/2 (2000) .


The bottom line is that Americans should contact their senators in strong opposition to S. 2433, because Senator Obama’s Global Poverty Reduction Act would serve to grease the skids for further legislation to force the U.S. to empower the United Nations by fulfilling its extremely costly Millennium Declaration goals.

High-level Pressure Building Up for Passage of Obama's UN-inspired Global Poverty Act

As I warned a few months ago in my "Are You Ready for Hundreds of Billions of Dollars of New, UN-inspired Foreign Aid Spending?" article, Senator Obama's Global Poverty Act of 2007 (S. 2433) would prepare the way for hundreds of billions of dollars of new foreign aid spending in support of the UN's Millennium Development Goals over the next seven years or so. Now that the Senate is reconvening for another few weeks before the November elections, it is highly likely that S. 2433 will be brought to a vote on the Senate floor this month. The House version of this bill has already been passed by voice vote late in 2007.

There'll be a lot of motivation for the Democrats to get S. 2433 passed before the presidential election because it would help minimize the criticism that Obama has little legislation to his credit. In fact the official platform of the Democratic Party National Convention indirectly endorses Obama's bill when it states on page 40, "It is time to make the U.N. Millennium Development Goals, which aim to cut extreme poverty in half by 2015, America's goals as well."

But there'll be an even greater impetus for passage of Obama's S. 2433 in September. The UN has scheduled a meeting they refer to as a "High-level Event on the Millennium Development Goals" at UN Headquarters in New York on September 25, 2008. The UN meeting has been specifically scheduled to help get those nations who haven't lived up to their global anti-poverty promises made at UN conferences, such as the United States, to get with the program and start forking over hundreds of billions of dollars in foreign aid to underdeveloped nations. Here's how the UN describes their "High-level Event":

The UN Secretary-General and the President of the UN General Assembly will convene a High-level Event on the Millennium Development Goals at UN Headquarters in New York on 25 September 2008. At the halfway point towards the target date, significant progress has been made, but urgent and increased efforts are needed by all stakeholders in order to meet the Goals by 2015. The High-level Event will be a forum for world leaders to review progress, identify gaps, and commit to concrete efforts, resources and mechanisms to bridge the gaps. By asking world leaders to announce their specific plans and proposals, the High-level Event will help accelerate implementation and follow-through.

Passage of S. 2433 before this special UN conference convenes would be a high-profile way for the internationalists in both of our major political parties to assure the UN that the U.S. is still committed to the UN's Millennium Devlopment Goals.

Remember there is no authorization in the Constitution for foreign aid. And, as the movie "I.O.U.S.A." makes so clear, the U.S. is already in the hole for $55 trillion of national debt and unfunded liabilities. Why add another $1 trillion for this UN program when we can't even afford the social security and medicare programs for our own citizens.

Based on the above discussion, a Senate vote on S. 2433 before Sept. 25 is highly likely. If you oppose committing our nation to spending hundreds of billions of dollars in support of UN global anti-poverty goals, you need to let your Senators know immediately, preferably by both email and phone!
