On August 13, local CBS affiliate 8 News Now (http://www.8newsnow.com/Global/story.asp?S=12972359) asked Nevada Republican U.S. Senate candidate Sharron Angle if she still supported an earlier-stated position to withdraw from the United Nations. Angle, who hopes to defeat Democratic Senator Harry Reid in November, replied: “The United Nations resides on our soil and costs us money. We are — I don't see any place in the Constitution with those priorities about the United Nations. So when we start talking about cutting programs, 5-percent per year, I think the United Nations fits into that category, yes.”

Zac Petankas, the deputy communications director for the Reid campaign, quickly responded to Angle’s call for withdrawal: “Sharron Angle’s extreme and dangerous agenda includes foreign policy ideas that even top Republicans say are crazy. Republican Senator Richard Lugar rejected Angle’s ideas as ‘very extreme views.’”

Although Senators Reid and Lugar may refer to Angle’s UN position as “extreme,” how extreme is that position when lined up with that of other well-known political icons? If Angle is elected the junior U.S. Senator from Nevada, she won’t be the first Senator to take such a position. In 1945 when the U.S. Senate voted for the United Nations Participation Act, Senator William Langer (N.D.) stated his opposition to the bill, as follows:



[Because the UN would be given authority] to send our boys all over the earth, I cannot support the Charter. I believe it is fraught with danger to the American people, and to American institutions.


Langer was one of two Senators to vote against the United Nations Participation Act. Several decades later, Senator Barry Goldwater (R-Ariz.) carried on the torch, also advocating for U.S. withdrawal. In a statement delivered on the floor of the U.S. Senate, Goldwater said:



The time has come to recognize the United Nations for the anti-American, anti-freedom organization that it has become. The time has come for us to cut off all financial help, withdraw as a member, and ask the United Nations to find headquarters location outside the United States that is more in keeping with the philosophy of the majority of voting members, someplace like Moscow or Peking.


Goldwater made those remarks after the Republic of China (Taiwan) was removed from the UN Security Council and membership as a whole and replaced by Communist China. Upset at this betrayal of freedom, Senator Goldwater called the United Nations an “anti-American, anti-freedom organization.” The anti-UN sentiments continue to hold a place in Washington, as every congressional term Congressman Ron Paul (R-Texas) reintroduced the American Sovereignty Restoration Act (H.R. 1146) to withdraw the United States from the United Natons. Throughout the 2007 and 2008 Republican primary campaign, Rep. Paul was quite vocal of his disapproval of the UN, calling for immediate U.S. withdrawal.

In his recent CPAC speech (http://www.ronpaul.com/2010-02-20/ron-pauls-speech-at-cpac-stop-the-wars-end-the-fed-regain-our-liberties/), delivered on February 19, 2010, Paul received his loudest applause after he stated, “It’s the conservative position to not even belong to the United Nations.”

Congressman Ron Paul first introduced a bill to withdraw from the United Nations on September 19, 1983, 18 days after Congressman Larry McDonald, a vocal critic of the UN, was lost at sea aboard KAL Flight 007, the Korean passenger airliner shot down by the Soviet Union. Paul introduced the bill, then known as the United Nations Termination Act (H.R. 3891), in honor of his friend Rep. McDonald, who had previously introduced the same legislation, which Paul had co-sponsored.

In his book We Hold These Truths (1976), McDonald wrote, “Our participation in multi-nation pacts, such as the NATO agreement and the UN Charter, should be formally terminated.”

Now, Sharron Angle wants to take up the torch carried by Ron Paul and Larry McDonald into the U.S. Senate, but she isn´t the only U.S. Senate candidate with this position. In Kentucky, U.S. Senate candidate Rand Paul has taken the following position on the United Nations: “Moreover, I believe that the United States should withdraw from and stop funding altogether those U.N. programs that undermine legitimate American interests and harm the cause of freedom around the world,” according to his campaign website (http://www.randpaul2010.com/issues/q-z/united-nations/).

The Tea Party-backed U.S. Senate candidates Rand Paul and Sharron Angle have not backed away from their calls to restoring America’s sovereignty and independence, as advocated by George Washington and other Founding Fathers who warned against entangling alliances.

Support H.R. 1146, to get the United States out of the United Nations (http://www.jbs.org/jbs-news-feed/4794-support-hr-1146-to-get-the-united-states-out-of-the-united-nations)


Warren Mass
23 April 2009


On February 24, Rep. Ron Paul (R.-Texas) introduced H.R. 1146, the American Sovereignty Restoration Act of 2009 in the House and the legislation was referred to the House Committee on Foreign Affairs. The bill was cosponsored by Rep. John J. Duncan, Jr. (R.-Tenn.) on March 19.

The stated objective of H.R. 1146 is to end membership of the United States in the United Nations. It would accomplish this end by initiating the following actions:


* Repeal the United Nations Participation Act of 1945;
* Require the president to terminate all participation by the United States in the United Nations, and any organ, specialized agency, commission, or other formally affiliated body of the United Nations;
* Close the United States Mission to United Nations;
* Terminate the appropriation of funds for assessed or voluntary contributions of the United States to the United Nations or any of its affiliated agencies;
* Prohibit funding of contributions to any United Nations military operation;
* Prohibit any member of the Armed Forces of the United States from serving under the command of the United Nations;
* Prohibit employees of the United Nations from using U.S. government property;
* Suspend diplomatic immunity for officers and employees of the United Nations;
* Repeal acts authorizing U.S. participation in UN agencies such as the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization; the United Nations Environment Program; and the World Health Organization; and would end all participation in any and all conventions and agreements with the United Nations.

In “America’s Role in the United Nations (http://www.house.gov/paul/congrec/congrec2000/cr091800.htm),” a statement made before the House on September 18, 2000, Rep. Paul explained his reasons for introducing this legislation, which he has done in every Congress since 1997. A key part of his argument follows:


To date, Congress has attempted to curb the abuse of power of the United Nations by urging the United Nations to reform itself, threatening the nonpayment of assessments and dues allegedly owed by the United States and thereby cutting off the United Nations' major source of funds. America's problems with the United Nations will not, however, be solved by such reform measures. The threat posed by the United Nations to the sovereignty of the United States and independence is not that the United Nations is currently plagued by a bloated and irresponsible international bureaucracy. Rather, the threat arises from the United Nation's Charter which — from the beginning — was a threat to sovereignty protections in the U.S. Constitution. The American people have not, however, approved of the Charter of the United Nations which, by its nature, cannot be the supreme law of the land for it was never 'made under the Authority of the U.S.,' as required by Article VI. (Emphasis added.)

Those unfamiliar with some of the problematic aspects of U.S. participation in the UN might consider the UN’s role on the side of tyranny in several historic contests. These include, but are not limited to:


* In 1961, when Moise Tshombe, the respected leader of the peaceful province of Katanga, tried to secede from the central government of the Congo controlled by the brutal thug, Patrice Lumumba, the United Nations sent in troops not to quell Lumumba's brutality but to suppress Tshombe's secession.
* In 1971, the UN General Assembly voted to oust Nationalist China (Taiwan) and welcome in its place the bloodiest regime the world has ever known, the dictatorship led by Mao Zedong, who had murdered in excess of 60 million of its own subjects since gaining power with U.S. help in 1949.
* UN forces in Rwanda actually abetted the Rwandan genocide of 1994. Peter Hammond of Frontline Fellowship in Holocaust in Rwanda, testified that Belgian UN troops stationed in a heavily fortified compound in Kigali “deceived the [Tutsi] refugees by assembling them for a meal in the dining hall and then [they] evacuated the base while the refugees were eating. Literally two minutes after the Belgians had driven out of their base, the Presidential Guard poured into the buildings annihilating the defenseless Tutsi refugees.”

Far from being mankind’s “last hope for peace,” the UN has consistently provided a forum for tyrants and tin pot dictators to spew their vitriol; has favored tyrannical regimes over free societies in many international conflicts; and has threatened the sovereignty of the world’s free nations, by entangling them in numerous compacts and conventions that are the building blocks of a world government.

The late Senator Robert Taft of Ohio, who had initially approved of the establishment of the UN, later publicly lamented his action, claiming, “The UN is a trap; let’s go it alone!”

Follow this link (http://www.votervoice.net/Core.aspx?AID=972&APP=GAC&SiteID=0&IssueID=17531) to an alert that allows you to contact your representative and senators now, urging them to support this important defense of U.S. sovereignty.

Yeah, that's why the UN has been so successful at ending the Israel-Palestinian conflict, just like they solved the Korean conflict, the Congo conflict, the Nigerian conflict, the Vietnam conflict, the Cambodian conflict, the Rwandan conflict, the Yugoslavian conflict, the Iraqi conflict, etc. :rolleyes:

Angle may be a bit of an idiot and frequently suffers from foot in mouth syndrome, but she is a lot less dangerous than Harry Reid, or now his son who is running for Guv'ner.

Of course, as usual, the political slam campaigns that they both run pretty much always take whatever the other one said out of context. Duh.

I support Angle because of one simple fact. She is NOT Harry Reid.

If no one says it, then the MSM has nothing to talk about, and we stay in the U.N. while the sheeple keep thinking that a one-world government would solve all of our problems.

So, A) she says nothing, we stay in the U.N.

B) She speaks up, we stay in the U.N., or maybe just maybe we get out.

It would be different if we weren't in the U.N., and she the 'nutjob' brings it up, and then the MSM starts pushing us to join.

Fortunately, we have nothing to lose.
