America celebrates Constitution Day on Monday, September 17, as we find members of the Bush Administration and liberals in the Senate working feverishly to get the U.S. involved in another international treaty, the U.N. Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS). This pact, which would further erode the sovereignty and independence of our nation, authorizes foreign bodies and judges to decide our fate on the oceans, determining who gets access to vast deposits of oil and gas and precious minerals. A Senate vote on this pact is coming up soon, perhaps by the end of this month.

One of the most significant and remarkable assertions by the former Legal Advisers is that UNCLOS has nothing to do with the U.N. Indeed, they refer to it as LOS, rather than UNCLOS, its official acronym.

Look how the un is trying to separate themselves from it.

They know many are getting wise to their ways.

Time is running out - amen.

The desire to keep people from finding out about the U.N. connection to UNCLOS is understandable since the world body has a notorious reputation for corruption and incompetence.

They're not fooling us. We know it's their baby.

I think Law of the Sea Treaty or LOST is the real acronym. Isn't there some way to stop this thing and get Bush out of his job before such damage is done? If I understand properly what I have been reading, Bush is one of the primary fans of this treaty.

Isn't there some way to stop this thing and get Bush out of his job before such damage is done?

I believe it goes before the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations on the 27 th of this month.

As far as Bush is concerned, he's pushing it for all it's worth.

He'll do as much in stopping this as he's done to build the fence and stop illegal aliens invading our country.
