It is not humane to burden the American taxpayer with billions in additional foreign aid. It is more than unacceptable. And moreover, if history is to be our guide, these monies often wind up lining the pockets of third-world tyrants and bureaucrats who hate America and do very little to help those who are truly in need -- remember the Oil for Food scandal!
The American people will be watching and will not tolerate massive United Nations-inspired giveaways that are passed in the dark of night -- or in broad daylight for that matter.
Expose S. 2433 for what it is; a stealth bill and a dagger aimed at the heart of America’s sovereignty. http://www.exposeobama.com/globalpovertyhe.html

This amounts to a tax of over $2,000 on each man, woman and child in the United States. The foreign aid budget now stands at $300 billion; the Global Poverty Bill would add the additional expenditure to the already huge amount allocated to assist the world
Cliff Kincaid of Accuracy in Media recently issued the following report:
"While Senator Barack Obama struggles to keep the public in the dark about the nature of his pro-U.N. Global Poverty Act, a recent 'Bay Area Interfaith Leaders' Luncheon' was held to lobby for Senate passage of the bill, whose cost has been estimated at $845 billion..."
This is NOT a petition! This is NOT a simple and ineffective e-mail to your congressman. When you use the "Join the Fight" button below, we will send 50 Faxes in your name to President Bush and the Republican Members of the Senate. And with your help we can literally flood the fax machines of these federal legislators with a message from concerned Americans that can not be ignored!
Demand that President Bush and the Republican Members of the Senate use any means at their disposal -- including a filibuster if necessary -- to derail Barack Obama's Global Poverty Act! Help us expose Barack Hussein Obama to the American people and at the same time help us expose and stop his dangerous agenda. Use the "Join the Fight" button below!

I’m all for helping others when needed. But for too long the US has picked up the majority of the tab. I’m sure other nations are only giving a small fraction of 845 billion to the united nations
Contact President Bush

Bush would never oppose this, he does it himself.
Thank you for posting this!
I called the phone number. They’re closed.
[... The American people will not tolerate massive United Nations-inspired giveaways that are passed in the dark of night...]
Yes we will, because we no longer have the power to
stop anything. The train has already left the station.
We’ve allowed our values to boil away like the frog in
the pot.
It’s too late. This nonsense should have been nipped
in the bud when they tried to take prayer out of schools.
A little here. A little there. Who’s going to notice?
When the water reaches my bottom lip, I’m going to ...
glub ... no ... glub ...tice ... Ack!
Again, this organization requires a donation to send those 50 faxes, so this is soliciting, which is verboten on FreeRepublic.
Why does he only want to fax Republicans? Or, did I miss something? It’s the RATS that need to be blasted!! Forget Bush. He is a total sell out to globalism and the UN.
U. S. House of Representatives
And jam their telephone lines too. (Numbers are in the links.)
Exactly. So we must call or email our Senators.
Unfortunately for me I am in CT. But the rest of you can try to convince your Senators.
I’m in Wisconsin. I still contacted my dumicrat sentators. Also, you can contact out of state senators. I will just to let them know how I feel. American are overtaxed, economically distressed and tired of picking up the lions share.
Contacting Senators that are not yours must only be done by phone. Emails request address and zip codes.

What reason do we have to believe that Bush would even sign such a stupid bill?
Btt
I hope they keep sharp objects away from you.
I didn’t know that. New here.
I’m just desperate to do something to stop this monster.
A little perspective on what a “billion” means:
How many zeros in a billion?
This is too true to be funny.
The next time you hear a politician use the
word ‘billion’ in a casual manner, think about
whether you wan t the ‘politicians’ spending
YOUR tax money.
A billion is a difficult number to comprehend,
but one advertising agency did a good job of
putting that figure into some perspective in
one of it’s releases.
A billion seconds ago it was 1959.
A billion minutes ago Jesus was alive.
A billion hours ago our ancestors were
living in the Stone Age.
A billion days ago no-one walked on the earth on two feet.
A billion dollars ago was only 8 hours and 20 minutes,
at the rate our government is spending it.
While this thought is still fresh in our brain...
let’s take a look at New Orleans ..
It’s amazing what you can learn with some simple division.
Louisiana Senator,
Mary Landrieu (D)
was asking Congress for
250 BILLION DOLLARS
to rebuild New Orleans . Interesting number...
what does it mean?
Well... if you are one of the 484,674 residents of New Orleans
(every man, woman, and child)
you each get $516,528.
Or... if you have one of the 188,251 homes in
New Orleans, your home gets $1,329,787.
Or... if you are a family of four...
your family gets $2,066,012.

Are all your calculators broken??
