United Nations' Power Will Grow Under President Obama
Our incoming president has many plans that will drastically affect our country but few are more insidious and far reaching than his legislation to address "global poverty." Obama said "Eliminating global poverty remains one of the greatest challenges we face, with billions of people around the world forced to live on just dollars a day. We can – and must – make it a priority of our foreign policy ..."
While in the senate our president-elect Barack Hussein Obama (it's ok to use his middle name now) joined with RINO U.S. Senator Chuck Hagel (R-NE) and Senator Maria Cantwell (D-WA) to introduce the Global Poverty Act (S.2433). The bill requires the President "to develop and implement a comprehensive policy to cut extreme global poverty in half by 2015 through aid, trade, debt relief" and coordination with the international community, businesses and NGOs. Representatives Adam Smith (D-WA) and RINO Spencer Bachus (R-AL) sponsored the House version of the bill (H.R. 1302), which passed the House in September.
The Senate Subcommittee on Foreign Relations (where Sen. Joe Biden sits) approved this plan by a voice vote without any discussion! Why all the secrecy? If Senators Obama and Biden are so proud of this legislation, then why don't they bring it out into the light of day and let the American people have a look at it instead of hiding it behind closed doors and sneaking it through Congress for late night votes.
According to Cliff Kinkaid of AIM, the plan passed the House "because most members didn't realize what was in it. Congressional sponsors have been careful not to calculate the amount of foreign aid spending that it would require."
Kincaid also reported Jeffrey Sachs, who runs the "Millennium Project," confirms a U.N. plan to force the U.S. to pay 0.7 percent of GNP (currently about $65 billion a year) in addition to what the U.S. already donates overseas. The only way to raise that funding, Sachs confirms, "Is through a global tax, preferably on carbon-emitting fossil fuels."
On the forum run by Americans for Legal Immigration PAC, one writer reported estimates of taxes from 35 cents to $1 dollar a gallon on gasoline would be needed. "This is disgusting, sickening and angers me to the depths of my soul," he wrote. "Obama wants us to support the world. I wonder how they intend to eliminate poverty. Most of the money always winds up in some dictator hands and in the U.N. coffers."
The following summary is provided by the Congressional Research Service, which is a nonpartisan government entity that serves Congress and is run by the Library of Congress. The summary is taken from the official website THOMAS. 4/24/2008--Reported to Senate amended.
"Global Poverty Act of 2007 - Directs the President, through the Secretary of State, to develop and implement a comprehensive strategy to further the U.S. foreign policy objective of promoting the reduction of global poverty, the elimination of extreme global poverty, and the achievement of the United Nations Millennium Development Goal of reducing by one-half the proportion of people, between 1990 and 2015 ..." (emphasis added)
More specifically, the Act would require the United States strategy to contain specific and measurable goals and to consist of specified components, including:
"(1) continued investment or involvement in existing U.S. initiatives related to international poverty reduction and trade preference programs for developing countries; (2) improving the effectiveness of development assistance and making available additional overall United States assistance levels as appropriate; (3) enhancing and expanding debt relief as appropriate; (4) mobilizing and leveraging the participation of businesses and public-private partnerships; (5) coordinating the goal of poverty reduction with other internationally recognized Millennium Development Goals; (6) integrating principles of sustainable development and entrepreneurship into policies and programs."
Though the constitutional encroachment is not explicit in the proposed law, it is really a sneaky way for the United States to sign onto the United Nations Millennium Declaration and its goals which will have a drastic affect on our independence and freedom. The National Ledger defines the term "Millennium Development Goals" are the goals set out in the United Nations Millennium Declaration, General Assembly Resolution 55/2 (2000).

Not just no, but HELL NO!
Um hum, how they gonna do THAT with out forcing US industries to go overseas, either to run their businesses in those countries because its cheaper, or to make US goods even MORE expensive for Americans to buy so that they are then encouraged to buy foreign over us made??
Get this, Democrats are the party of the poor. They need the poor for their power base. Therefore, it behooves the Democrats to maintain their powerbase... AND KEEP THOSE PEOPLE POOR AND DEPENDENT.
Poor people who voted for democrats voted to keep themselves poor, and they don’t get why things never seem to get any better for them. Golly, wonder why..... I am continually amazed at how STUPID most humans are.
its call World Goverment
Ah, secrecy. It defines the Democratic pary.
Kincaid also reported Jeffrey Sachs, who runs the “Millennium Project,” confirms a U.N. plan to force the U.S. to pay 0.7 percent of GNP (currently about $65 billion a year) in addition to what the U.S. already donates overseas. The only way to raise that funding, Sachs confirms, “Is through a global tax, preferably on carbon-emitting fossil fuels.”
How about the US deal with poverty right here at home before worrying about poverty elsewhere?
To do that, first, one must break Free Enterprise and the evils of Capitalism. Looks like he has a very good start already in place, thanks to Barney Frank, Dodd, Pelosi and “Red” Reid.
Some essential history if you are to fully grasp the rot – and the plot — at the core of this thoroughly corrupt gaggle of over-educated morons:

What these dumb sh**s don’t realize is this narcissistic, idiot has BIG PLANS. He’s not going to be a European Centrist. He’s a flat out African MARXIST. He wants to “spread the wealth” of the U.S. around the world.
....................the plan passed the House “because most members didn’t realize what was in it. ...................
I find this quote the most despicable of all, in this UN moneygrab for power!
What do we pay the hundreds of millions to support the House, Senate, and all the thousands of busy little staffers flittering around fawning at their powerful bosses, if they don’t even have a clue about what they’re voting for.
Mugabe’s mansion will get some new additions, while his subjects will continue to eat dirt!
Sustainable subsistence poverty for all, except for the benighted who know what’s good for us. The communists always have a plan for the evil bourgeoisie - those middle income earners who dare embrace capitalism to improve their lowly lot. The leading class communists have always striven to reduce the middle class to worker bees and drones, skimming the honey of the poor saps’ efforts and delivering it to the grateful non-workers who will gleefully vote for the “generous” rulers.
I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if some day in the not too distant future our employers are ordered to send employee's paychecks directly to D.C. at which time we will have automatically deposited into our bank accounts the amount that the politically in charge WANT us to live on and oh yes we will STILL have to pay taxes on that amount!
I'm not kidding you. He wants the U.S. to spread its wealth to OTHER COUNTRIES - like Africa ... .
Happy New Year!
And what are they going to do about the dictators and Muslim extremists who keep their people poor? Use trickle down poverty aid, the ones in power get so fat that their minions get some scrapes?
[Mr] T
Of course YOU will be funding this grand GLOBAL wealth redistribution to “level the playing field” and end poverty worldwide. I am NOT kidding you.
You know, at first glance what you said sounds like something right out of Big Brother..... Oh wait... This time it’s real and is exactly what seems to be happening. Boggles the mind.
Oh my there are dark days ahead.
It won’t be “global poverty” until Ø and all his buddies get their way.
