Republican Mike Lee of Utah on Wednesday became the 34th senator to oppose an international treaty that would regulate the $60 billion global small arms trade, giving the opposition enough votes in the U.S. Senate to block its ratification. …
“I have great concerns that this treaty can be used to violate the Second Amendment rights of American citizens, and do not believe we should sign any treaty that infringes on the sovereignty of our country,” Lee said. “I am pleased to join 34 of my colleagues in signaling to this administration that the UN-ATT is a non-starter in the Senate.” …

My point is that this goes way beyond unconstitutional Socialist policy.
This is ceding of sovereignty.
And do these stupid democrat voters that support these democrat Senator traitors even realize this?
yes . I ‘m just reminding people that ALL democrat senators and Congressmen voted to pass Obamacare. democrat party = the main threat. also the news media but that is the democrat party too.
Yer welcome, JJ! *waving*
Thanks for that list!
Anyone who voted “Nay” is a traitor, wanting to place our Constitution in a subservient position to the UN. The UN, where bloc voting is used to condemn Israel and the United States, while ignoring human rights abuses around the world. Sure, we want to be subject to the corrupt politics of that organization.
This should not even be an issue to begin. All Senators should be stating emphatically NO! The next step is cut off all US funding to the UN. All diplomats whom have any type of legal problem in the US, (diplomatic immunity my fanny) be arrested. Than the entire UN body be ousted out of the US. The UN building razed to the ground immediately. The UN is a joke.
It gives me a shred of hope on the anti-gun bill(s) coming to the floor at some point soon.
Same here. We can’t give an inch.
I called my Sheriff’s office today and told them that I’d
be available to be deputised on a minutes notice if the
Sheriff needed me to stand up to the Feds. The lady thanked
me and said she’d pass the message along.
Bless you Senator Lee.
Kirk (R-IL) is a RINO, yet he voted with the good guys on this one. Durbin (D-IL) voted with the bad guys.
It certainly puts to bed the notion that a RINO = a Dem. I’d rather have two Kirks from Illinois, than 2 Durbins.
Democrat = Treason
Absolutely.
Good news....
Next...lets dump the whole UN...
I believe the Treaty has to come to a Vote before they reject it,if Harry Reed does not bring it to a Vote it is in effect until he does
Is this for real? I need to send him a THANK YOU note
Good. Where’s the sequestration cuts on this money-pit? Why are WE propping up the U.N. with out tax dollars?

The UN only passed it on Tuesday. I don’t believe the pResident has signed off on the treaty, which is required before ratification by the Senate. This vote was on a resolution signaling the Senate’s opposition to the treaty so we are safe, for now.
As an aside, McCaskill voted against it. Thanks, Todd, you tool.
Nelson (D-FL), Nay
Shocking, but his form email to me said he supports the 2nd??? He couldn’t be lying could he?

“democrat party = the enemy”
Democrat Party = Evil Enemy of the State
UN = Enemy of the World
It is long past time to defund the UN and to get them the hell off US soil. A well timed Cruise would do the job.
My solution:
ROPE, TREE, NECK—some assembly required. (Chair or stool is optional.)
