This bill would commit the United States to spending 0.7% of its gross national product on foreign aid, in addition to that $16.3 billion. 0.7% comes out to $845 billion dollars over 13 years. Obama wants another $65 billion a year or, around $2000 per American citizen in new taxes a year, for fighting poverty in third world countries.
Another troubling detail in the bill is our requirement to coordinate "the goal of poverty reduction with other internationally recognized Millennium Development Goals." The "Millennium Development Goals" are a United Nations creation, and according to Cliff Kincaid, means you could lose a lot more than two grand a year:
The bill defines the term "Millennium Development Goals" as the goals set out in the United Nations Millennium Declaration, General Assembly Resolution 55/2 (2000)....
In addition to seeking to eradicate poverty, that declaration commits nations to banning "small arms and light weapons" and ratifying a series of treaties, including the International Criminal Court Treaty, the Kyoto Protocol (global warming treaty), the Convention on Biological Diversity, the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women, and the Convention on the Rights of the Child.
This bill opens up America to increased United Nations control. Hyperbole? Not at all. Take the Convention on the Rights of the Child for example. America's laws concerning the child are at the state level, not the federal. According to Wikipedia, "The U.S. Constitution not only limits federal jurisdiction over children, the U.S. Supreme Court has held that to some significant degree, no government—federal, state, or local—may interfere with the parent-child relationship."
Agreeing to this treaty would amount to the federal government putting the United Nations right in the middle of your family.

If the mainstream media would only report this Obama’s campaign would be over.
PATHETIC that 3 Republican senators put their names on this garbage.
Apr 24, 2008: Placed on Senate Legislative Calendar under General Orders. Calendar No. 718
Okay, I can’t count make that 5.
Sure they will.
Right after they report the 500 tons of yellowcake taken from Iraq.
....................... [/s do I need this?]
..and not a peep from our Gelding Republican Leadership!
Why in the devil do Snowe and Collins pretend to be Republicans? Why not just change parties? What’s the advantage to them to claim they are Republicans?
The RINO takeover of the GOP is like the Islamonazi takeover
of America. The frog in the slowly boiling pot does not
jump out. It dies.
Snowe and Collins need to be replaced.
Five Senators doesn’t make a RINO takeover.
No, but when all the rest are spineless whimps, five is all it takes.
The poor have always and will always be with us.
I had Psych prof in college who put it to us this way:
Suppose everybody in the world makes $50,000/year and you and a handful of people get a raise of $50/year, bringing your annual income to $50,050/year. Those who didn’t get a raise are now the “poor”.
In the 60s, LBJ initiated the “War on Poverty” that was a money grab to throw more money at the poor in an attempt to wipe it out in America. Nearly 50 years later, due to a broad variety of factors (including government manipulation of the metrics and the numbers), the “War on Poverty” has been a crashing failure that has led to the number of porr increasing rather than decreasing.
For as long as idiots like Obama try to eradicate poverty, the poor will be happy to exploit their status and suck the rest of us dry. We should not be punished and they should not be rewarded for a lifetime of poor decisions that has led to them either becoming or remaining poor.
Dear God!....this would just about be the final nail in the coffin for the American taxpayer and the economy.....
If this global socialist lands his butt in the White House....bye bye America!
Hagel and Snowe are hardly conservatives...

But so many people on Free Republic told us that the only way for the Republican party to succeed was to invite the RINOs in with open arms. What that did was dilute the message until the Party stood for nothing.
A bit ot, but I found this. Really food for thought:
The Jihad Candidate
How long did it take Islam and their oil money to find a candidate for President of the United States? As long as it took them to place a Senator from Illinois and Minnesota? The same amount of time to create a large Muslim enclave in Detroit? The time it took them to build over 2,000 mosques in America? The same amount of time required to place radical wahabbist clerics in our military and prisons as ‘chaplains’?
Find a candidate who can get away with lying about their father being a ‘freedom fighter’ when he was actually part of the most corrupt and violent government in Kenya’s history. Find a candidate with close ties to The Nation of Islam and the violent Muslim overthrow in Africa, a candidate who is educated among white infidel Americans but hides his bitterness and anger behind a superficial toothy smile. Find a candidate who changes his American name of Barry to the Muslim name of Barack Hussein Obama, and dares anyone to question his true ties under the banner of ‘racism’. Nurture this candidate in an atmosphere of anti-white American teaching and surround him with Islamic teachers. Provide him with a bitter, racist, anti-white, anti-American wife, and supply him with Muslim middle east connections and Islamic monies. Allow him to be clever enough to get away with his anti-white rhetoric and proclaim he will give $834 billion taxpayer dollars to the Muslim controlled United Nations for use in Africa.
Install your candidate in an atmosphere of deception, because questioning him on any issue involving Africa or Islam would be seen as ‘bigoted racism’; two words too powerful to allow the citizenry to be informed of facts. Allow your candidate to employ several black racist Nation of Islam Louis Farrakhan followers as members of his Illinois Senatorial and campaign staffs.
Where is the bloodhound American ‘free press’ who doggedly overturned every stone in the Watergate case? Where are our nation’s reporters that have placed every Presidential candidate under the microscope of detailed scrutiny; the same press who pursue Bush’s ‘Skull and Bones’ club or ran other candidates off with persistent detective and research work? Why haven’t ‘newsmen’ pursued the 65 blatant lies told by this candidate during the Presidential primaries? Where are the stories about this candidate’s cousin and the Muslim butchery in Africa? (WHOM OBAMA WENT TO KENYA TO CAMPAIGN FOR) Since when did our national press corps become weak, timid, and silent? Why haven’t they regaled us with the long list of socialists and communists who have surrounded this ‘out of nowhere’ Democrat candidate or the fact that his church re-printed the Hamas Manifesto in their bulletin, and that his ‘close pastor friend and mentor’ met with Middle East terrorist Muammar Qaddafi, (Guide of the First of September Great Revolution of the Socialist People’s Libyan Arab Jamahiriya)? Why isn’t the American press telling us this candidate is supported by every Muslim organization in the world?
As an ultimate slap in the face, be blatant in the fact your candidate has ZERO interest in traditional American values and has the most liberal voting record in U.S. Senate history. Why has the American mainstream media clammed up on any negative reporting on Barak Hussein Obama? Why will they print Hillary Rodham Clinton’s name but never write his middle name? Is it not his name? Why, suddenly, is ANY information about this candidate not coming from mainstream media, but from the blogosphere by citizens seeking facts and the truth? Why isn’t our media connecting the dots with Islam? Why do they focus on ‘those bad American soldiers’ while Islam slaughters non-Muslims daily in 44 countries around the globe? Why does our media refer to Darfur as ‘ethnic cleansing’ instead of what it really is: Muslims killing non-Muslims! There is enough strange, anti-American activity surrounding Barack Hussein Obama to pique the curiosity of any reporter. WHERE IS OUR INVESTIGATIVE MEDIA!?
A formal plan for targeting America was devised three years after the Iranian revolution in 1982. The plan was summarized in a 1991 memorandum by Mohammed Akram, an operative of the global Muslim Brotherhood. ‘The process of settlement’ of Muslims in America, Akram explained, ‘is a civilization jihad process.’ This means that members of the Brotherhood must understand that their work in ‘America is a kind of grand jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and sabotaging its miserable house by their hands and the hands of the believers so that it is eliminated and Allah’s religion is made victorious over all other religions.’
There is terrorism we can see, smell and fear, but there is a new kind of terror invading The United States in the form of Sharia law and finance. Condoning it is civilization suicide. Middle East Muslims are coming to America in record numbers and building hate infidel mosques, buying our corporations, suing us for our traditions, but they and the whole subject of Islam is white noise leaving uninformed Americans about who and what is really peaceful. Where is our investigative press? Any criticism of Islam or their intentions, even though Islamic leaders state their intentions daily around the globe, brings forth a volley of ‘racist’ from the left-wing Democrat crowd.
Lies and deception behind a master plan - the ingredients for ‘The Manchurian Candidate’ or the placement of an anti-American President in our nation’s White House? Is it mere coincidence that an anti-capitalist run for President at the same time Islamic Sharia finance and law is trying to make advancing strides into the United States? Is it mere coincidence this same candidate wants to disarm our nuclear capability at a time when terrorist Muslim nations are expanding their nuclear weapons capability? Is it mere coincidence this candidate wants to reduce our military at a time of global jihad from Muslim nations?
Change for America? What change? To become another ‘nation of Islam’?
