Summary

The Charter of the United Nations is neither politically nor legally binding upon the United States of America or the American people.

The Charter of the United Nations is commonly assumed to be a treaty.  It is not.  Instead, the Charter of the United Nations is a constitution.  As such, it is illegitimate, having created a supranational government, deriving its powers not from the consent of the governed (the people of the United States and peoples of other member nations) but from the consent of the peoples' government officials who have no authority to bind either the American people nor any other nation's people to any terms of the Charter of the United Nations.

Even if the Charter of the United Nations were a properly-ratified treaty, it would still be constitutionally illegitimate and void because it transgresses the Constitution of the United States of America in three major respects:

     1.  It unconstitutionally delegates to the United Nations the U.S. Congress' legislative power to
      initiate war and the U.S. president's executive power to conduct war;
     2.  It unconstitutionally transfers to the United Nations General Assembly the United States House
     of Representatives' exclusive power to originate revenue-raising measures; and, 
     3.  It unconstitutionally robs the 50 American states of powers reserved to them by the Tenth
     Amendment of the Constitution of the United States of America.

H.R. 1146 - The American Sovereignty Restoration Act of 2003 is the only viable solution to the continued abuses of the United Nations.  The U.S. Congress can remedy its earlier unconstitutional action of embracing the Charter of the United Nations by enacting H.R. 1146.  The U.S. Congress, by passing H.R. 1146, and the U.S. president, by signing H.R. 1146, will heed the counsel of our first president, George Washington, when he advised his countrymen to "steer clear of permanent alliances with any portion of the foreign world," lest the nation's security and liberties be compromised by endless and overriding international commitments.

I constantly write my Reps and Sens to reinforce the message that this needs to get passed NOW! I suggest staying on top of the issue and ask them to co-support it.

BUMP

[philman_36]

The info has been around for a while...HR 1146

[philman_36]

Check out reply #185
250,000 and 300,000 petitions and here we are still waiting for passage.

[Dr. Marten]

Bump!

[philman_36]

And I'll give you a BTTT back, though if you get more than twenty replies on this thread I'll be shocked.
I guess there are just too many that still don't get it or don't care. I must admit that over time I've given up on it's passing. All those petitions with all of those signatures apparently don't mean anything to our "representatives". They know better than us after all ya know.

The UN is behind most of the abortion procedues and population control policies in the world. An organization which promotes terrorism and abuses in human rights. Put Syria on the Security Council 2 weeks after 9-11.

Urge your representative now to cosponsor the American Sovereignty Restoration Act,as soon as it is introduced.

Urge your senators to sponsor a similar resolution in the Senate.

As he has since 1997, Representative Ron Paul (R-Texas) will introduce H.R. 1146, the American Sovereignty Restoration Act, in Congress this session.

As he has done in past sessions of Congress, Rep. Paul will delay introducing the bill until the number 1146 comes up (for ease in identifying his bill).

Have you ever asked yourself why the United States would (a) join an organization led by Communists,
(b) where Democracy is not the goal of all members,
(c) why the US Congress would promote treaties that disolve our sovereignty and independence from Communism,
(d) why not one elected legislator stands up to tell you the truth about their intentions of support for the UN goals,
(e)why our military is ordered to join with the UN Forces,
(f) why Michael New was convicted for refusing to wear a UN emblem on his US Army uniform.
(g) why the United States si the largest donor to the UN Budget,
(h) why the truth isn't being screamed by our "Patriots", ex military men, Senator McCain and President Bush,
(i)why we are so damn stupid and keep walking right into these burning fires?

How many times do we have to get burned before we will do something?
