A new anti-United Nations television campaign is reversing the familiar refrain "get the U.S. out of the U.N.," and instead urges the global body be kicked out of the U.S.
"The U.N. has become an apologist and defender of terrorist organizations and their agents," says the 60-second commercial, which points out the recent Oil-for-Food scandal involving the U.N.
"Billions of dollars intended for humanitarian aid instead went to pay the families of Palestinian terrorists, and to buy weapons for Iraq-based terrorists. Millions more went to bribe journalists and officials in countries opposing Operation Iraqi Freedom, like France, Germany and Russia, the most vocal critics of the war. What a coincidence."
It continues by asking: "We tell other countries not to harbor organizations that support terrorists, why then do we harbor the U.N. here in America?"
Leading the campaign to boot the U.N. is the conservative organization, Move America Forward, which was founded by former California Assemblyman Howard Kaloogian and San Francisco talk-radio personality Melanie Morgan.
Kaloogian recently chaired the Recall Gray Davis Committee, leading the effort that replaced the embattled California governor with Arnold Schwarzenegger, and also helped rally millions of Americans to oppose the airing of the CBS' piece "The Reagans," which portrayed the former first family unfavorably.
"The recent revelations on the U.N. Oil-for-Food scandal are the final straws in making the case against the U.N.," said Kaloogian. "The U.S. government is resolved to take action against nations that harbor terrorists or organizations which provide financial aid or in-kind assistance to terrorists. Why, then does our nation play host to, and harbor, the United Nations when recent evidence implicates the U.N.'s role in providing assistance to terrorists such as Yasser Arafat and Saddam Hussein?"
The group is asking concerned citizens to sign its online petition which will be delivered to President Bush and leaders of Congress, as well as the U.N.
The petition concludes by stating, "We, the undersigned, do therefore call for the following to take place immediately:
Removal of the United Nations Headquarters facilities from New York, relocating it outside of the United States and any of its territories.
A thorough review of the U.S. financial contributions to the U.N. with a goal of a more equitable payment schedule. Until that review is concluded, eliminate all the payments made by the United States to the United Nations."
Response to the effort thus far has been overwhelming, according to the group.
"I have never seen such a vigorous response to any grassroots effort like there's been to this effort to take serious steps to sanction the U.N. for it's coddling of terrorists and terrorist-supporting regimes," said Morgan of KSFO Radio.
"We need drastic change right away, and that begins with getting the U.N. out of this country and all the terrorist-sympathizing U.N. agents out of here immediately. Then we need to re-examine the amount of money that we provide the U.N. Americans pay too much to the U.N. for the treatment we receive," she said.
I vote with Grandpa as well!!!!
The United Nations exists only because the United States exists.
I would like to see the US remain in the UN with Colin Powell taking Kofi Annan's position. Give Powell a chance to clean up the mess.
You are dead on with answers - Great - if you don't mind my saying so -
The nations are already lining up - taking sides - I say get on with it - stop playing around - it will costs more lives in the long run by delaying -
Just as with WWII - Do a Sir Winston Churchill - and see and call the problem for what it is - and take action sooner rather than later -
just butting in -
But then, what ever would we do with that big building in NYC? How about an indoor firing range?
"Dunno why there's so much emotionalism attached to the question of the future of the UN and its role in relationship to The US. I mean, how much importance can be attached to irrelevance? IMO, the UN is a fraud-bound, corruptly, ineptly managed, hypocritical, socialist/globalst, ant-US debating society and cocktail circuit, impotent as regards international conflict and uniquely succeptable to scandal, though given to and capable of some charitable works, provided the going doesn't get too difficult. The concept was laudable, the execution has been pathetic bordering on criminal. I see no point in attempts toward or prospects for the rehabilitation of the moribund travesty. The real estate occupied by their Manhattan campus would better serve the borrough, the city, the state, and this nation if returned to the tax roll, the strutures currently thereon converted to honest rubble and usefull fill, the leased properties housing their myriad satellite offices throughout the city would themselves be better utilized housing tax-paying, American-job-providing, economy-boosting, revenue-generating American businesses, and finally, the departure of the parasitic organization from the city would have grat and beneficial effect on overall vehicular traffic flow and free up scarce parking resources in the area currebtky blighted by its presence. Kofi Anan and crew, including his son, Messrs. Savan, el Barradei, and Blix, and every member of each of their personal and administrational staffs, ought to be prosecuted for crimes both financial and humanitarian, be accorded significant prison time and finacial forfeiture, then be deported in chains. Whether the UN goes to France, Fiji, or Finland I could care less, just so long as goes and goes with all possible dispatch, leaving the US entirely free of its perfidious influence and odious presence. Dismantle it, be done with it, and try something different. Other than that, I don't have an opinion one way or the other; the fate of the UN and of its ruling clique of hoodlums is a matter of extraordinary indifference to me. Why get emotional about it?"
>>>It continues by asking: "We tell other countries not to harbor organizations that support terrorists, why then do we harbor the U.N. here in America?"
Yes, I agree, the UN is a bed of terrorism. But what about the "keep your enemy at your side"?
If we kick the UN out, will we know what they are up to?
I've been saying get the UN out of the US for 30 yrs or so.
They need to be gone yesterday.
Bump!

American Policy Center on-line Declaration of Independence from the U.N.
Neal Boortz has the right idea- kick them off US soil, plop them down in Haiti, and tell them, "when you get this straightened out, give us a call..."
Moreover:
--U.N. Finally Forced to Probe Its Pedophilia Scandal-
--UN cash for accused Nazi (Waldheim got 4,1 million)-
--'War Crimes' Fear For British Troops. Well, they wanted the World Court Didn't They?-
