Thirty-four Senate Republicans is all that is keeping the United Nation’s “Law of the Sea Treaty” from being ratified and delivering a potential death blow to our nation’s sovereignty, security and prosperity!
Rejected by Ronald Reagan nearly 25 year ago, the treaty remains an albatross that is now only a breath away from an unnecessary law that would place the U.S. under the governing authority to an unaccountable international body—the UN!
After receiving great pressure from the White House the Senate Foreign Relations Committee approved the treaty by a margin of (17-4) on October 31, leading to speculation that a final ratification vote will take place very soon.
Grassfire.org Alliance has launched a nationwide petition strongly opposing the Law of the Sea Treaty, and has plans to deliver 100,000 citizen petitions to the Senate prior to the ratification vote. The petition states that the Law of the Sea Treaty is a dangerous threat to our nation’s sovereignty, places the U.S. under an international authority, subjects our nation to direct taxation by the United Nations, and may hamper our military.
Step #1 -- Sign the Petition:
The Petition States:
As an American citizen, I am signing this petition opposing Senate ratification of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS or “Law of the Sea Treaty”). The Law of the Sea Treaty is a dangerous threat to our nation’s sovereignty. It places the United States under an international authority, subjects our nation to direct taxation by the United Nations and could hamper our military. The Law of the Sea Treaty is a bad idea that was rejected by Ronald Reagan and should be rejected by the U.S. Senate now. I urge you to vote against ratification of the Law of the Sea Treaty.
LOST PING
Back to the phones and faxes too!
Why you simpleton! You're too stupid to understand the intricacies of international relations and the subtle nuances that entails! /sarc
You need to take that question up with Bush. He is one of the few who knows the true answer.
Voinovich of Ohio supports LOST. Call him.
I think I already know the answer.....
Warns against the party system.
“It serves to distract the Public Councils, and enfeeble the Public Administration....
agitates the Community with ill-founded jealousies and false alarms; kindles the animosity of one....
against another....
it opens the door to foreign influence and corruption...
thus the policy and the will of one country are subjected to the policy and will of another.”
Stresses the importance of religion and morality.
“Where is the security for property, for reputation, for life, if the sense of religious obligation desert the oaths,
which are the instruments of investigation in Courts of Justice?”
On stable public credit.
“...cherish public credit.
One method of preserving it is to use it as sparingly as possible...
avoiding likewise the accumulation of debt....
it is essential that you...bear in mind, that towards the payments of debts there must be Revenue,
that to have Revenue there must be taxes;
that no taxes can be devised, which are not...inconvenient and unpleasant...”
Warns against permanent foreign alliances.
“It is our true policy to steer clear of permanent alliances with any portion of the foreign world...”

Of course our civil “MASTERS” have such high morals and are so much smarter then the Father of our Country. /S
Does the President have veto power over a treaty?
Bush has been enthusiastically supporting its passage, so the chance of him breaking out the veto pen if it reaches his desk is zero. Like amnesty for illegals, Bush has been pushing for LOST like a bulldog. ...transnationalist that he is.
President Bush will not veto it as he is pushing for this
Loss of Sovereignty Treaty.
Yeah I keep hearing that; yet Bush is the one disputing the Treaty.

I’d never thought I’d say this but this man is just as much a criminal as the Clintoons and Kennedy’s.
Yep. He seems to be really enthusiastic about pissing away our sovereignty.
I have already signed this petition. I hope others will also. Thanks for posting it.
Thanks & the whole family signed it. ~Pandy~
