This is exactly what they want! How is it that none of us were aware of this Bill even being debated, much less passed, in the House today? Am I just slipping and everyone but me knew about it?!?!
I was thinking of this possibility today too!
But, that's silly to ask for the credentials of a man who can bankrupt and destroy everything Americans hold dear with the stroke of a pen.
What BO truly is, should be as obvious to these fools as someone grabbing them by both lapels and screaming in their face.
I had to get back up for some reason. Once I read the later posts here, I decided I had to read Christnotes.
This is today’s verse (KJV):
“During the night the mystery was revealed to Daniel in a vision. Then Daniel praised the God of heaven and said: “Praise be to the name of God for ever and ever; wisdom and power are his. He changes times and seasons; he sets up kings and deposes them. He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to the discerning. He reveals deep and hidden things; he knows what lies in darkness, and light dwells with him. I thank and praise you, O God of my fathers: You have given me wisdom and power, you have made known to me what we asked of you, you have made known to us the dream of the king.”
Daniel 2:19-23
The Charlie Rangel, Maxine Waters things are all diversions, perhaps in reality to these bills.
Now look what the Heritage Foundation had to say 02/08/2008: The U.S. Senate has not ratified, and therefore the United States is not a party to, the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, commonly known as the "Law of the Sea Treaty," or LOST. The Bush Administration's fiscal year 2009 budget proposal, however, requests nearly $5 million to fund the LOST organization as well as the international tribunal established by the treaty. The Administration's request is both fiscally irresponsible and opposed to U.S. national interest. If it is not withdrawn, Congress should reject the Administration's proposal and any other request to provide funding for international organizations of which the United States is not a member.
Question is: Why would the the words, "...CMS Plans would be implemented in accordance with customary international law, including as reflected in the Law of the Sea Convention..., be included if we aren't party to the "Law of the Sea Treaty"?
Hmmmm....... " *********I tried to get the italics off from here, but was unable to********* Hmmmmmm.....is right.

You are right, Bush wanted it ratified. As far as I know it has not been passed; however, it seems like it was referred to in the wording of Obama's Executive Order.
Yes, it is in Section II (iii)!!!!!!!!!!!! b) The United States shall promote this policy by:
(i) ensuring a comprehensive and collaborative framework for the stewardship of the ocean, our coasts, and the Great Lakes that facilitates cohesive actions across the Federal Government, as well as participation of State, tribal, and local authorities, regional governance structures, nongovernmental organizations, the public, and the private sector;
(ii) cooperating and exercising leadership at the international level;
(iii) pursuing the United States' accession to the Law of the Sea Convention; and
(iv) supporting ocean stewardship in a fiscally responsible manner
So, yes,......he is by Executive Order PROMOTING the LOST Treaty.....and as I have read over and over, IT is NOT in the best interests of our country to abide by his treaty!...we are giving our sovereignty AWAY to the UN!

I was afraid that they would put it under the guise of “HELPING” our poor and downtrodden!....Little do they know what they are doing!....UN rule here we come....I can’t write what I am thinking....and I did read today that there is new legislation that will be geared to thought crime....they will be able to punish you for something you didn’t do.-—more about that later.

Thank you so much for the verse, combat boots. I’m going to have to sleep at some point and I think this may be what I need to get me headed in that direction:)
I found these on the Rules Committee web site per these 2 bills:
Amendment in the nature of a substitute that combines provisions of H.R. 3534, the “Consolidated Land, Energy, and Aquatic Resources Act of 2009,” and H.R. 5629, the “Oil Spill Accountability and Environmental Protection Act of 2010.”

The amendment would also ensure that the best available technology for oil spill response and mitigation, and the availability and accessibility of that technology is part of the Offshore Technology Research and Risk Assessment Program.

Thank you Combat-Boots for feeding my spirit. I desperately needed to remember God’s presence. May His Everlasting Peace be with us all. Thank you. Amen.
I know! I kept reading this too and was just going to post it when I saw your ping. This is beyond belief!
So, yes,......he is by Executive Order PROMOTING the LOST Treaty.....and as I have read over and over, IT is NOT in the best interests of our country to abide by his treaty!...we are giving our sovereignty AWAY to the UN!
I'm reading this the same way you are! What are We The People to do?!?!?
Forgot the link to the rules site for rules that have been made (up) for these two bills:
http://www.rules.house.gov/SpecialRules_details.aspx?NewsID=4749
See post #60 above:
These are links to something I saw on John Hagee the other night.
Jesus told Peter, “Come.” Peter didn’t look at the churning waters about to sink his boat. He stepped out on the water and looked at Jesus. In these waters, we are never lost, no matter what comes. Not with Jesus Himself holding out His Hand to us.
Come quickly, Lord.
Amen.
