It doesn't look like the UN and the political leaders of the US are planning to part ways any time soon.
US Ambassador to the UN Negroponte's address to Congress March 14, 2002. Make sure you read the links, too. Lot's of good stuff included.
And if you know anyone who thinks the UN is reforming like www.cunr.org says, they may be in for a surprise. But then again, anybody who really believes the UN is being reformed is probably surprised every morning when they open their eyes.

It was recently pointed out, that by targetting currency exchange as a source of taxable income for the UN, every purchase made by someone in the US, of a product made in a foriegn country, and vice-versa, will be subject to this tax. The tax will be,using a UN term, 'transparent'.
Ah, Globalism. Ah, NAFTA. Ah, Spheres of influence. They beginning to sound like building blocks for Mr. Big, yet?

Time to Freep the Whitehouse and let George know how we feel about this! I'm still ticked because he gave them the back dues!

I'll link to this... if the media does not like a story, they just don't talk about it- so the average person hasn't a clue.

"who pays the UN costs to overthrow the American way of life with your tax dollars."
The very FIRST order of business for Congress last year, while Republicans still had the majority in the Senate,
was to authorize back payments to the UN.
8 years of klintoon to clean up and this was their 1st priority.

And don't they have to go through Congress to see to it we pay taxes on a worldwide basis? Maybe he is going to let them know this is a dumb idea.

All you lovers of Saint George take note: he's about to sell out the U.S. again. I'll take bets on his supporting a worldwide taxing authority Wouldn't take that bet if you gave me 10 to 1 odds.

Actually, Bush should be told not to go to the conference at all. Everyone knows once he's there he will not tell them off, as he should. In addition, him going in person legitimizes the whole nasty business and shows he consideres it even worth debate. Appearances mean a lot in politics and this looks bad for us. Hang on to your wallets folks.

In fact most of them are drooling at the prospect. They don't talk about things they consider too deep for us fly-over people or things they worry might needlessly stir up the natives or things they would rather we not hear about. It's a bit like communism, those who decide have the power.

I think he knows that if he were to do that, people would scream treason and impeachment. It does make one nervous that he has consistantly refused to give his position on it. With probably 95% of the population completely oblivious to the fact this is even happeneing, let alone the potential consequences and inherent symbolism, who do you think is going to scream? There is a reason he hasn't come out against it...he's either for it or he's on the fence and plans on signing on anyway.

--it's when you take it all into account, all the various ways the UN is affecting people, and what they got planned. People have been laughing at it, calling it no big deal every step of the way, but now they actually have some serious control of US people, and they really have a lot of control over how the kids get raised and taught. To a lot of folks it's too subtle to pick up on, because there's hardly ever any news on it.
I'm thinking there might finally be action once the tax is in place, and if that don't do it it will be the attempt to regulate and tax private well water usage.

You still seem to think anyone in DC gives the slightest damn about the Constitution. Bush could have let them know it was a dumb idea in a letter or with an envoy. His personal presence legitimizes the whole thing and he knows it.

He said no new taxes. 'Over my dead body'. He just raised foreign "aid". I really don't believe he will approve this. We'll see.
To: ratcat
Thanks for all your pings, Ratcat. And Happy St. Pat's to you!
PS: It will be a cold day in you know what before I give the UN one slim dime!

The inaction of our Congress will decide the results,. This is the State Departments views. Maybe you should ask Bush why he has a Communist in that seat.
"With respect to U.S. policy, when it comes to our role as a member of the Security Council [of the United Nations] we obviously are bound by UN resolutions." - Colin Powell, Secretary of State
