From Henry Lamb's email on the topic: Among the treaty’s many flaws, it authorizes the U.N. to impose a tax, and to extract royalties on activities in and on the international seabed. It requires the transfer of technology - including information that may have security implications. For more detailed information about this terrible treaty, see these two great articles by Frank Gaffney, Assistant Secretary of Defense under Ronald Reagan.

We must take two actions - NOW!

First, call Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist - 202-224-3344 - and ask him to not allow this treaty to by placed on the “unanimous consent” calendar.

Next, call your Senator, and ask him/her to file an objection to force a floor debate and vote. Then ask the Senator to vote against the treaty.
