"Rep. Scott Garrett, New Jersey Republican, yesterday won approval in a House subcommittee to cut $2 million from the U.S. contribution to the U.N. budget, saying that taxpayer money should not be used to lobby the U.S. government."

Domestically it is ILLEGAL for "any agency which receives federal funds....to lobby congress for or against any pending legislation".

Not that our alphabet agencies comply, but the same law should certainly apply to the damn U.N.
They get money from the U.S., they don't get to try to lobby the U.S.!
If that conflicts with their goals, charter, or feelings, too damn bad, they can move to Chad!
