Sen. Barbara Boxer is urging the U.S. to ratify a United Nations measure meant to expand the rights of children, a move critics are calling a gross assault on parental rights that could rob the U.S. of sovereignty.

The California Democrat is pushing the Obama administration to review the U.N. Convention on the Rights of the Child, a nearly 20-year-old international agreement that has been foundering on American shores since it was signed by the Clinton administration in 1995 but never ratified.

Critics say the treaty, which creates "the right of the child to freedom of thought, conscience and religion" and outlaws the "arbitrary or unlawful interference with his or her privacy," intrudes on the family and strips parents of the power to raise their children without government interference.

Signing on to this treaty is just creating another whip with which the world will use to beat the U.S. when it objects to lack of human rights in those countries. As someone has mentioned, the charge of hypocrisy is only potent against those who hold themselves to a higher standard. It means nothing to those who don’t.

Boxer should be kicked out of office for violating her oath to uphold and protect the constitution and the sovereignty of the nation

Signing any treaty that violates the constitution, erodes our national sovereignty is cause for a good tar and feathering.

This treaty will make adults who have sex with children no longer criminals as then “children's sexual rights” will supersede our laws against pedophilia.

Every dangerous idea that has ever been floated by the left is being brought up. The left is engaging in its big push for total permanent domination. A fight is coming! 2010

You need to forward that info to Bill OReilly as he has led charge against pedophiles in US...and he might cause an uprising over this.

When I was in Brazil, I saw a sign that made me sick.

Here is the translation from the Portuguese.

“Sex with children under 12 years of age is againt the law.”

Brazil is a signer of the UN Charter on the Rights of the Child.
