Annan to address US public in nationally broadcast Town Hall meeting
9 October – Kofi Annan, the Secretary-General of the United Nations, will address the United States public on 11 October - one month to the day after the terrorist attacks on New York and Washington D.C. - during a Town Hall meeting that will be broadcast nationwide.
Moderated by Walter Cronkite, the event will enable Mr. Annan to engage the US public in a conversation by reaching out to their communities. Via satellite from the UN in New York, the Secretary-General will detail how the UN can support the global effort against terrorism. After his address, he will take questions from people gathered in ten cities - Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Denver, Houston, Los Angeles, Minneapolis, Seattle, St. Louis and Tampa.
Each individual city will host a panel of experts and a local moderator to facilitate ongoing discussion after the satellite portion of the broadcast concludes. The focus of the local meetings will be the impact of the terrorist attacks on the United States and the world. Some of the moderators include NBC's Bob Costas in St. Louis, former Colorado Senator Tim Wirth in Boston, and the National President of the League of Women Voters, Carolyn Jefferson-Jenkins, in Denver. The invitation only audience will be comprised of business and civic leaders, elected officials, youth, community leaders and clergy.
The Town Hall meeting is being produced by The Better World Campaign, a project of the Better World Fund, a sister organization to the United Nations Foundation. The Fund was created from a portion of an initial gift of $1 billion from American philanthropist and businessman Ted Turner. The organization is a bi-partisan, non-profit education and outreach initiative that aims to enhance awareness and appreciation for the work of the UN and the role it plays in international affairs.
ANSWER: = Never
The reason being, the "COWARD" and his cabinet of circus side shows are gone, and George W. Bush has ignored them and they are afraid of the writing on the wall, we don't want them deciding how we handle our internal affairs. But all of these hand wringers can't see the forrest for the tree's, they must be happy being miserable worrying about things that have not and will never happen.
What we as conservatives need to do is not destruct from within, The left knows what stirs the pot, so they report on hypatheticals to get us to infight, just look at most of these reports about immigration, globalization come from? NYT's, Wash. Post, LAT's, and the Miami Harold. This is why we are called the stupid party, we let these harvard maggot's get us up in a frenzy over hypatheticals. If you don't believe me, do a NYT's search on Immigration and compare the number of articles on this subject from Jan. 2000 to Sept. 2000, and then compare that total to Jan. 2001 thru Sept. 2001, 20 times more, do you think that's by accident?,
Now look at the headlines about the U.N. now and compare them to when the "COWARD" was in office, these same Liberal rags were silent when the "COWARD" was in office
How would you like it if the Russians would come into America and tell you what to do?
How you and your family will live, I do not think you will like it.
All over the world, the countries hate us.
For trying to control their lives.
We must get rid of the United Nations.
Instead of welfare to these countries, let them stand up on their own .Isn't it ironic that the government tells people to get off welfare in America and to stand up for independence in America, but yet, for 50 years with the marshall plan, we are supporting the world with our money.
I think it's time for the government to tell other countries, we are going to cut your welfare off so you can stand up and be independent and free.
If it's good for Americans then it should be good for the world. --------------- It's called FREEDOM.
The appropriation bill to pay off the UN came from alleged anti-UN Sen. Jesse Helms - just after his photo-op finger wagging speech to the UN General Assembly, and just prior to his announcing his retirement.
Good 'ole Jesse. His committee passed on to the marxist senate 34 treaties - all of which were passed by a voice vote of those present.
America is being sold out everyday of the week, and now, when we are at war, and Bush put that money sucking leach on notice today that he will take this war to any nation he decides as necessary, we learn these back stabbing traitors, who would have never gained their wealth if they made clear their hidden agenda, are going to wage war against us on our airwaves, by presenting this boot licker as a wise 'ole man come down from the mountain to save us from our well meaning but otherwise nincompoop commander-in-chief. I say do not let that program air for national security reasons.
America is at war, and we are allowing our airwaves to be used by anti-American propagandists who intend to implant doubt, fear and distrust into our nation.
This is psychological warfare aimed at defeating our intent to put a halt to the continuous terrorist attacks on Americans and our military personnel. We started walking a trail of defeat beginning with a truck bombing that took the lives of 268 servicemen. America offered no response.
The UN did nothing when China overran Tibet, when the Soviet Union crushed revolts for independence in Hungry and Poland, and will do nothing about our declaration to go anywhere and do anything we decide necessary to put an end to the slime that brought death to New York and military personnel in the Pentagon.
Why?
Because like Cronkite, Helms, and Turner and other anti-Americans of their hypercritical kind, the UN "is" - only so long as American taxpayers keep forking over the cash to make it so. In reality, it is a utopian wet dream. Nothing more.
Every damn bit of anti-American legislation passed by the two major parties - be it transferring American land over to the UN or relinquishing sovereignty by agreeing to set aside the Constitution as the foundation of all law governing the affairs of America - is illegal - is null and void on its face and clear evidence of their failure to hold to their oath of office - treason.
And they dare stand before America to tell us what is best for us.
In a pig's eye.
