n March of this year, Rep. Mike Rogers (R-AL) introduced HR1205: American Sovereignty Restoration Act of 2015, which was assigned to a congressional committee. The bill would effectively end the united States' membership in the United Nations, but why is there no push to advance it forward? "The U.N. continues to prove it's an inefficient bureaucracy and a complete waste of American tax dollars," Rogers said in a statement. "Although the United States makes up almost a quarter of the U.N.'s annual budget, the U.N. has attempted a number of actions that attack our rights as U.S. citizens." Among those...

The United Nations is holding a conference beginning this week in New York that ironically coincides with our national 4th of July holiday. It’s ironic because those attending the conference want to do away with one of our most fundamental constitutional freedoms—the right to bear arms. The stated goal of the conference is to eliminate trading in small arms, but the real goal is to advance a worldwide gun control movement that ultimately supercedes national laws, including our own 2nd Amendment. Many UN observers believe the conference will set the stage in coming years for an international gun control treaty....

U.S. Congressman Chris Smith (R-NJ) has said that Bellamy is so pro-abortion that, while a Senator...

Unopposed in the primary, Anton is running against incumbent Democrat Carolyn Maloney. Anton led a rally at Dag Hammarskjold Plaza opposing Rep.Maloney's request for UN election monitors...

Mangy Cast Of U.N. Characters Display Their Irrelevance; Decimated By Secretary Powell Rush Limbaugh - February 14, 2003 On Friday, I decided to JIP - join in progress - Secretary of State Colin Powell's comments to the United Nations. Powell hammered the wimp French and Syrian foreign ministers. They spoke prior to him and insulted the United States of America in general and Powell personally. Every speaker prior to the SecState read from prepared comments, which they clearly prepared before Hans Blix issued his report. Secretary Powell spoke extemporaneously. The secretary is interested in facts; everybody else involved was interested...
