>Dear friend of liberty,
>
>The gavel hits. Its piercing crack commands the room. History is made.
>
>The International Criminal Court (ICC) is now in session -- and our
>country will never be the same.
>
>"In July of 1998, 120 nations met in Rome and voted to endorse an
>international criminal court. According to its own terms, when the
>treaty is ratified by 60 nations, it will be capable of exerting
>universal jurisdiction over every human being on the planet. This type
>of criminal court has been on the wish list of the United Nations since
>1947." -- Dr. James Hirsen, 1/5/01
>
>"Once created, the international court will give the U.N. the mechanism
>it needs to enforce its global 'laws' against American citizens. All
>Americans concerned with our sovereignty as a nation should be very
>alarmed by this latest development." -- Congressman Ron Paul, 1/8/01
>
>"In short, the treaty gives the ICC the right to try and imprison U.S.
>citizens, including our military and other government officers, even
>[if] we have refused to sign it, let alone ratify it." -- former
>Secretary of Defense Caspar Weinberger, 7/3/00
>
>"On the International Criminal Court treaty, 'the [Defense] Department's
>position has been clear,' a Pentagon official said. 'We were against
>signing it and still are.'" -- Washington Post, 1/1/01
>
>"Casey [Lee A. Casey, a former Justice Department official who
>specializes in international law] said he opposes the creation of the
>permanent International Criminal Court under the auspices of the United
>Nations because he believes its powers are too extensive, and could
>subject American citizens to trial without allowing them the rights and
>protections they are guaranteed by the Constitution." -- Washington
>Post, 1/1/01
>
>"National sovereignty, which means that Americans are answerable to no
>one but their own government and their own laws, should never be
>compromised. The creation of a permanent, international war-crimes
>tribunal certainly would compromise the national sovereignty of every
>country on Earth." -- Charley Reese, 1/11/01
>
>The Liberty Committee is indeed very alarmed by the International
>Criminal Court. According to recent press reports, President Bush is
>alarmed also. Today, The Liberty Committee is launching a nationwide
>petition drive asking President Bush to rescind the signature of the
>United States to the International Criminal Court treaty that former
>President Clinton authorized on December 31, 2000.
>
>To complete the on-line petition, go to
>http://www.thelibertycommittee.org. Please ask family and friends to do
>the same. There is a printable version of the petition that we ask you
>to print, copy and distribute to people who don't use the Internet. All
>completed and received petitions, on-line and printed, will be presented
>to the White House.
>
>The International Criminal Court will consider itself to be formally and
>officially established after only 60 of the world's 161 countries ratify
>the Rome Statute of the ICC. As of today, 27 countries have ratified
>the treaty. The ICC needs just 33 more ratifying countries, from
>among the 112 which have signed but not yet ratified, to claim
>jurisdiction over all 161 countries and their citizens.
>
>"It is my fervent hope that ...a large majority of United Nations Member
>States will have signed and ratified [the ICC treaty], so that the Court
>will have unquestioned authority and the widest possible jurisdiction."
>-- U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan, 7/18/98
>
>"Only hours before the Dec. 31 [2000] deadline, Bill Clinton gave the
>United Nations its most significant victory so far in its relentless
>quest for global governance: the International Criminal Court."
>-- Henry Lamb, 1/3/01
>
>Supporters of the ICC have worked for years to establish this new world
>court. It is now time for us to do our work. Please sign our petition
>and ask others to do the same.
