Get US out! of the UN � H.R. 1146 Has Been Re-Introduced
in the 108th Congress
Recommendation: Contact your
representative by email, phone, or fax and ask him to cosponsor H.R.
1146 ("American Sovereignty Restoration Act of 2003"), which would end
U.S. membership in the United Nations. Emphasize that you support
getting out of the UN to preserve our nation's freedom to declare war
only when the U.S. Congress determines that war is necessary to
preserve American lives, freedom, and property. Explain that you do
not favor using the U.S. military to enforce UN
resolutions.
Status: Congressman Ron Paul (R-Texas) re-introduced
H.R. 1146 on March 6th. The bill was referred to the House Committee on
International Relations. As of March 12th there were already four
cosponsors: Rep. Roscoe Bartlett (R-Maryland), Rep. John Duncan
(R-Tenn.), Rep. Terry Everett (R-Ala.), and Rep. Joel Hefley
(R-Colo.).
Summary: Be sure to contact your representative now,
even though you might have already done so innumerable times before. In
recent weeks perceptions of the UN have changed dramatically. Many
conservative opinion molders have begun to call for the U.S. to get out
of the UN. Unfortunately, this new anti-UN rhetoric has been largely
based on the failure of the UN Security Council to approve a resolution
authorizing the U.S. and its allies to take military action to disarm
Iraq. The more that conservative voters can be led to get mad at other
nations over their lack of support for enforcing UN resolutions, the
more these same voters will be conditioned to support using the U.S.
military to enforce UN resolutions.
