The UN is the enemy of the United States and liberty! It's working to
establish a one-world Big Brother style dictatorship with global
taxation.
Yeah, there's a monster on the loose
It's got our heads into the noose
And it just sits there watchin'

SHUT DOWN THE UN!!!

The United States Senate may vote any day on the stealth imposition
of what
could amount to an $845 BILLION United Nations style global tax on
American citizens?
It's called the Global Poverty Act (S.2433), and it is being
sponsored by
none other than Senator Barack Obama.
According to some conservative sources, this disastrous legislation
could
eventually force U.S. taxpayers to fork over as much as 0.7 percent of
the nation's Gross Domestic Product -- or $845,000,000,000.00 -- on
welfare to third-world countries.
Here's what Phyllis Schlafly, conservative activist and founder of
Eagle
Forum, recently wrote:
"Obama's costly, dangerous and altogether bad bill (S. 2433), which
could
come up in the Senate any day, is called the Global Poverty Act. It
would commit U.S. taxpayers to spend 0.7 percent of our Gross Domestic
Product on foreign handouts..." [Emphasis Mine]
Time is of the essence because Senator Joe Biden, the Chairman of the
Senate
Foreign Relations Committee just issued a report on the Global Poverty
Act and it was placed on the Senate Legislative Calendar on Thursday
the 24th.
That means that time is of the essence as this potentially
massive
surrender of your hard-earned tax dollars to the third world may be
close to a vote.
That's why we must act now... BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE!

not
tolerate massive United Nations style giveaways that are passed in the
dark of night -- or in broad daylight for that matter. Tell them that
putting us on the road to give billions to petty tyrants and dictators
is NOT a solution to poverty.
This bill can come up for a vote at any time. Demand that our
conservative
legislators do whatever it takes -- a filibuster if necessary -- to
stop this bill dead in its tracks.

The Senate Shell Game...
Advocates of the Global Poverty Act are claiming that it does not
really
commit the United States to anything... that it won't really cost
anything... that it simply requires the President -- in conjunction
with the Secretary of State -- to "develop" strategies to alleviate
world poverty.
In fact, Biden's report incredulously states, "implementing S.
2433 would
cost less than $1 million per year..."
Technically he's correct... after all, it doesn't really cost
that much
to develop and formulate strategies...
But such a cleverly worded contention begs the question: Why
formulate or
develop a strategy if there is no intention to follow through on that
strategy?
And what would it cost to actually follow through on a strategy to
alleviate
world poverty?
The Global Poverty Act intentionally gives no specific figures but
it does
contain clues, and those clues are stated repeatedly in the
legislation's reliance on the United Nations Millennium Development
Goal.
WorldNetDaily.com quotes Cliff Kincaid of Accuracy in Media as
saying:
"The bill defines the term 'Millennium Development Goals' as the
goals set
out in the United Nations Millennium Declaration..."
"In addition to seeking to eradicate poverty, that declaration
commits
nations to banning 'small arms and light weapons' and ratifying a
series of treaties, including the International Criminal Court Treaty,
the Kyoto Protocol (global warming treaty), the Convention on
Biological Diversity, the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms
of Discrimination Against Women, and the Convention on the Rights of
the Child."
As for specific figures... WorldNetDaily.com reports:
"Those U.N. protocols would make U.S. law on issues ranging from
the 2nd
Amendment to energy usage and parental rights all subservient to United
Nations whims."
"[T]he legislation, if approved, dedicates 0.7 percent of the U.S.
gross
national product to foreign aid, which over 13 years... would amount
to $845 billion 'over and above what the U.S. already spends.'"
"The plan passed the House in 2007 'because most members didn't
realize what
was in it.' Congressional sponsors have been careful not to calculate
the amount of foreign aid spending that it would require."
And, how would the United States pay for this $845 BILLION
commitment?
According to Kincaid, who published a report on the legislation; "A
global tax will clearly be necessary to force American taxpayers to
provide the money."
And that $845 BILLION global tax is in addition to our nation's
current
Foreign Aid programs, which, in 2006, cost American taxpayers about
$300 BILLION!
Senator Obama's Global Poverty Act has already passed the House
(many Members
unfortunately voted in favor of it without carefully noting exactly
what was in it) and President Bush may very well sign it!
That's why it must be stopped, and it must be stopped NOW!

It Gets Worse!
Here are some of the additional provisions of the Millennium
Development
Goal:
a "currency transfer tax," that is, a tax imposed on companies and
individuals
who must exchange dollars for foreign currency;
a "tax on the rental value of land and natural resources";
a "royalty on worldwide fossil energy projection -- oil, natural gas,
coal";
"fees for the commercial use of the oceans, fees for airplane use of
the
skies, fees for use of the electromagnetic spectrum, fees on foreign
exchange transactions, and a tax on the carbon content of fuels."
a "standing peace force," meaning a standing United Nations army that
might,
in time, be large enough to force us to bend to its will;
a "UN arms register of all small arms and light weapons," the
beginning of the
end of the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution;
the "eradication of poverty" by the "redistribution [of] wealth and
land" --
How do you suppose the United Nations expects to "redistribute" the
land and the wealth? And what country do you think the third-world
majority will go after first?
cancellation of "the debts of developing countries,"
"a fair distribution of the earth's resources."
and "political control of the global economy."
In other words, it's a blueprint for a world government, owned and
operated by
the United Nations.
One thing is clear: the Millennium Development Goal is a dagger
aimed at
the heart of America.
While the Global Poverty Act, as presently championed by its Senate
supporters, embraces certain aspects of the Millennium Development
Goal, one should wonder if some of our legislators also support land
and wealth "redistribution."
We must stop this bill dead in its tracks.
We must stop this subversion NOW! Don't let Senator Obama's Global
Poverty
Act sneak through the Senate.

Other Appropriate Entities...
Dr. Jeffrey D. Sachs -- a Columbia University economist -- is
monitoring the
Millennium Development Goal for the United Nations.
In his 2005 report to Kofi Annan -- based on the research of 265
"poverty
specialists" -- Sachs criticized the United States for giving only a
mere $16.3 billion a year to alleviate global poverty.
He argued that we should spend at least an additional $30 billion a
year. And Sachs has decreed that the only way to force the United
States to commit
that much money is to IMPOSE A GLOBAL TAX.
Has Senator Obama -- along with the other Senate co-sponsors --
introduced the
Global Policy Act at least in partial obedience to Sachs' wishes?
Phyllis Schlafly claims:
"The Global Poverty Act would be a giant step toward the Millennium
Goals of
global governance and international taxes on Americans. Tell your
Senators to kill this un-American bill."
Joe Farah, publisher of WorldNetDaily.com said of this treacherous
bill:
"Now comes an even grander proposal by Barack Obama. It's called
the
Global Poverty Act, that would, in the next decade, transfer at least
$845 billion of U.S. taxpayer money overseas. Think of Johnson's
failed war on poverty going international -- directed not by Americans
but by the United Nations."
And yes, just in case you think the massive amounts of your tax
dollars that
were wasted under the United Nation's Oil for Food program were an
aberration, and that such a thing could not eventually happen on a
more massive scale were the Global Poverty Act to sneak through the
Senate, Doug Powers, writing for WorldNetDaily.com made this
observation:
"Not long ago, Nigeria's 'anti-corruption commission' -- runner-up
in the
'oxymoron of the year' competition, second only to 'U.S. Senate
Intelligence' -- found that past rulers of Nigeria have stolen or
misused billions of dollars."
"The commission discovered that the amount of money 'missing' adds
up to all
the Western aid given to Africa in four decades. Obama, Hagel and
Cantwell want to throw more at them. Apparently they won't be happy
until there are trillions of our tax dollars stolen by crooked
leaders and warlords." [Emphasis Mine]
Unfortunately, the Global Poverty Act is still flying under the
radar, but
not for long.
There is hope.
We know, and we can stop this vicious bill -- provided we act RIGHT
NOW!
