The Tennessee ConserVOLiance

From a commenter on my last posting on the Global Poverty Act , I found out there’s even more tucked into the UN Millenium Project besides a stealth tax which is a global tax to be collected and maintained by the United Nations Useless Nitwits.

From Cliff Kincaid at AIM:

This is how the Washington game of spending more of your money works. This is a budget buster that siphons your hard-earned tax dollars to the U.N. and the rest of the world.

In addition to seeking to eradicate poverty, that Millennium 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.

Passage of the Global Poverty Act would not, of course, result in those treaties being ratified. But it does increase the domestic and international pressure to do so. And that is another inherent danger of the Global Poverty Act.

The Millennium Declaration also affirms the U.N. as “the indispensable common house of the entire human family, through which we will seek to realize our universal aspirations for peace, cooperation and development.”

Y’all calling your Senators now? But you know they won’t be back in session until next week. They needed a 10 day break for that one day holiday called Presidents Day.
