A bill was introduced in the Senate by Barack Obama (D-IL) that, if passed, would move the United States dangerously close to giving up its national sovereignty. The Global Poverty Act of 2007 (S.2433) would
“require the President to develop and implement a comprehensive strategy to further the United States foreign policy objective of promoting the reduction of global poverty, the elimination of extreme global poverty, and the achievement of the Millennium Development Goal of reducing by one-half the proportion of people worldwide, between 1990 and 2015, who live on less than $1 per day.”
This bill is un-American and ultimately, by directing the “achievement” of the United Nations Millennium Development Goal, which calls for the “eradication of poverty” by “redistribution (of) wealth and land,” cancellation of “the debts of developing countries” and “a fair distribution of the earth’s resources”, will set the stage for a global taxation of the United States.
According to Phyllis Shiafly at Townhall.com:
“There is much more to the Millennium Goals than merely extorting more money from U.S. taxpayers. The goals set forth a comprehensive plan to put the United States under U.N. global governance.”
In fact, the Millennium Development Goals call for a “standing (U.N.) peace force,” a “U.N. Arms register,” “peace education” in “all levels from preschool through university,” and most disturbing, “political control of the global economy.” I believe the U.N.’s Millennium Project and associated goals would compromise American sovereignty, and any mandate to implement any of these goals must be staunchly opposed. The “Global Poverty Act of 2007″ is just such a mandate and is not in the best interest of the United States.
Think this could never happen in the United States? Think again! This bill (as H.R.1302) has already passed the House, and was introduced by Representative Adam Smith (D-WA). It was passed by voice vote on September 25, 2007, with no record of the representatives’ position kept.
Write your senators and tell them to kill this bill before its too late!
