Obama’s Global Poverty Act (part deux)

As some of you know, this bill (S.2433) was introduced by Sen. Obama and has passed the House (by voice vote) and was voted out of Joe Biden’s Foreign Relations Committee (with another voice vote) and awaits scheduling by Harry Reid for a vote by the full Senate. This bill (More details here) is not only EXTREMELY dangerous to our national sovereignty, it is another issue that, if widely known, would be extremely damaging to Obama’s Presidential aspirations.

I’m very pleased to report that Dr. Jerome Coursi was on Hannity and Colmes last evening touting his NYT best selling book “The Obama Nation.” As you may recall, he also co-wrote “Unfit for Command,” which was instrumental in “swift-boating” (in the positive sense) John Kerry’s military credentials in the 2004 election.

Dr. Coursey mentioned Obama’s Global Poverty Act and how it directs the President (whoever he or she is) to “the achievement of the United Nations Millennium Development Goal (UNMDG).” Included in the UNMDG, are MANY things that would be damaging to the U.S. Not the least of which would be an assessment of 0.7 % of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) over 13 years, amounting to a tax on U.S. citizens of 845 BILLION dollars, which will be GIVEN TO THE UNITED NATIONS TO SPEND.

Dr. Coursey reiterated the dangers of Obama’s bill committing the U.S. to allow THE U.N. to dictate the amount of our foreign aid, but giving us no say in the distribution of the moneys (and we all know how efficient the U.N. is at handling money). We’ll be pressured to accede to the International Court, the Kyoto Treaty, the Law of the Sea Treaty, and other propositions that are not in our interest, but called for in the UNMDG. I’m doing more research on Obama’s bill and the UNMDG and will post more details on both soon.

It was gratifying to see some national exposure of a newsworthy item that has heretofore been “under the radar” of voter’s considerations when vetting a candidate for President.

This bill, more than anything else, provides the “smoking gun” evidence of Obama’s world government view. If he is elected, you can expect President Obama and a democrat Senate to ram this bill through and create the mechanism to cede many U.S. powers to the U.N. If the bill is passed, it is “unknown” whether President Bush’s will sign it.

Folks, I’m continuing to highlight this issue because I think that we’re nearing a “tipping point” in assuring that Obama will not be our next President. With the candidates within the margin of error on most polls, I believe that this issue could severely damage Obama’s chances, IF WIDELY KNOWN.

After all, how many of us are ready to give the United Nations authority over the government and the people of the United States? THE UNITED NATIONS?

Not me.

MUCH more to come.
