Bush Alert!!!

In the quest to globalize the United States we as a nation are inching closer toward ratifying the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea Treaty (LOST). President Bush endorsed this treaty in May and has since urged the Senate to ratify it. Initial reports indicated that the Senate may have attempted to ratify LOST before adjourning for the August recess. The Law of the Sea Treaty (LOST) entered into force in 1994 and has been ratified by 153 countries (click here for a list of recent LOST developments). The treaty gives the UN complete jurisdiction over the oceans and everything in them, including the ocean floor with all its resources, along with the power to regulate 70 percent of the world's surface. LOST would encompass almost every aspect of the oceans whether the president, members of Congress, or other government officials will admit it or not. According to a recent Wall Street Journal article, the treaty is "set to come before the U.S. Senate next month for ratification." Former President Ronald Reagan originally rejected the ratification of LOST in 1982, but recent appeals from the Bush administration, some members of Congress, and the Council on Foreign Relations, has caused the treaty to resurface. What does LOST mean to the United States? National sovereignty: The treaty limits U.S. legal authority by granting power to a U.N.-created agency with its own court and bureaucracy, as part of a general expansion of international power. Ultimately, treaty-based laws could be enforced against the United States. Hell, we won't even be able to enforce the border laws we have with out going through the United Nations first and begging for their sanction. National security: The treaty limits U.S. military activities especially relevant to anti-terror operations, such as intelligence collection and submerged travel in coastal waters (Articles 19, 20) and the boarding of foreign-flag ships on the high seas (Art. 110). Other provisions such as Articles 88 and 301 limit the sea to "peaceful purposes," which is said to restrict all military operations. Navigation rights: One of the treaty's main selling points, legally recognized navigation rights on, over, and under straits, is unnecessary because these rights are not currently threatened. WTF, this means the UN will have jurisdiction over our shipping, commerce and our Navy. Redistribution of wealth: The treaty would force U.S. corporations involved in seabed mining operations to pay taxes to the United Nations, further increasing the U.N.'s power. Oil drilling and recovery are considered mining operations, if you think your gas and heating taxes are high now, just wait until the U.N. taxes you and redistributes that resource. Redistribution of technology: The treaty would force U.S. businesses involved in seabed mining operations to turn over economically and militarily relevant technology to other countries. Wow, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Libya would just love that. Is there no level that our president will not stoop to undermine our sovereignty? If this is what you want for the nation's future then by all means don't call your representative, just sit there and join Europe as wards of the United Nations because Jorge Bush is acting as a single agent to make it happen.   How about that trip to Canada last week, you know the one where Jorge Bush met with the leaders of Canada and Mexico to set up a so-called Security and Prosperity Partnership to look at ways of deepening the North American Free-Trade Agreement (NAFTA) that links their countries. We are told we can relax: talks this week at Montebello, a resort near Ottawa, between Mr Bush, Canada's prime minister, Stephen Harper, and Mexico's president, Felipe Calderón, were “practical” according to the host. As an example, Mr Harper revealed that time had been spent discussing standardising labels for jelly-beans. No conspiracy to create a North American Union, they were just socializing. Weren't they? Withdrawal from NAFTA is key because it is the foundation upon which the SPP/NAU North American integration activities are based. According to Article 2205 of the NAFTA Agreement, the U.S. can withdraw at any time by providing six months notice to the other members of NAFTA, Mexico and Canada. Representative Virgil Goode of Virginia has introduced H. Con. Res. 22 "Expressing the sense of Congress that the President should provide notice of withdrawal of the United States from the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA)." Our American life of freedom under the Constitution is already at risk due to the North American integration activities of our federal government through the SPP agreement. It is the responsibility of Congress to preserve our freedoms by preventing any merger of the U.S., Mexico, and Canada without the clear knowledge and agreement of the American public. Yet Jorge has tried to ramrod through and amnesty bill to grant illegal immigrants legal status, that was narrowly halted by open protest by you the citizen. Obviously in Bush's mind it doesn't matter because once the NAU is in effect we will all be citizens of the NAU. Please support H. Con. Res. 22 and any other legislation that will lead to U.S. withdrawal from NAFTA. Please help block the development of the Security and Prosperity Partnership (SPP) and the North American Union (NAU) by working with other representatives and senators to withdraw U.S. membership in the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). It' up to you, because both parties are trying to give away your birthright.
