US lawmakers request UN observers for November 2 presidential election
Yahoo News AFP ^ | July 1, 2004 | Yahoo News AFP

"WASHINGTON (AFP) - Several members of the House of Representatives have requested the United Nations (news - web sites) to send observers to monitor the November 2 US presidential election to avoid a contentious vote like in 2000, when the outcome was decided by Florida.

Recalling the long, drawn out process in the southern state, nine lawmakers, including four blacks and one Hispanic, sent a letter Thursday to UN Secretary General Kofi Annan (news - web sites) asking that the international body "ensure free and fair elections in America," according to a statement issued by Florida representative Eddie Bernice Johnson, who spearheaded the effort..."

What the left would like us to forget and the RNC doesn't do enough talking about:

#1. The Washington Post, CNN and the NYT did a six month study on votes on in Florida. No matter how they counted votes or hanging chads, Bush won more votes in Florida than Gore.

#2. Not one minority in this country has been able to successfully sue anyone based on a denial of vote in the 2000 election. Even with the ACLU's help and free attorneys, no one has been able to prove they were illegally denied the right to vite.

#3. The RNC does not discuss the DNC's attempt to supress the military vote.

Oh yes, of course we want the fox guarding the hen house! One thing for sure, the UN observers would be helping the RATS try to steal the election. Kerry is their choice.

I can't believe these idiot politicians think the UN has any authority in the US. We need to get rid of these morons!!!

The latest reports indicate that the United States is trying to buy a U.N. Security Council resolution on Iraq by bribing members of the council, including Russia and France, and cutting them in on oil deals with a new Iraqi regime. On Meet the Press on September 15th, however, host Tim Russert suggested a different kind of deal – paying the United Nations $250 million to get favorable action from the world body. Interviewing Secretary of State Colin Powell, Russert said, "Would it help us in the United Nations in terms of negotiations if the U.S. paid the $250 million we still owe the U.N.?" Powell replied that the U.S. "fully intends to meet all of its outstanding obligations."

Powell is a long-time U.N. booster who believes in the concept of a so-called U.S. financial "debt" to the U.N. Russert believes that as well, and his question may have been prompted by ads appearing in such publications as The Weekly Standard urging the U.S. to fulfill a "promise" to the world body and pay "overdue U.N. bills." The Congress passed legislation to pay the money if the U.N. accepted certain reforms of its operations, such as dropping efforts to promote global taxes and create a standing U.N. world army.

The U.N. hasn’t discontinued those efforts, which is itself a story ignored by the media. But the other part of the debate not covered by Tim Russert is the substantial number of members of Congress who didn’t believe we had a debt to the U.N. to begin with. Nearly 200 members once voted for Congressman Roscoe Bartlett’s "U.N. Erroneous Debt Act," which asserted that the world body had a financial debt to the U.S. because of extra U.S. financial contributions to U.N. peacekeeping operations.

Evidence from a report of the General Accounting Office reveals that, during fiscal years 1996 to 2001, the U.S. directly contributed an estimated $3.5 billion to support U.N. military operations. Indirect U.S. contributions that benefitted U.N. peacekeeping were estimated at $24 billion during this period. Most of that support was taken out of the Pentagon budget. That’s money never credited to the U.S. account at the U.N. by a world body that accused America of being a "deadbeat" nation in paying our so-called "dues." The GAO said the largest U.S. contribution was to the U.N. Iraq-Kuwait Observation Mission to deter Iraqi aggression. This cost DoD an estimated $6 billion from 1996 through 2001.

Russert apparently forgot that we still have 37,000 troops in South Korea. They are there under U.N. Security Council Resolutions dating back to 1950, by which the United States leads the United Nations Command.

South Korean financial support for U.S. troops has reached more than $700 million annually. But it is estimated that the U.S. also spends between $13 billion and $20 billion annually to defend South Korea [on behalf of the U.N.] The U.N. doesn’t pick up a dime. Next time, Tim Russert should take note of all of the facts before claiming the U.S. is stiffing the U.N. financially.

America is going to learn the hard way that the United Nations works against it's interest.

Our politicians are nothing but fools.

Look at most of the laws passed lately, that are unconstitutional.

Most of them are done by reports that the delegations of the United Nations make up.

These reports become laws in America.

Congress is so easily lead by these reports that they base their opinions on to vote by.

Most of them go along with them this international world government.

Just look at the rulings of the Supreme Courts. Some of them say we should go by international law.

And Congress members changing our tax laws. Because the WTO says we have to.

THe WTO meets in secret and we don't know who sits on the board, but yet they are making all our trade laws.

Like I said, their Fools.

Here is just one source for for GHWB's pro ONE WORLD ORDER PLAN. If you go to Google and enter the statements with quotation marks, you will get many full pages attesting to the fact that I'm not lying.

In my view, the fact that you wish to remain IGNORANT of the truth makes you the nutty, dishonest, and opportunist one. How can you speak the truth if you refuse to see it?

I sure hope that "bo-tox" Pelosi gets up on her soapbox and supports this faction of her followers.

It sure would be fun to have DU and the RAT nutcases go ballistic with this incredibly stupid proposal. The WTF's would ring through 150 million of our citizens, exposing the RAT cause for the sewer that it is.

>>"The lawmakers said in the letter that in a report released in June 2001, the US Commission on Civil Rights "found that the electoral process in Florida resulted in the denial of the right to vote for countless persons." <<

"That's an absolute lie."

What would be pushing them towards the truth? We know they are liars, but does the general public? NO !

All you need to know about the United States Commission on Civil Rights is three words: Mary Frances Berry.

I'm sorry but President Reagen died and he is the last one who was in DC that you could hear his brass when he walked. The group there today is going to just hand over America when they are told to.

....."This is a bipartisan proposal!"........

Not from what I read in the article. It says that the "commission was bi-partisan", but it doesn't identify any of the letter writers other than blacks and a hispanic.


Gotta be RATS. We've got some real stupid spineless RINO's but not this stupid!

>>The bipartisan commission, they stressed, determined "that the 'disenfranchisement of Florida's voters fell most harshly on the shoulders of black voters' and in poor counties." Both groups vote predominantly Democratic in US elections. <<
