Senators hear how UN Law of the Sea Treaty will cripple national security

1) the treaty will hand control of seven-tenths of the Earth's surface to an unelected supranational buracracy, (2) that supranational bureaucracy would have the power to levy taxes on US interests, (3) those taxes would finance the supranational organization, removing any leverage the US would have against it, (4) the new organization would control the world's ocean research and exploration, (5) it would create a multinational court to render and enforce its judgments, (6) it would force the US to share billions of dollars' worth of underwater mapping and other exploration crucial for the US Navy to dominate and control the seas, (7) it would gravely harm US intelligence collection at sea, and (8) it would establish precedents for weakening US control of space, where such control is vital to the nation's economic and military well-being.
And yet, my senator, Barbara Boxer wrote to me and told me ratification would have no effect on the US whatsoever. I meant to post that letter, but hadn't got to it yet.
My other senator never wrote back on this topic at all.
Freepers:When this is signed, if the troops should ever ask you what country they are fighting for while President Bush is in the Office, the correct answer is the United Nations and the UN Charter.
Remember Republicans are in charge of the Congress, the Senate and the White House now.
What difference could Kerry make when we Republicans are trying to give the U.S. of A. to the U.N. in broad daylight right under our noses! Am I ticked off at the President and the promoters of a New World Government? You bet I am.
