Please, do NOT hastily support this treaty, which takes away so much American sovereignty...and paves the way for the United Nations to tax Americans. Research the treaty, educate yourselves then contact Senator Lugar and your Senators.

There must be some reasons why we haven't signed on in the past 8 years.

In your opinion, what are the downsides of the treaty?

I've already sent off my opposition to my two Republican Senators. I can;t for the life of me imagine why this is getting any Republican support at all. Senator Lugar is dead wrong on this one and Ronald Reagan had it right.

And actually, since President Reagan gave this the treaty the heave-ho, it was modified, but it's still a great big steaming pile of dung. It puts restrictions, limitations and taxes on the American people for no benefit to anyone but the UN and turd-world countries that would absolutely LOVE some socialist income redistribution. Don't get me wrong,I'm not saying not to help needy countries. But to have the UN tell us that we WIL help and how much we are going to give them? No Sir.

Now why in the world would we ratify this Bravo Sierra?
