Finally, someone is looking out for the interest of the American people! WE have funded this socialist group of dictators far too long. The UN and it's agenda is identical to that of the socialist liberal democrats here in the US!
Get us out of the UN, now, not later!

I'm fairly surprised that this was a unanimous vote -- were there a lot of RAT abstentions?

Aren't we already paying them in the form of taxes anyway?

In 2004 a group of G8 nations agreed to explore a UN tax on airline tickets, which also could raise billions every year.Inter-country travel is one thing; intra-country travel: never!
(speaking of planes: they flew into the wrong buildings on 9/11)

Does this have anything (or everything for that matter) to do with yesterdays vote on withholding dues?

I'm fairly surprised that this was a unanimous vote -- were there a lot of RAT abstentions? It wasn't unanimous - it was a voice vote. Now I can't nail my RINO representative for voiting against it because I can't prove he did.

Weve seen what people power can do! Hmmmm maybe we should give the UN a mass freeping...im sure many would join. Call up Protest Warrior...all the conservative groups and have a good ol fasioned protest! Conservative youth would come by hundreds (thousands depending on the scale)
To: Spiff
They didn't call a roll call vote because the Dems didnt want to go on record as being against it, and the GOP didn't want to be seen going on record as for it.
To: TBarnett34
I'm also surprised at the unanimity. Is this a positive statement about an important common area of agreement between right and left, or is it the usual...democrats afraid to be seen for who they really are. I'll bet there were lots of dems who believe in such a tax, but were afraid to go on the record.

To: Spiff
It wasn't unanimous - it was a voice vote. Now I can't nail my RINO representative for voiting against it because I can't prove he did. So voice votes are always recorded as unanimous? Or is this paper trying to give RATs and RINOs credit for something they most likely voted against (or pretended to sleep through)?

Protest Warrior has done some good work. I think that they could do some more good in this fight.
I was speaking more about our "unable to lead" Republican Senators we have in office.

What a great idea.
But, alas, it's a window dressing. A shot, as it were, across the bow of the UN.
Can you imagine the Senate on this?

I guess I dont follow your illogic. This was in the House?!?
To: MikeinIraq
I think it was in the House, yeah. I'm just trying to figure out how on earth, if this was a voice vote, the result was recorded as 'unanimous' unless this newspaper is just trying to disguise obvious RAT dissent.
There's some real nutcase socialists in the House -- I'd have a really hard time believing that the vote was unanimous unless the entire hard-left socialist contingent abstained from the voice vote...
