Support #Amexit to Get US Out! of the UN
YES!!
Mike Rogers just made my good list
Well, there is good news occasionally.
Because Obama will probably be the next Secretary-General of the UN.
“the United States makes up almost a quarter of the U.N.’s annual budget, the U.N”
Why? There is close to 200 members. We should be paying about 1/20th of the annual budget...start there.
US out of the UN
UN out of the US
So here’s the downside of that:
The US is currently one of the permanent members of the Security Council, with veto power. If we exit the UN, we lose that element of control, which means a couple of things:
First, we hang Israel out to dry. The US is generally the only voice in the UN supporting them, and frequently has to exercise its veto to override UN resolutions condemning or otherwise attacking Israel.
Second, we open ourselves up to all kinds of hassle. If we’re not participating, and not able to block other nations from imposing their petty vendettas against us, any two-bit tinhorn dictatorship can impose UN sanctions on the US. It’s easy to dismiss such concern, given the general ineffectiveness of the UN, but the US depends on a lot of the world to handle the production and service of its economy, and buy its debt. It would be very easy for our “partners” to use UN influence to restructure their relationships with us to be more favorable to their side, and we’d have little to no recourse.
I’m all for pushing the UN offshore, and for scaling back our financial support of an organization that has little interest in favoring our interests, but we should not relinquish our own influence.
Rogers of Alabama has been a Yes vote on all the assorted trades deals during his tenure including TPP. He wasn’t worried about US sovereignty during all those votes.
I don’t know if he has serious Democrat opposition, but this bill will go nowhere and looks like something to try and score a few phony sovereignty points, sort of like Rove and W throwing out a constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage in February of 2004, that had no chance of passage, as a sop to conservatives. Now what was going on in 2004?
Finally someone with some balls in Congress.
YES, YES, and Oh Hell YEAH!
Do it!
These guys should arrange a meeting with Trump so that it gets on his “First 100 Days” hit list of things to do. ;-)
It won't go anywhere this time around, but it's still a good idea.
This has to happen if America is going to remain a sovereign nation like the Native American nations are.
Mike Rogers will forever have my full support for introducing this Bill.
First step should be to kick the UN out of the US.
No more enjoying the use of prime New York real estate courtesy of the US taxpayers. Let them go have their meetings in some other country.
YES!!! This is so so awesome.
This is going to cause a few UN pukes to have a pantload.
