There are four treaties standing in the wings that would change the final word on American laws from the Constitution of the U.S. to governing bodies from the U.N. picked by such wonderful people as Russia, China, and Cuba (those great champions of human rights). According to Power Line Blog by way of a National Review article not available online:
"In the November 17 issue of the National Review (not available online to my knowledge), John Fonte of the Hudson Institute identifies four "transnational power grabs" that Obama is likely to push for They are: the Law of the Sea Treaty, the Rights of the Child Treaty, the Convention for the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW), and the International Criminal Court. Agreement by the U.S. to these arrangements would make us more popular with foreigners, but only at a cost to our national security, our right of self-governance, and our rights under the Constitution."
Passing these agreements would definitely make us more popular around the world, but we would lose our national sovereignty in the process. America is a force for good in the world--we have helped end genocide in many places, fought for freedom in other countries, provided humanitarian aid, and done many other positive things. We are able to do these things because we are a free people. Our national sovereignty is important. Please read the article on Power Line and make a decision to write your congressman or congresswoman when these items come up for a vote. Pay attention, because they may be voted on when congress thinks you are not looking!
