Congressional Pushback on UN

BREAKING: Legislation Launched to SHUT DOWN the UN’s Agenda, Posted on April 5, 2015 Written by conservativetribune.com

Sen­a­tor Jim Inhofe added an amend­ment to the United Nations Arms Trade Treaty that would poten­tially shut down parts of the United Nations if the treaty were to pass. Prior to Inhofe’s amend­ment, Sen­a­tor Mike Crapo added an amend­ment to push back Obama’s Depart­ment of Jus­tice and their Oper­a­tion Choke Point.

Oper­a­tion Choke Point was an over­reach of Attor­ney Gen­eral Eric Holder to strong-arm busi­nesses he doesn’t like (like gun man­u­fac­tur­ers and deal­ers) by putting pres­sure on banks to not do busi­ness with them (H/T Eagle Ris­ing).

Inhofe was also able to add an amend­ment to shut down the United Nations Arms Trade Treaty at a vote of 59 to 41. Inofe’s amend­ment was writ­ten so that if the U.N. passes the Arms Trade Treaty, then Con­gress can stop all fund­ing to any part of the U.N. that would sup­port the enforce­ment and imple­men­ta­tion of the treaty.

Inhofe made this state­ment about the treaty: “The Pres­i­dent should remove the United States’ as a sig­na­tory nation on an ambigu­ous treaty, which does noth­ing to guar­an­tee the pro­tec­tion of per­sonal gun own­er­ship and could poten­tially inter­fere with the United States’ abil­ity to aid allies.”

Leg­isla­tive coun­sel Michael Ham­mond added to Free­dom Out­post: “This amend­ment would clearly defund the United Nations Arms Trade Treaty Sec­re­tariat or any inter­na­tional within the UN or out­side the UN, which has been deemed to have been cre­ated to sup­port the imple­men­ta­tion of the ATT.”

The Sen­ate has already passed a res­o­lu­tion oppos­ing the treaty. This res­o­lu­tion informs the pres­i­dent that the Sen­ate will not rat­ify it.

It is unbe­liev­able to see the lengths that Obama has gone to cir­cum­vent two-thirds of our gov­ern­ment to for­ward his own seem­ingly social­ist agenda. It is refresh­ing to see sen­a­tors tak­ing a stand against Obama and remind­ing him that he can­not dic­tate laws and treaties to the Amer­i­can people.

Please share this arti­cle on Face­book and Twit­ter if you agree that Obama and the U.N. need to be stopped and that our right to bear arms must be protected.

  The UN continually threatens US sovereignty.  We need to defund, quit and move the UN out of the US.  This is a Marxist, rogue, corrupt organization.
