Whereas, the United States spends as much as a
whopping 1.2 BILLION TAX DOLLARS in annual dues payments to the United Nations;
Whereas, we also pay $2.2 BILLION, or more than 28
percent, of the UN peacekeeping budget, and in addition, there are the
“voluntary payments" that finance UN programs and funds, like UNICEF, so
that in one recent year the U.S. paid the UN a record total of $7.7 BILLION;
Whereas, the U.S. pays 25 percent of all UN expenses
annually, more than all of the other permanent members of the Security Council
combined;
Whereas, this money is used to provide a platform for
nations that despise us and oppose our American values of democracy, justice,
free enterprise, privacy and private property rights;
Whereas, our tax dollars are paying for a rag-tag
collection of dictators and socialists to propagandize and work against our
security and economic interests;
Whereas, when we try to isolate the rogue
dictatorships that are developing nuclear weapons and posing threats to our
nation's and the world's security, we are often met with NO votes and multiple
veto threats, while the UN eagerly hosts a string of dictators who come to our
soil and attack our policies and insult us;
Whereas, when the United States rushed to help the
injured, starving and dying in the wake of the massive earthquake in Haiti, we
were accused by a UN official of trying to “occupy" the nation;
Whereas, the UN is worse than a wasteful, bloated
paper tiger -- it is a paper tiger intent on biting the hand that feeds it --
the United States of America;
I, therefore,
demand that Congress SLASH the billions of tax dollars we spend on the United
Nations!
