The UN is a communist run organization. We don’t want these dirt bags on American soil. This bill also indends to elminate 2nd ammendment rights – DON’T GO THERE.

wake up people its time for a revolution in this country. the US goverment is so politically corrupt it’s pathetic. i know one thing i am not a highly educated man but i do have some damn common sense, unlike our greedy for oneself elected officials and yes we elect them it’s just to bad they change into greedy blood sucking leaches after they take their office. Great example is the bailouts to all the buttholes that actually put us in this situation, one thing for sure is this will never change until we get rid of the federal reserve that is a private entity owned by the richest 12 people in the world , Kennedy had it right , thats why he is dead, wake up, our country is being sold down the tubes and there is only one thing we can do about it and believe me you liberals haven’t a clue what my last statement means , i just hope i live long enough to help overthrow this sadistic regime we call the United States Goverment and start putting corrupt politicians in JAIL for breaking the laws and betraying the people of the U.S. perfect example right here and now is the Govenor of Illinois , IF CONVICTED DOES HE DO JAIL TIME ? How About Congress and The Senate , do you think if they were on the social security sytsem it would be in the mess it’s in , would they be giving it to illegal immigrants that have not put a dime into it, All of the above the answer is NO, Face it the UNITED STATES GOVERMENT DOESN’T GIVE A RATS ASS ABOUT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, Their to busy taking poor peoples money from a rich country ie the U.S and giving it to Rich PEOPLE in poor countries ,

No to bill S2433. I have a feeling that in the next 4 years we will be one of the countries that will be asking for aid from the UN. We’re al
ready starting to feel like a third world country.

This is simply a Bill to destroy U.S. sovereignty & install One World Government. We should be getting OUT of the UN, not subjugating ourselves to them by handing them our sovereignty along with our money. We know how the UN fat-cats partied on caviar & champaign as the genocide continued in Darfur! Poverty is better addressed thru private concerns such as World Vision… & on a VOLUNTARY basis thru charitable donations. Once a government agency is put in charge, the corruption begins… & good money is thrown after bad. We have NO obligation to create wealth in poor nations… such endeavors have served only to enrich the mightiest few while the populace suffers.

Ike, you start by saying no money will be spent, then you admit to 27 billion.

Not spent for reparations for Blacks, not spent to rebuild ghettos, not spent here for any reason.

“Just when I thought this nation couldn’t be dumbed down any more…”

Well, you for one could be a little better at math… 27 billion divided by 300 million Americans is not $27! Here’s a clue, it’s at least a million dollars each because, I’m fairly sure, 27 billion is bigger than 300 million.

…and if you give me my share directly, I promise I will hop on a plane and adopt 10 families, personally (as long as they like me—I will not adopt haters)*.

In any case, making pointless ‘feel good’ bills costs money. The people in Washington (duh, I think you smart people call them legislators) are not volunteers, so yes, this nonsense does cost money.

Again, you admit to 27 billion (with a ‘b’) dollars already being spent, so, I’m not sure where you get off calling anyone dumb. Being suspicious of government is never dumb.

I doesn’t matter that the bill is not the last step in actually spending the money. The bill that says the government can tap your phone without a warrant doesn’t actually target you in particular by listing your name and phone number on the bill, but you’re against that aren’t you? Now who’s wearing the tin foil hat?

As if the government doesn’t have better things to do than to listen your conversations. What’s that? Oh, it’s the principle of the matter? I’d like to agree with you brother, except:

“(because it doesn’t mandate spending a dime and it makes us feel good)”

See, that’s the problem, it doesn’t make me feel good at all. It scares me. So, if you support me in not threatening to take my money, I’ll support you in keeping your phone line, private.

I said it once, I’ll say it a million times, if you believe in foreign aid, use your money and go over there.

*Don’t force me to be a Christian, don’t force me to turn the other cheek and support people who hate me instead of Bush or the CEO’s of large corporations or their own leaders who live in luxury while the people starve. You keep talking about poor as if being in The States means I’m somehow immune from being poor. You’re not debating with the upper class here—we’re your neighbors—are you sure you want to break us? Because if you do, the only people left to help you are the upper class and something tells me you two don’t get along.

“he is a right wing hack funded by…”

Yes, we know both sides are forcing globalism on us. Clinton signed NAFTA.

“He targets the tinfoil hat crowd.”

You seem to know a lot about that crowd. I saw a movie where it took one to know one.

You say God Bless America…..you ask our Maker to bless us, and His(God’s) response is…..“what you do unto the least of these, you do unto me”. If you are going to call our God to bless us, then perhaps you should follow the instructions He has given us, “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.”

I’ve read the actual proposed legislation and this article is an extreme spin of what the actual bill says.

Read it for yourself.

http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/z?c110:s2433:

The article below focuses on one paragraph and one sentence in particular:

(a) Strategy- The President, acting through the Secretary of State, and in consultation with the heads of other appropriate departments and agencies of the United States Government, international organizations, international financial institutions, the governments of developing and developed countries, United States and international nongovernmental organizations, civil society organizations, and other appropriate entities, shall develop and implement a comprehensive strategy to further the United States foreign policy objective of promoting the reduction of global poverty, the elimination of extreme global poverty, and the achievement of the Millennium Development Goal of reducing by one-half the proportion of people worldwide, between 1990 and 2015, who live on less than $1 per day.

Somehow they extrapolate that sentence to mean the the U.S. would somehow be mandated to follow everything in the Millennium Development Goals. Read the bill. It says NOTHING like that. The only thing it mentions is that the US would try to meet that one goal of helping global poverty. The bill does not say how the US will do this and it certainly does not place any tax or other mandate on the Gov’t. That would be unconstitutional as Senator Obama knows as he was a Constitutional Lawyer at Univ of Chicago Law School for ten years. In fact it says, as you can see above, “The President shall shall develop and implement a comprehensive strategy……”, this means the President has DISCRETION on how he will develop and implement such a strategy. There is NOTHING is this bill that suggest and certainly nothing that mandates how this gets done.

dogman here. Rburciar – please explain to me why I am responsible for the citizens in New Orleans?

I am tired of giving my money for others to have. I work hard for my money and I want to keep it here in the United States, YOU DO NOT DESERVE TO RECEIVE ANYTHING, unless you contribute. WE cannot take care of the world, who doesn’t want to take care of themselves, period. We need to take care of our country before we go outside and spend our resources on others. The congress needs to go get a real job of earning their money instead of taking our money and living better then us. They don’t care, it is our money they are spending, not theirs………..God Bless America…….

It is very disappointing to Heaven’s Miraculous Angelic Giving Inspirational Child, Inc., that our government spends 42 million dollars on letters about a tax refund, billions in Iraq, and yet the G.I.V.E. Act struggles for acceptance.

Heaven’s Miraculous Angelic Giving Inspirational Child, Inc. would thrive in a country that embraces the G.I.V.E. Act.

Service-Learning has immeasurable value!!

Check out “The U.T.O.P.I.A. Project” and discover the power of Service-Learning for yourself.

Pay close attention to the U.T.O.P.I.A. System and please listen to the beginning message.

http://www.heavensmagic.org

If they don’t pass the G.I.V.E. Act, “We the People” will have to GIVE more of our tax money for prisons, GIVE more of our tax money for drug and alcohol abuse, GIVE more of our tax money for teenage pregnancy, and GIVE more of our tax money for welfare.

The G.I.V.E. Act and a proactive approach seems so much more logical, supportive, and responsible.

A vote for Service-Learning and support for Service-Learning will enrich this country, its youth, and its educators. It will also keep more money in your wallet in the long run.

When you realize how valuable Service-Learning is, please call your representatives and persuade them to pass the G.I.V.E. Act.

God Bless all who support the G.I.V.E. Act!

Sincerely,

Don’t let the UN controll us when they cannot wipe their own butts. They will put us on the line for all their mistakes. Let the UN set up in France, they don’t appreciate a thing we do anyway.
We need to care for our own country before we can care for anyone else! What happened after Katrina? Looks like Obama will sell us out as Congress has in the past. This country is truelly falling apart.

Aye Aye, but I’m sorry, but we have some bigger problems going on in U.S that should be dealt with first. I doubt we can afford or take up the responsiblity of feeding all the hungry, maybe Bill Gates. I just want some good health care and to be able to afford my groceries.

By helping the poorest contribute to our global society, we gain the benefit of a productive member of society and loose the liability of one that is not.

Where does government get the power to forcibly take the people’s money to implement such a program? Private citizens could raise enough funds to do this themselves. Why don’t we organize privately and solve this problem rather than using economic force? This is just another way to make those in government richer without actually solving the problem of extreme poverty in developing nations. Trust me, I’ve seen in a million times.

Hey Folks —

Guess what ?? we CAN"T all get along no matter how much money ya throw at it — personally I don’t give a rat’s * about any kinda Globalism — they’re all going to be here illegally anyway — 40 years & 40 Trillion dollars to make the world safe for Marxism — whatta deal — thank you “emoto-crats” …

First tow the U.N. out past the limit and let it sink — I get sick of the BS from the MSM about people hurting in this country — maybe they need to steal more big screen TV’s to keep from hurting, eh ?? or just bail ‘em out or why don’t the producers invite the homeless to their house for dinner … I imagine the founding fathers are rolling over … all that’s happening is just like the Woodrow Wilson days … next the brown shirts, will be a hate crime to use a word that is not PC, gulags for all the dissenters … why is it my responsibility to worry why some one lives on a dollar a day ??? betcha they are just as happy as they don’t know the difference, but they ain’t got the right tennis shoes …

75 years to rid the world of communism & we’re going to do it better — Right ??

cheers y’all

the liberals just won’t get it until THEY are in charge…as select few…and America is sold out…

God help us….seriously, the end of the United States of America is close at hand. So many Americans are apathetic…they don’t even know or CARE…

the more the government “helps” you the more they OWN you…

Our government should first delete completely the poverty in the USA to see if it will work. Then help the other countries out. Make sure the leaders of countries do not hoard the money like Iraq 450M in American bills sealed in buildings with the people living in poverty. Right now they are putting my grandkids and maybe their kids in debt!

We have far to many people in our own country that we should help before we continue to send Billions to countries that don’t even like us. Wake up people!!

Another Congressional giveaway-Our own country is in serious disarray and they worry about everybody but the one’s paying the bill.Maybe they should buck up out of thier own funds and see how they react.I for one am getting fed up with the U.S.Gov.Take care of our own!!Stop the giveaways and tend to the business at home-Don’t like it-move to another country and do your charity work there on your own dime!!!!!!!!

And the solution is
545 PEOPLE

By Charlie Reese

Politicians are the only people in the world who create problems and then campaign against them.
Have you ever wondered why, if both the Democrats and the Republicans are against deficits, WHY do we have deficits?

Have you ever wondered why, if all the politicians are against high taxes, WHY do we have high taxes?

You and I don’t propose a federal budget. The President does.
You and I don’t have the Constitutional authority to vote on appropriations. The House of Representatives does.
You and I don’t write the tax code, Congress does.
You and I don’t set fiscal policy, Congress does.
You and I don’t control monetary policy, the Federal Reserve Bank does.

One hundred senators, 435 congressmen, one president, and nine Supreme Court justices 545 human beings out of the 300 million are directly, legally, morally, and individually responsible for the domestic problems that plague this country.

I excluded the members of the Federal Reserve Board because that problem was created by the Congress. In 1913, Congress delegated its Constitutional duty to provide a sound currency to a federally chartered, but private, central bank.

I excluded all the special interests and lobbyists for a sound reason.
They have no legal authority. They have no ability to coerce a senator, a congressman, or a president to do one cotton-picking thing. I don’t care if they offer a politician $1 million dollars in cash. The politician has the power to accept or reject it. No matter what the lobbyist promises, it is the legislator’s responsibility to determine how he votes.

Those 545 human beings spend much of their energy convincing you that what they did is not their fault. They cooperate in this common con regardless of party.

What separates a politician from a normal human being is an excessive amount of gall. No normal human being would have the gall of a Speaker, who stood up and criticized the President for creating deficits.
The President can only propose a budget. He cannot force the Congress to accept it.

The Constitution, which is the supreme law of the land, gives sole responsibility to the House of Representatives for originating and approving appropriations and taxes.
Who is the speaker of the House? She is the leader of the majority party. She and fellow House members, not the President, can approve any budget they want. If the President vetoes it, they can pass it over his veto if they agree to.

It seems inconceivable to me that a nation of 300 million can not replace 545 people who stand convicted — by present facts — of incompetence and irresponsibility. I can’t think of a single domestic problem that is not traceable directly to those 545 people.
When you fully grasp the plain truth that 545 people exercise the power of the federal government, then it must follow that what exists is what they want to exist.

If the tax code is unfair, it’s because they want it unfair.
If the budget is in the red, it’s because they want it in the red.
If the Army & Marines are in IRAQ, it’s because they want them in IRAQ.
If they do not receive social security but are on an elite retirement plan not available to the people, it’s because they want it that way.
If we have open borders, it is because they want open borders.
There are no unsolvable government problems.

Do not let these 545 people shift the blame to bureaucrats, whom they hire and whose jobs they can abolish; to lobbyists, whose gifts and advice they can reject; to regulators, to whom they give the power to regulate and from whom they can take this power. Above all, do not let them con you into the belief that there exists disembodied mystical forces like ‘the economy,’ ‘inflation,’ or ‘politics’ that prevent them from doing what they take an oath to do.

Those 545 people and they alone, are responsible.
They and they alone, have the power.
They and they alone, should be held accountable by the people who are their bosses provided the voters have the gumption to manage their own employees.

We should vote all of them out of office and clean up their mess!!

Charlie Reese is a former columnist of the Orlando Sentinel Newspaper.
What you do with this article now that you have read it is up to you, though you appear to have several choices.

Look what happen to our President while he was in Iraq saying his fair well to their President
A journalist threw his shoes at the head of our President someone said he was showing his freedom of speech
My question is his body guards they should have been at his side with there guns drown when the second shoe was thrown then BANG! BANG! Maybe they are Democrats!

Has a poor country ever been saved with handouts? You spend $1 billion on food for a country for a month and does that add up to any progress whatsoever? No, because they’ll be hungry next month too. I hate to be cliche, but give a man a fish he’ll eat for a day, teach him to fish and he’ll eat for life.

Do we ever learn our lesson? We’ve spent $3 trillion on foreign aid so far and what has it done? It’s made people hungrier because the people we used to feed had kids. The rest of the world still hates us.

And look into the Millenium Development Goal, because that has a whole other set of goals which aren’t mentioned, including the elusive “international tax on U.S. citizens” where we pay a tax to the UN.

Has anyone figured out that the Congress and those in the Washington beltway think we have no comprehension when it comes to taking care of our country? I don’t know about you, but it is getting very scary watching what is happening to our country. Comrades, we are doomed!

This Bill is terrible for the US. Like many others have said, we give the most money to foreign nations that have disasters but we can hardly save our own people during a crisis here. Why is that? We definately do not need the UN to oversee our Military. We are becoming a weak nation with all this political correctness crap. We can’t think for ourselves without some one being offended. We have no one to stand up and get this country back to where it was 20 or 30 years ago. We’ve given up and sent or sold most American made products overseas to countries with cheap labor resulting in lost jobs and homlessness. We need to remember what America used to be and get her back. take care of our own.

If all those in Congress give to charity like our VP elect did last year we would have a world of starving and unclothed needy.

Its just like the tarp bill bailout they will say a million to pass it and then spend billions after its passed and hope no one notices

You’re use of the term “comrade” makes me ill :(

I voted “nay” on this one.

I think many comments on this page are intelligent and valid. Throwing money at a problem has never solved the problem. Do they want to throw away our money to make our nation a third world country? Is it a plan to destroy America and bring down our status as a super power? This bill should not be passed for the sake of our country and it’s people. We need to solve our deficit and have money to spare. I agree with one comment above to move the UN to another country and let them support the UN. Why do we support an organization that is against what America stands for? This country is where the politicians want it to be, plain and simple. They control this country and create the problems. I have said for years we need to get rid of them all and start over. We need business men in office that will run the country like a business. There are too many promises made that take our money just to get members of our government elected. We pay for too many things that are wrong in our country and it is not right to take more money from people who are already paying half of what they make to the goverment to send overseas. American once was a place where hard work would bring wealth but now it is taxed in every way possible to keep us down. Why do we have to be the only ones to take care of the world? We do enough already. I have written my senators and the whitehouse on my disagreement to this bill and encouraged everyone I know to do the same.

What are YOU PEOPLE SMOKING…. I can’t believe what you morons are talking about here… I know that you are probably products of our awful public (dumbing down) education system – but still… Can’t you even try to think? … and look at REAL FACTS?… when I see bozo’s like "mcgovernsi46 state…. “We are far behind most other developed countries in helping other less advantaged people around” ?? What the heck ? The FACTS are the the United States ALREADY provides more aid (as a % of GNP) to poor countries than any other country on the planet? It a fact – read it ! And if anybody thinks THIS congress can do ANYTHING for only a million dollars – well then…. I know you went to a public school, ad you are dummer that a rock !!
