Senator Vitter Leads Assault on UN’s Sea Treaty

Senator Vitter (R-LA) has been brilliant in demonstrating that Bush Administration officials, in collusion with liberal Senators, are trying to trick the Senate into quickly ratifying a very dangerous treaty for American sovereignty. FSM Contributing Editor Cliff Kincaid has the frightening details.

The media have been pummeling conservative Republican Senator David Vitter of Louisiana for apologizing for sexual indiscretions. But America should be grateful he stayed in the Senate and did not resign in the wake of the media assault. The senator demonstrated on Thursday, during a hearing into the U.N.’s Law of the Sea Treaty, that he is going to continue to do the job he was elected to do. Vitter’s performance was so effective that he left State and Defense Department officials either speechless or caught up in embarrassing contradictions about the impact of this international agreement on America’s security and sovereignty. It should now be perfectly obvious that Bush Administration officials, in collusion with liberal Senators, are trying to bamboozle the Senate into quickly ratifying a very dangerous pact.

One area of concern is how other nations and international lawyers could use the treaty against the U.S. in a back-door effort to implement the (unratified) global warming treaty, with the result being higher gas prices for the American people and perhaps even energy rationing. The Law of the Sea treaty creates a tribunal and various bodies, including dispute resolution or arbitral panels, to resolve conflicts which may arise. Major parts of the treaty mandate international regulation of U.S. economic and industrial activities on land. Greenhouse gases, for example, could be viewed under the terms of the treaty as contributing to pollution of the oceans.

Negroponte Caught in Falsehood

Deputy Secretary of State John Negroponte told the Senate committee that the U.N. body established by the treaty has “no jurisdiction over marine pollution disputes involving land-based sources.â€

Vitter deserves some thank you emails for this fight........it is THAT IMPORTANT.

WE NEED TO JUMP ON THIS CALL ALL YOUR SENATORS AND TELL THEM IT'S A NO VOTE ON THIS SEA TREATY, PLEASE EVERYONE INCLUDE THIS WITH YOUR CALLS.

Thank You, Senator Vitter. Again, you're coming through for America!

And what happened to Dick Lugar? Didn't he used to be one of the good guys a long time ago?

Lugar has been bought...signed, sealed and delivered by the OBLs. He was a co-sponsor with Durbin of the DREAM Act. And he also was an amnesty supporter during the Grand Compromise.

I know all that. I meant "way back when."

Possibly when Moby Dick was a minnow, however, I can't prove that because I wasn't around at that time.

:P

I emailed him already, tomorrow I'm going to call all his offices.
