Senator Nelson's views on the LOST Treaty

[Jeanne DeSilver]

In case anyone doesn't know Senator Nelson's views, here's some propaganda he sent me regarding the LOST Treaty:

  Dear Ms. DeSilver:  Thank you for contacting me regarding the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea.  I appreciate your concerns about this treaty's impact on the sovereignty of the United States.    I believe our membership in the United Nations serves an important strategic purpose in advancing U.S. policies and interests.  The Convention on the Law of the Sea has received broad support and has been endorsed by the oil, gas, and shipping industries, as well as environmental groups.   The treaty is critical to supporting the national security of the United States and ensuring our access to waterways around the world.  The treaty also supports our work in preventing the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction through the Proliferation Security Initiative.  Thus far, over 150 countries have ratified this treaty; if the U.S. is not party to this agreement our country will not have a seat at the table during future negotiations.   If this treaty is considered by the full Senate, I will make sure to keep your views in mind.  If you have any additional concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me again.    Sincerely, Bill Nelson

 Hmmm, wouldn't that be a shame if we didn't "have a seat at the table during future negotiations"!  I guess it hasn't occurred to him that there are many of us who would like them to take their table and leave!

This is one treaty of about six he wants to get in before he gets out. All of them are bad for America and our citizens. None of them are needed unless you are part of the corrupt United Nations Agenda 21. He is an angry man and angry men displace their problems by blaming everyone else. Who is he a tool for? No true leader would ever do this to any nation they led. He wants the American people to feel bad on how they have treated the rest of the world. A world we saved with the blood and guts of brave young American men and women. Those treaties are meant to undo America and are there for no other purpose. 300 million people have to stand up and say that enough is enough because America is us...we the people. If WE do not do that we will have lost what God has bestowed upon us.

How many times have you been to a state of mind that you said to yourself I have had it. Then you turn and confront that SOB. Then you get in their face and tell them we can talk about this but anyway you choose to look at it, it stops now. You come to a point that something inside of you says I am simply tired of the lies and the bullshit. I am tired of the lies in the treaties and the bullshit of his arrogant Executive Orders. Our elected legislators only will pass a law that will effect our freedoms and liberties. It needs to be done without the reems of legal speak that blinds the truth of the real intended purpose.

Our freedoms and liberties are a powerful statement before the free world. It is a "trust" that has been past to us for our future if we live it right today. No one can take this from us but try they will. No honest law can be written against freedom if it is in the will of the people. No power on this earth large or small can take this from us unless WE allow it. Not allowing this is in everyone of us, I have lived and know that, many of you have as well. We are blessed to have a form of government that is of the people, by the people and for the people...We the people..we the people. Darkness will fall upon us for sure when good people do nothing. May God Bless America and those who gave their all by honoring them today.

Reagon refused to sign it and said it was not in our national interests.............it still isn't in our national interests and will cost us something like 900 billion at a time when we are dead broke and up to our eyeballs in debt thanks to Ovomit.

[Patricia M. McBride]

No treaty or a very much altered one that does not give away our soverienty.  This undoes what we fought a revolution to get ......... free from  outside domination.

What are the options to this treaty?

[Patricia M. McBride]

Did you consider writing and putting some of the info posted in Peggy's post about Reagan not being in favor of it because it was not in our national interest etc.?   I have considered writing again or calling their offices as this is so important and now this morning, I have just gotten an article saying the house is considering a bill to allow the UN to regulate the internet..................one wonders if they will try to tax that as well and put together another whole department to squash us there as well.

[Patricia M. McBride]

Nelson really has to go.  Thanks so much for posting Jeannie.  The man is totally nuts.  I don't care if environmental groups want this nor do I care much about all those companies (Obama probably bribed like he did the big pharma companies to garner support for Obamacare).  This is truly more of the same, and this only points to how important it is to have adequate numbers of folks write to this bumbling idiot.  Sadly, even if he is voted out, he will be in the lame duck session and vote in favor of this treaty................one wonders if the people can sue and get the treaty before the supreme court as unconstitutional?  I wish I could remember what country that happened in and the court overturned the treaty, because it went against the countries laws at the time passed.  Also agree that I would like the UN out of our country and us out of the UN.
