Resolution to get us out of the
United Nations

Addressed To All Members of the U.S. Congress

WHEREAS, the United States was founded on the “self-evident” truths that rights are granted by God, that governments exist only to protect those rights, and that God-given rights cannot legitimately be canceled; and

WHEREAS, the United Nations refuses to recognize God, declares that rights exist by virtue of laws enacted by governments, and claims power for itself to suspend such laws; and

WHEREAS, the obvious philosophical differences in these two systems demonstrate that they are totally incompatible; and

WHEREAS, the basic foundation of the United Nations dramatically parallels that of all Communist states; and

WHEREAS, the UN is proceeding with plans to disarm our nation’s military and to disarm law-abiding citizens; and

WHEREAS, the UN has supplied funding for China’s population control program that enforces abortion, infanticide, and sterilization. The UN Human Rights Commission refuses to sanction China for these crimes against humanity; and

WHEREAS, the leading influences at the creation of the United Nations included secret Communist Alger Hiss who served as the Secretary-General of the founding conference, and more than a dozen other U.S. delegates later discovered to be Communists; and

WHEREAS, former UN Secretary-General U Thant confirmed the pro-Communist stance of the UN when he stated in 1970 that the “ideals of peace” held by the bloody-handed Soviet leader V.I. Lenin, “are in line with the aims of the UN Charter”; and

WHEREAS, former UN Secretary-General Boutros Boutros-Ghali bared the goal of the UN to become a world government dominating all nations when he proclaimed in 1991 that “the time of absolute and exclusive sovereignty, however, has passed”; and

WHEREAS, current UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan supported the view given by his predecessor when he stated in 1999 that “state sovereignty, in its most basic sense, is being redefined”; and

WHEREAS, the UN Charter itself demonstrates that the world organization is not a peace organization but will, according to its Article 42, take “action by air, sea, or land forces” against any nation deemed to be a threat to the UN’s definition of peace; and

WHEREAS, the UN has created dozens of conventions, departments, commissions and agencies and armed them with the capability to dictate every conceivable aspect of human conduct; and

WHEREAS, the UN is diligently proceeding to acquire its own judicial, tax-gathering, and military authority that will make it an unchallengeable force throughout the world;

BE IT THEREFORE RESOLVED that

Citizens for a Constitutional Republic

respectfully but firmly requests all Members of Congress to use appropriate constitutional authority in order to extricate our nation from the threat to freedom posed by the United Nations. We encourage House members to work toward this goal by co-sponsoring H.R. 1146, the American Sovereignty Restoration Act. We encourage members of the Senate to introduce a similar measure in their legislative branch.
