The United Nations is about as anti-American as they come. For the better part of the last ten year, UN bureaucrats have dedicated themselves to trying to undermine our constitutional system, our laws, and our values.
Barack Obama was complicit in this. Whenever Congress refused to pass his Leftist agenda, he turned to the United Nations to impose it on the American people.
Congress wouldn't pass gun control so Obama unconstitutionally signed onto the UN Arms Trade Treaty. Congress wouldn't pass climate change legislation, so Obama unconstitutionally signed onto the Paris Climate Agreement. Congress wouldn't approve the Iranian nuclear treaty, so Obama signed it without submitting it to Congress for ratification.
You get the idea...
Enter Donald Trump. Over the last 19 months, Trump has committed to tearing down all of Barack Obama's unconstitutionally signed UN treaties. He withdrew from the Iran deal, stopped sending representatives to the UN Arms Trade Treaty conference, and pulled out of the UN Climate Treaty.
The best part? Trump isn't done.
In just the last 24 hours, President Trump has cut another 220 million from the United Nations! Most of that was destined to go to the Palestinian government. The remaining 20 million was going to the anti-American UN Human Rights Council.
Never in American history has a President cut so much from the UN in a single day!
Democrats are absolutely furious and are scrambling to undo President Trump's cuts and restore the funding.
You CANNOT let them do that!
As you know, Congress is in the middle of appropriations season. This is when the House and Senate must pass a package of spending bills to keep the government running after the fiscal year ends on Sept. 30.
Every spending bill must be passed before them. These bills will dictate to the Trump administration how to allocate taxpayer funds.
One of these bills is called the Department of State, Foreign Operations, and Related Programs Appropriations Act (that's a mouthful). Among other things, this one bill handles the foreign aid budget.
Right now, Democrats and moderate Republicans are weaponizing this spending bill to block Pres. Trump from cutting the UN's budget!
Dianne Feinstein and four other Democrat Senators on the Appropriations Committee are demanding that the funding be restored. And they have Republican help...
Last year, they launched a similar fight to get funding restored to the UN's Green Climate Fund. Last summer, President Trump fully withdrew from the UN's climate treaty and pulled all of the funding that Obama had promised.
It didn't look like the Democrats would succeed. But at the last minute, Republicans Lindsey Graham (SC), Susan Collins (ME), and Lamar Alexander (TN) joined the left and voted to restore the funding. Lisa Murkowski (AK) is also on the list of RINOs eager to restore the UN's funding.
Democrats are now trying to recreate the alliance but this time, they only need ONE Republican on the committee to flip. Senator Patrick Leahy (VT) is the ranking member on the committee and he is promising to block everything until the funding is restored.
Do you know why President Trump cut this aid to Palestine? 49.4% of all international aid to Palestine goes to terrorist programs. Mostly, this funding is used to pay the families of imprisoned or killed terrorists. We are talking about hundreds of millions of dol lars. Why on earth should American taxpayers help prop this up?
Why on earth would Republicans help them restore this?
I have prayed that eventually, we would get a President willing to pull the plug on the UN's anti-American programs. That day has arrived.
Like clockwork, however, Republicans are coming out of the woodwork to reverse President Trump's decision. These are Republicans who, every year, vote to give the United Nations hundreds of millions. The Democrats just need one Senator on this committee to flip and they have four RINOs to choose from.
Their only hope is that you and millions of other Conservatives aren't paying attention. They are counting on no one paying attention to what they do in these committees and subcommittees and that by the time you figure it out, it will be too late to stop them.
But it's not too late. The legislation still has not cleared any subcommittee or committee yet and hasn't reached the floor.
We know their plan. The Left is promising to reverse course and re-approve all of the UN funding that Trump cut and there are more than enough Republicans willing to help them.
Only you can stop this. Only you can get loud right now and demand that Congress block this betrayal!
I've waited my whole life for a President to have the guts to defund the United Nations. Now that it has happened, the Globalists in Congress are working to undo everything he's accomplished.
Please, do not let them do this!
Seize the moment!
