The Issue:

Thirty-four Senate Republicans is all that is keeping the United Nation’s “Law of the Sea Treaty” from being ratified and delivering a potential death blow to our nation’s sovereignty, security and prosperity!

Rejected by Ronald Reagan nearly 25 year ago, the treaty remains an albatross that is now only a breath away from an unnecessary law that would place the U.S. under the governing authority to an unaccountable international body—the UN!



After receiving great pressure from the White House the Senate Foreign Relations Committee approved the treaty by a margin of (17-4) on October 31, leading to speculation that a final ratification vote will take place very soon.

Grassfire.org Alliance has launched a nationwide petition strongly opposing the Law of the Sea Treaty, and has plans to deliver 100,000 citizen petitions to the Senate prior to the ratification vote. The petition states that the Law of the Sea Treaty is a dangerous threat to our nation’s sovereignty, places the U.S. under an international authority, subjects our nation to direct taxation by the United Nations, and may hamper our military.



The Petition States:

The “Law of the Sea Treaty” petition states:
As an American citizen, I am signing this petition opposing Senate ratification of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS or “Law of the Sea Treaty”). The Law of the Sea Treaty is a dangerous threat to our nation’s sovereignty. It places the United States under an international authority, subjects our nation to direct taxation by the United Nations and could hamper our military. The Law of the Sea Treaty is a bad idea that was rejected by Ronald Reagan and should be rejected by the U.S. Senate now. I urge you to vote against ratification of the Law of the Sea Treaty.

The internet is such agreat tool for activisim. I think we are really just seeing the beginiing of the politcal power of this tool for more personal involvment with our government.

They need to know we are watching them, that we are willing to act. That we will not sit by and wait until the morning news to find out what they have done. They need to know we will hold them accountable.

Did I mention I signed it?
