This is just in from Sen. Coburn's office. Obama has authored a bill, and it is now in the Senate, to give the UN .7% of our GNP to be used to feed hungry 3rd worlders, AND to use UN force to disarm you and me and all gun owners. No one in the media has brought this to the attention of the general sheeple out here.

Senator Coburn is blocking this bill.

Obama's bill S2433 would require the U.S. to initially direct .7 percent of our GNP into the United Nations coffers for distribution as they see fit, for "food" to third world nations. Under earlier agreements this would evolve into a national tax on the U.S. with the UN attempting to levy this on all first world nations.
The U.N. would have the power to increase this rate of taxation.
The U.S. would be required to surrender some of its sovereignty over foreign aid by putting it under UN control. The bill would force the U.S. to sign onto the U.N.'s Millennium Declaration, which would commit us not only to "banning small arms and light weapons" but also to adhere to the International Criminal Court Treaty and the Kyoto Protocol.

The link you provided gives no support to your post. It makes absolutely no reference to firearms whatsoever.

This appears to be the meat of the bill:

• (c) Components- The strategy required by subsection (a) should include the following components:

• • (1) Continued investment or involvement in existing United States initiatives related to international poverty reduction, such as the United States Leadership Against HIV/AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria Act of 2003 (22 U.S.C. 7601 et seq.), the Millennium Challenge Act of 2003 (22 U.S.C. 7701 et seq.), and trade preference programs for developing countries, such as the African Growth and Opportunity Act (19 U.S.C. 3701 et seq.).

• • (2) Improving the effectiveness of development assistance and making available additional overall United States assistance levels as appropriate.

• • (3) Enhancing and expanding debt relief as appropriate.

• • (4) Leveraging United States trade policy where possible to enhance economic development prospects for developing countries.

• • (5) Coordinating efforts and working in cooperation with developed and developing countries, international organizations, and international financial institutions.

• • (6) Mobilizing and leveraging the participation of businesses, United States and international nongovernmental organizations, civil society, and public-private partnerships.

• • (7) Coordinating the goal of poverty reduction with other development goals, such as combating the spread of preventable diseases such as HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria, increasing access to potable water and basic sanitation, reducing hunger and malnutrition, and improving access to and quality of education at all levels regardless of gender.

• • (8) Integrating principles of sustainable development and entrepreneurship into policies and programs.
    
    

It says absolutely nothing about directing any percent of US GDP toward the United Nations.

Gosh, people, can we look at the links before we post things?

DUDE! Is this the beginning of the next Civil War?

[justsayno]

So if our constitution states the right to bear arms.. and a senator introduces a bill, to disarm us.. where are the lawers to sue for treason? would this be the correct charge.?. It is our constitutional right.. And the UN has been trying this for some time from what I remember, that when a country has civil war, ect.. they want to be world peace and be able to step in and occupy.. Without getting creamed..
