TEA Party grows up!


The TEA Party grows up!  A cool little article about the TEA Parties in the 11th District.

http://www.citizen-times.com/article/20120526/NEWS/305260031/Tea-parties-work-to-influence-runoff

This is a really great article. It shows our groups’ growing cooperation and willingness to accomplish common goals.  The reporter’s coverage is fair and informative.  I’m happy we have a journalist like Jon Ostendorf in our district.

Legislative Action Alert: Law of the Sea Treaty is not good for the U.S.


It seems there are U.S. Officials who want to act disloyal with harmful effects to the United States and Americans. With the unfortunate condition of individuals in the U.S. government, who choose to break their oath to the U.S. Constitution and be anti-America seeking some kind of global government, surely as Congress is in session Americans have to worry about bad actions being taken against them and the Nation by their own Congressmen and Presidential Administration. It is today, May 23, 2012 that Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta and the Navy Admiral Chief spoke before the Senate on Foreign Relations Committee to suggest the Senate ratify an international Treaty — the Law of the Sea Treaty (LOST) (also called the Law of the Sea Convention — called by those who want you to think its just a friendly little convention rather than one of those binding, entangling, U.S. infringing Treaties).

Here are some of the affronted facial promotions for LOST that they want conveyed to you to make you think that it is a good thing just a Treaty to get along with the “international community”.

— LOST is an opportunity (that if not taken now will be well…lost) to “get in on the deal” where 162 other Nations are already LOST members and if not then these 162 other Nations will just go ahead with plans about divvying up the oceans resources

—-LOST will give the U.S. a seat at the table for influence and show the U.S. as a responsible player that makes the U.S. an example of good conduct when then the U.S. calls other foreign Nations to requirements about abiding international laws and obligations

—- LOST provides navigational Rights to provide better National Security — this being the NAVY chief’s argument — that the UN will “allow” the US Navy to police the world against things like drug trafficking, arms dealing, nuclear proliferation.

—- LOST is a plus for commercial, business interests of getting resources from the ocean — Lockheed Martin was sited as a company that wants LOST — Lockheed Martin is a CFR global friendly company that sees a future of “global security” rather than just U.S. security

What Backers of the Treaty won’t tell you about is the detailed wording in the Treaty that has the U.S. just acceding and giving up its current ownership wealth of its vast resources of 200 miles from shoreline (including inland waterways) and having all such resources coming under UN control and authority.
