This is WONDERFUL...a real blessing in disguise. The UN is determined to steal our land, over-ride our Constitution and bring us down to the level of every small-time dictator and thug who run most of the third world countries.

Let us write our Congressmen and urge them to get us out of the UN while there is still time. We can't help others if we are in the same condition they are!
