SORRY I AM SO LATE GETTING THIS OUT!!!

Please call

==

 

My Congressman's staff told me today that the bill to

withdraw from the

WTO (World Trade Organization) will be voted on Thursday,

June 9th.

H. J. Res. 27 will withdraw the approval of the United

States from the

WTO Agreement. For further information see the article

below by

Representative Ron Paul from Texas or click on the

following link:

http://www.stoptheftaa.org/artman/publish/article_154.shtml

 

 

We can win this one! Please do the following today or

early tomorrow:

 

1. Call or email your member of the House asking him to

vote for

and cosponsor H.J.RES. 27, a resolution to withdraw the

United States

from the WTO. Preferably do both.

 

 

Your Senators and Representative can be reached

toll free at: 1-

877-762-8762. This is the capitol switchboard.

Ask for your

Representative by name.

 

 

2. Pass this to your circle of influence immediately

asking them to

call their Congressman and then pass this alert to their

circle of

influence.

 

 

This is an opportunity to give the New World Order and the

Beltway

Insiders a setback in the United States similar to the one

given in

Europe last week by the voters in France and the

Netherlands.

 

 

Please call your Representative and then pass this on!

 

For Freedom,

 

Will Christensen

National Chairman

Be a pipeline not a bucket Ð Please pass this along.

 

 

We thank Representative Ron Paul of Texas for his

leadership in the

fight for our Freedom and for the following message:

 

 

February 28, 2005

 

The World Trade Organization, which the United States

joined in 1994,

has been disastrous for American sovereignty. A tax bill

passed last

year provides a vivid example of just how blatantly

Congress is

surrendering our sovereignty to quasi-governmental bodies

like the WTO.

For years, high-tax Europe has objected to how we tax

American

companies on their overseas earnings. The EU took its

dispute to the

WTO grievance board, which voted in favor of the Europeans.

The WTO

ruling was clear: Congress must change American law to

comply with

European rules.

 

 

Make no mistake about it: WTO ministers tell Congress to

change

American laws, and Congress complies. In fact,

congressional leaders

obediently scrambled to make sure the corporate tax bill

passed before

a WTO deadline. Thousands and thousands of bills languish

in

committees, yet a bill ordered by the WTO was pushed to the

front of

the line.

 

 

Americans should expect to see more of the laws we live

under being

dictated by international bodies. Later this year, all

European Union

countries will unify their food supplement laws to conform

with rules

established by a United Nations commission. This

commission, called

Codex Alimentarius, calls for strict control of dietary

supplements.

Under the Codex rules, Europeans will need a doctor's

prescription to

obtain even basic vitamins. Thanks to the WTO, Americans

may find

their supplements similarly restricted in an attempt to

harmonize the

regulatory playing field between the U.S. and Europe.

After all, this

is the new reality in the WTO era: no nation may enjoy an

" unfair "

trade or regulatory environment.

 

 

This affront to our national sovereignty was of course

predictable when

we joined the WTO. A Congressional Research Service report

was quite

clear about the consequences of our membership: " As a

member of the

WTO, the United States does commit to act in accordance

with the rules

of the multi-lateral body. It is legally obligated to

insure that

national laws do not conflict with WTO rules. "

 

 

Our membership in the WTO is unconstitutional, which is to

say illegal.

The Constitution grants Congress, and Congress alone, the

authority to

regulate trade. Congress cannot cede that authority to the

WTO or any

other international body, nor can the President legally

sign any treaty

that purports to do so. When Congress in essence transfers

its

authority over trade matters to the WTO, it acts illegally.

 

 

Fortunately, Congress has an opportunity this year to

withdraw our

membership in the WTO. When the U.S. first joined the

organization in

1994, a rushed lame-duck Congress inserted a 5 year review

clause to

garner some last-minute votes. This clause allows members

of Congress

to bring a resolution every 5 years calling for a vote on

our continued

membership. I plan to join with other House colleagues

this year in

demanding withdrawal from the WTO. Our sovereignty is a

precious

national asset, and the American people are tired of

watching Congress

sell out one constitutional principle after another.
