March 8, 2004 Let the political elite know you are watching them! Operating -- apparently -- on the proposition that taxes are too low, the Republican chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee recently moved out of his committee a long-stalled treaty which would allow international bureaucrats to tax the American people. That treaty is now positioned for a vote by the Senate; likely by a voice vote which means senators can avoid taking a recorded position on the issue. It is not hard to see why the Law of the Sea Treaty (LOST) has festered for over 20 years without being ratified by the United States: 1. LOST would hand over to international bureaucrats the power to regulate 70% of the world’s resources; 2. LOST would give international bureaucrats the power to assess taxes on the United States; 3. LOST would provide for a multi-national court system to enforce its provisions; and, 4. LOST would ratify assertions of communist China that the treaty confers jurisdiction over the South China Sea and, by inference, Taiwan. Not surprisingly, supporters are attempting to sneak this abomination through the Senate after a "kangaroo court" hearing where treaty opponents were prohibited from testifying. Even though conservatives have blocked ratification for 22 years, Washington liberals now claim that the treaty is "uncontroversial" just because this internationalist committee chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee was successful in bludgeoning committee members to support it. Your quick action is essential. Supporters of LOST are attempting to sneak this anti-American treaty through the Senate quietly and quickly. Tell your U.S. senators to oppose the Law of the Sea Treaty today. Let's show the political elite in Washington that we are watching what they do.
