BELLEVUE, Wash., Dec. 9, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms today offered thanks and congratulations to 11 members of Congress who have signed on as co-sponsors to legislation that would withhold funding from the United Nations and prevent the United States from adopting any treaty that threatens national sovereignty or abridges the Second Amendment firearms rights of American citizens.
The Second Amendment secures and protects our individual right to keep and bear arms," noted CCRKBA Chairman Alan Gottlieb. "Illinois Congressman Joe Walsh submitted his bill on Wednesday, and now he's been joined by 11 of his colleagues who deserve recognition.

Despite differences over the Iraq war, we haven't lost any of our allies. Our alliances around the world remain strong. President Bush is already working on United Nations reform. Nor do I agree with the idea of surrendering U.S. national sovereignty or the sovereignty of any other nation to an international "intelligence' agency.
Bise's proposals will do nothing to end terrorism. They will only encourage the terrorists to commit more atrocities.

I read with alarm the Deseret Morning News' attack on democracy in its editorial "The House that roared" (Feb. 5). The issue of national sovereignty and the United Nations is not just a debate for the halls of Congress, it is a national debate -- a debate that unfortunately never occurred in July of 1945 when the Congress took a couple of days to debate our entrance into the United Nations. In 2004, Americans are suffering from a type of "buyer's remorse." We, as a nation, should have had an open debate about the U.N. like we did over NAFTA. What the Utah House did is begin a dialogue about our relationship and involvement with the U.N., a dialogue that is long overdue. The Arizona Legislature is sending the same message. Other states are considering sending the message as well.
Is it a...

The United States and Mexico did not continue the close collaboration as during World War II; but, homeland defense (HLD)2 and homeland security (HLS)3 once again became top priorities for both governments in the aftermath of the September 11, 2001 attacks.4 As such, on 23 March 2005, Canada, Mexico and the United States became partners via the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America, demonstrating multi-lateral cooperation for the economic prosperity, freedom and the safety and well being of our people. 6 Hence, as two sovereign powers, the governments of the United States and Mexico have the authority to make war or peace, to form treaties of alliance or commerce with foreign nations and maintain control over their territories.7 In so doing, military operations are merel...

Black helicopters and "one-world government" have long been staples of conspiracy theories across the political spectrum, but, as the saying goes, even paranoids have real enemies. Hudson Institute senior fellow John Fonte has written a new book showing that there really are people in positions of authority who would dilute national sovereignty and transfer political power to unaccountable transnational organizations.
Sovereignty or Submission: Will Americans Rule Themselves or Be Ruled by Others?" painstakingly demonstrates that people worried about global governance have real enemies: academics and political activists, government bureaucrats and nongovernmental organizations, the United Nations and the European Union. They needn't bear the mark of the beast.
