The United States should stay away from any and all United Nations treaties, conventions, or anything else that comes out of the U.N.  Our country’s ratification of any treaty cedes our sovereignty to a global power.  The commitments the United States made under the Kyoto Protocol are stealing the wealth of our citizens and distributing it to other nations.  The Senate never ratified Kyoto, but the fact is the commitments made are being honored through the State Department, USAID, EPA, and the military. This is confiscatory taxation and theft, and citizens must be made aware of this fact.  We must stop funding the United Nations, withdraw from participation, and remove its headquarters from American soil.
