We need to support this bill, it's long overdue.
A Republican-sponsored Bill which would cut the American contribution to the UN by half reached the House floor yesterday. As America contributes 22 per cent of the budget, such a reduction would cripple UN activities.
Henry Hyde, the Bill's sponsor and chairman of the House international relations committee, said that he would not back down. "The constitution gives to Congress the power of the purse," he said. "We intend to exercise it in pursuit of meaningful UN reform."

Just heard on the radio that it passed. I'm grinning ear to ear. Now if we could do something about the 66 million dollars Mexico receives from us annually in foreign aid. Bob, you have a new project.
Now we have to get it through the Senate. Here's where the literal crybabies like Boxer, Kerry, Voinovich and the others who would sell us out will try to block the legislation. It won't matter to them that the majority of Americans want it.
As for Mexico, I'm counting on your guy Tom Tancredo to lead us on that one.
I heard it on Hannity. What a great way to start the weekend. It's long overdue.
Colmes must be having a hissy fit!
He's been in perpetual hissy-fit motion since last November, I use to respect him. Tom Tancredo? I really cannot see this man being nominated, but I'm thinking of standing behind him.
