Congressman Introduces Bill to Get U.S. Out of UN : by Alex Newman

Citing wasted tax dollars and attacks on the constitutionally guaranteed liberties of the American people, Rep. Mike Rogers (R-Ala.; shown) introduced a bill to restore U.S. sovereignty and withdraw from the United Nations. The effort to de-fund and exit the UN comes amid growing scrutiny of the global organization, often ridiculed as the "dictators club," and myriad mega-scandals swirling around it. However, despite ever-growing support in Congress for restoring U.S. sovereignty by withdrawing from the UN over the years, the legislation still faces an uphill battle. http://www.thenewamerican.com/world-news/africa/item/20776-whistleblower-targeted-for-exposing-un-troops-raping-children

In a statement last week announcing the American Sovereignty Restoration Act of 2015 (H.R. 1205), Rep. Rogers noted that many of his constituents in East Alabama would likely agree with his position that U.S. government participation in the UN should end immediately. "The U.N. continues to prove it's an inefficient bureaucracy and a complete waste of American tax dollars," the congressman said, echoing widespread concerns about the international outfit expressed across America and worldwide.  http://mikerogers.house.gov/press-release/report-washington-restoring-and-protecting-american-sovereignty     https://www.govtrack.us/congress/bills/114/hr1205/text  

"Why should the American taxpayer bankroll an international organization that works against America's interests around the world?" asked Rep. Rogers. "The time is now to restore and protect American sovereignty and get out of the United Nations." He cited attacks on U.S. liberties as a key motivation for the legislation.

Several other liberty-minded congressmen have also sponsored the legislation including constitutionalist Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.), Rep. John Duncan (R-Tenn.), Rep. Lynn Westmoreland (R-Ga.), and Rep. Tim Huelskamp (R-Kan.). A previous bill to withdraw from the UN introduced in the last Congress by then-Rep. Paul Broun (R-Ga.) garnered nine co-sponsors. With the regime ruling Communist China increasingly taking a leading role at the UN, among numerous other concerns, opposition to the global body is expected to continue growing.    http://www.thenewamerican.com/world-news/asia/item/21025-china-staking-claim-in-the-new-world-order
