Last Thursday, GOA alerted you to the amendment introduced by Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX). As you will remember, his amendment would have pulled the United States out of the U.N. Rep. Paul stood up for all of our rights, stating that, “Our Constitution does not give us the authority to sell our sovereignty to an international government body . . . [and] does not allow us, for instance, to undermine the Bill of Rights.” Indeed, as documented by our Thursday alert, the U.N. has been quietly pushing a gun control agenda for the member states (like the U.S.). Unfortunately, only 54 Representatives stood firm and supported the Paul amendment, which would have withdrawn the U.S. from the United Nations.

Who voted AGAINST the Paul amendment? Every Democrat voted against the Paul amendment, except for Reps. Hall (TX) and Taylor (MS) who voted for the provision; and Reps. Andrews, Berman, Farr, Fattah, Goode, Jefferson and Lantos who missed the vote. Thus, if you have a Democratic Representative — and he is not one of the nine men listed above — he voted against the Paul amendment. The self-avowed socialist, Rep. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), also voted against withdrawing from the U.N.
