When it comes to what could amount to as much as an $845 BILLION dollar give away of your hard-earned tax dollars, liberals are actually stepping up their efforts to shove the Global Poverty Act down the throats of the American people!

On June 25th, Cliff Kincaid wrote the above in an article titled: "Proud Pagan Witch Backs Obama's Poverty Bill."

But that's not all.

In addition to this gathering of far-Left "religious leaders" in the San Francisco area, Kincaid also shared a letter he received from a concerned parent on the other side of the country in New York which could be an indication that a wide-spread campaign is taking place throughout the country:

"Meanwhile, a concerned parent alerted us to the fact that a Christian preschool in Long Island, New York was handing out a coloring page for children which included a plea for Congress to pass Obama's Global Poverty Act. 'Dear Parents,' said the letter that was sent home. 'We would like to join efforts with the congregation of St. David's to stop world hunger. You and your child can help by coloring and signing the enclosed sheet. This sheet will be sent along with many others to our representatives in Washington..."

"The [enclosed] sheet said 'Dear Senator: At Preschool, I learned to thank God for the food I eat. I also collect coins to help those who don't have enough. Today, I ask you to help, too, with more and better aid for the world's poorest countries. We want Congress to pass the Global Poverty Act. Please cosponsor S. 2433. Thank you.' The child's name and age were supposed to be filled in.

"The pictures to be colored included what appeared to be an angel holding a bowl of food (with a Valentine heart on the robe and the bowl) and a basket with apples."

Enlisting children in the effort to give the hard-earned tax dollars to third-world dictators and despots at the United Nations is simply sick!

Is it possible that our elected officials are gearing-up to pass the Global Poverty Act while our backs are turned... while they think we are distracted by the holiday?

If so, we can't let that happen. WE MUST LET THEM KNOW -- RIGHT HERE AND RIGHT NOW -- THAT WE ARE WATCHING!

Tell them you sincerely hope that reports of the Global Poverty Act coming up for a vote right after the 4th of July are premature and unfounded. Tell them that when the American people say DO NOT to pass the Global Poverty Act it means just that. Tell them it DOES NOT mean, pass it when you think no one is looking!

The Global Poverty Act could pave the way for putting the entire planet on United States-funded welfare.

The main sponsor Senator Barack Obama -- along with the other sponsors, including a group of Republicans-In-Name-Only (RINOs) such as Senators Chuck Hagel, Olympia Snowe, and Richard Lugar -- probably hopes you have forgotten.

There are legislators on both sides of the aisle who would love nothing more than to slip it by the Senate one sleepy, summer day.

This bill has already passed the House by voice vote and the Senate Foreign Relations Committee by voice vote. That means your legislator can tell you he is "against it" even if he shouted out "Aye" at the top of his lungs.

As author Edward Cline explains: "This is a stratagem adopted by legislators who fear that a bill is so outrageous that it is better that no record be kept of those who endorsed it. S.2433 was passed from the Senate Foreign Relations Committee in the same manner - by voice vote, without public hearings, to protect the identities of the guilty."

What's it about? Vincent Gioia, writing in Right Side News, says:

" The Global Poverty Act (S.2433) would require the United States to spend $845 billion ($845,000,000,000.00) on welfare to third-world countries. This amounts to a tax of over $2,000 on each man, woman and child in the United States. The foreign aid budget now stands at $300 billion; the Act would add the additional expenditure to the already huge amount allocated to assist the world."

As Phyllis Schlafly wrote recently:

"Obama's costly, dangerous and altogether bad bill (S. 2433), which could come up in the Senate any day, is called the Global Poverty Act. It would commit U.S. taxpayers to spend 0.7 percent of our Gross Domestic Product on foreign handouts..."

WorldNetDaily.com quotes Cliff Kincaid at Accuracy in Media as saying:

"[T]he legislation, if approved, dedicates 0.7 percent of the U.S. gross national product to foreign aid, which over 13 years... would amount to $845 billion 'over and above what the U.S. already spends. The plan passed the House in 2007 because most members didn't realize what was in it. Congressional sponsors have been careful not to calculate the amount of foreign aid spending that it would require."

What are our elected officials thinking? Do they believe that a consortium of third-world dictators and despots at the United Nations can help solve the problems of the world better than the United States of America!

We are the greatest benefactors of the world's poor because we have an economic system that creates and generates wealth. And apparently Obama, Reid, Pelosi, Hagel, Snowe and Lugar want to CHANGE all that.

But this scheme to supposedly alleviate global poverty did not originate with Obama, Reid, Pelosi, Hagel, Snowe and Lugar.

It was part of a scheme -- hatched in the United Nations -- called the Millennium Development Goal, and the Global Poverty Act references the Millennium Development Goal throughout.

Dr. Jeffrey D. Sachs, a Columbia University economist, is monitoring this demonic blueprint for world domination.

In his 2005 report to Kofi Annan -- based on the research of 265 "poverty specialists" -- Sachs criticized the United States for giving only a mere $16.3 billion a year to alleviate global poverty.

And he has basically stated that the only way to force people to commit money to the alleviation of global poverty is through the imposition of a GLOBAL TAX .

Specifically Sachs said:

"We will need, in the end, to put real resources in support of our hopes. A global tax on carbon-emitting fossil fuels might be the way to begin."

We should have learned a lesson from the Oil-for-Food scandal.

As David Asman of Fox News summarized it:

"It began as a United Nations humanitarian aid program called 'Oil-for-Food,' but it ended up with Saddam Hussein pocketing billions to become the biggest graft generating machine ever and enriching some of America's most forceful opponents at the United Nations."

Even Kojo Annan -- son of former United Nations Secretary General Kofi Annan -- got caught with his hand in the cookie jar and a mouth full of sugar crumbs.

But you know something? Our federal legislators have learned ABSOLUTELY NOTHING from the greatest swindle of all times.

Here they are, once again trying to cram billions and billions of dollars into the hip pocket of the terminally corrupt United Nations.

We can't let that happen again! Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.

By the way, the United Nations' Millennium Development Goal -- proclaimed in 2000 -- contains plans for additional assaults on your wallet.

Among their stated goals are:

a "currency transfer tax," that is, a tax imposed on companies and individuals who must exchange dollars for foreign currency;

a "tax on the rental value of land and natural resources";

and "fees for the commercial use of the oceans, fees for airplane use of the skies, fees for use of the electromagnetic spectrum, fees on foreign exchange transactions, and a tax on the carbon content of fuels."

It's clearly time to break the kneecaps of the United Nations, before this coalition of radical politicians and international swindlers bankrupts us.
