What happens when Americans need help ?

[Guest guest]

" The Global Poverty Act of 2007 (S.2433) is coming up for a Senate vote sometime

after the July 4 recess, according the office of Senator Kay Hutchison.

Once Harry Reid and the Democrat leadership put it on the calendar, we could

have as little as a week to prepare for the vote. " [Emphasis Mine]

Cary wrote that report just days ago on June 26th. And while we have not yet

been able to confirm his report, we HAVE seen a renewed SURGE of activity by

groups on the far-Left to push a vote on the Global Poverty Act.

On June 25th, Cliff Kincaid wrote of these efforts in an article titled: " Proud

Pagan Witch Backs Obama's Poverty Bill. "

Kincaid wrote:

" While Senator Barack Obama struggles to keep the public in the dark about the

nature of his pro-U.N. Global Poverty Act, a recent 'Bay Area Interfaith

Leaders' Luncheon' was held to lobby for Senate passage of the bill, whose cost

has been estimated at $845 billion. "

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

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. '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.

As we have stated before, eradicating global poverty is a noble goal. But if

history is any guide, we know that just throwing the money of hard-working

Americans at the problem does not work.

In fact, it is unlikely that foreign aid would ever make it to the actual

struggling people of recipient third world countries. Rather, it will more

likely end up lining the pockets of those nations' corrupt leaders.

And, enlisting children in the effort to pass the Global Poverty Act 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 pass the Global Poverty Act, they mean

just that. Tell them it DOES NOT mean, pass it when you think no one is

looking!

You Remember the Global Poverty Act

That's the bill that could pave the way for putting the entire planet on U.S.

taxpayer-funded welfare.

The bill's 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 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 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? 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. "

And 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. "
