Get Out of the United Nations

 President Trump deserves applause for getting the United States out of one agency after another within the United Nations.

But these efforts are all too piecemeal.

It's time to get out of the UN entirely, and defund the whole wasteful enterprise.


 

URGENT; ACT NOW: President Trump has signed an executive order mandating a review of U.S. membership in all international organizations and treaties — and his administration is required to “provide recommendations as to whether the United States should withdraw from any such organizations, conventions, or treaties.” This comes as Trump already withdrew from the World Health Organization, Paris agreement, UN Human Rights Council, and other international bodies. Now’s the time for Congress to restore U.S. sovereignty by actually getting us out of the entire UN system. Urge your U.S. representative and senators to reintroduce and support legislation to restore U.S. sovereignty in the current, 119th Congress.

The United Nations is one of the greatest threats to U.S. national sovereignty and the God-given freedoms of Americans. It is imperative that Congress enact legislation to fully withdraw the United States from the UN and all its associated entities.

In the previous, 118th Congress, Senator Mike Lee (R-Utah) and Representative Chip Roy (R-Texas) sponsored legislation (S. 3428 and H.R. 6645) to Get US Out! of the UN. When he introduced the bill in the Senate, Sen. Lee said:

At the UN’s inception in 1945, President Truman presented a choice between international chaos and the establishment of a world organization for peace. Yet, despite the UN’s existence, chaos abounds. Adversaries leverage their UN positions and the goal of peace is overshadowed by the ambition for supranational governance. The true hope for a peaceful world lies not in such global institutions but in the strength of our national sovereignty and the use of the strength of forge and continue to foster bilateral relationships around the world.

Furthermore, in a previous interview with The New American, Representative Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) also made a strong case for terminating U.S. membership in the UN:

First of all, I don’t think we should be in the United Nations. It’s a collection of dictators, and you give them all a vote in the organization. I’m a sponsor of a bill to get us out of the United Nations, and to get the United Nations out of the United States [and] some related world associations, [such as the] World Trade Organization [and the] World Health Organization.

The World Trade Organization has been hostile to the United States. They are the ones who … “forced” Congress to take off the country of origin labeling for beef and pork. Obviously, they only forced the ones here who have weak minds … to get rid of those labels — but that came from the World Trade Organization. The World Health Organization has redefined things like the definition of “vaccine” and “herd immunity.” And then our own CDC is following suit and trying to redefine these terms.

It is Orwellian in the sense that they’re trying to control thought by controlling the language that we use. And for Joe Biden to throw in with all of that, it’s that we have a president like that.

— U.S. Representative Thomas Massie (2021)

It is imperative that Congress reintroduce and enact legislation to Get US Out! of the UN. Please contact your U.S. representative and senators, and urge them to so just that. Failure to act could mean the total loss of our Constitution and our God-given freedoms.
