TV
campaign urging: Kick U.N. out of U.S.
Group wants headquarters booted, asks public to sign online
petition

A new anti-United Nations television campaign is reversing the familiar
refrain "get the U.S. out of the U.N.," and instead urges
the global body be kicked out of the U.S.
"The
U.N. has become an apologist and defender of terrorist organizations
and their agents," says the 60-second commercial, which points
out the recent Oil-for-Food scandal involving the U.N.
"Billions
of dollars intended for humanitarian aid instead went to pay the
families of Palestinian terrorists, and to buy weapons for Iraq-based
terrorists. Millions more went to bribe journalists and officials
in countries opposing Operation Iraqi Freedom, like France, Germany
and Russia, the most vocal critics of the war. What a coincidence."
It
continues by asking: "We tell other countries not to harbor
organizations that support terrorists, why then do we harbor the
U.N. here in America?"
Spearheading
the campaign to boot the U.N. is the conservative organization,
Move America Forward, which was founded by former California Assemblyman
Howard Kaloogian and San Francisco talk-radio personality Melanie
Morgan.
Kaloogian
recently chaired the Recall Gray Davis Committee, which led the
push that replaced the embattled California governor with Arnold
Schwarzenegger. He also helped rally millions of Americans to oppose
the airing of the CBS movie "The Reagans," which portrayed
the former first family in a negative light.
"The
recent revelations on the U.N. Oil-for-Food scandal are the final
straws in making the case against the U.N.," said Kaloogian.
"The U.S. government is resolved to take action against nations
that harbor terrorists or organizations which provide financial
aid or in-kind assistance to terrorists. Why, then does our nation
play host to, and harbor, the United Nations when recent evidence
implicates the U.N.'s role in providing assistance to terrorists
such as Yasser Arafat and Saddam Hussein?"
The
group is asking concerned citizens to sign its online petition which
will be delivered to President Bush and leaders of Congress, as
well as the U.N.
The
petition concludes by stating, "We, the undersigned, do therefore
call for the following to take place immediately:
Removal
of the United Nations Headquarters facilities from New York, relocating
it outside of the United States and any of its territories.
A
thorough review of the U.S. financial contributions to the U.N.
with a goal of a more equitable payment schedule. Until that review
is concluded, eliminate all the payments made by the United States
to the United Nations."
Response
to the effort thus far has been overwhelming, according to the group.
"I
have never seen such a vigorous response to any grassroots effort
like there's been to this effort to take serious steps to sanction
the U.N. for it's coddling of terrorists and terrorist-supporting
regimes," said Morgan of KSFO Radio.
"We
need drastic change right away, and that begins with getting the
U.N. out of this country and all the terrorist-sympathizing U.N.
agents out of here immediately. Then we need to re-examine the amount
of money that we provide the U.N. Americans pay too much to the
U.N. for the treatment we receive," she said.
