Barrack Obama: Global Poverty Is America's Problem

Senator Obama should gather today’s musically artist together and set Senate Bill 2433 (S. 2433) to music. He can call it “We Are The World Part II.”

Senator Barrack Obama’s Senate Bill 2433, the Global Poverty Act, would require the President to develop and implement a comprehensive strategy to further the United States foreign policy objective of:

• Promoting the reduction of global poverty
  

• The elimination of extreme global poverty


• The achievement of the Millennium Development Goal of reducing by one-half the proportion of people worldwide, between 1990 and 2015, who live on less than $1 per day

Global Poverty Bill

Obama’s bill places the burden of the plan on the backs of the President and the American Tax Payer. This bill threatens the sovereignty of the United States by surrendering control of our economic prosperity to the UN. The Millennium Development Goal mandates key benchmarks of wealth distribution AWAY from American workers (you and me) in “favor” of “developing nations.”

The vagueness of what would be deemed the success or failure of the Global Poverty Act benefits the UN, not Americans. The act would hold Americans as economic hostages forever, and tie the hands of all future US Presidents.

This bill seemed dead back in 2007, when Obama first introduced it, and received very little notice in the early part of 2008. But with Obama ascension to the top of the Democratic heap, S. 2433 is alive and well, and stronger than ever. S. 2433 must be stopped!
