Anti-U.N. campaign picks up steam
50,000 sign petition to chase it from U.S.

The non-profit group, Move America Forward has collected over 50,000 signatures
on petitions calling for the "U.N. to Get Out of the U.S."
The 50,000 signatures have been collected in just two weeks time and the rate
of new signatures is growing exponentially.
"This explosive response is even better than we saw for the Recall Gray Davis
effort," said Howard Kaloogian, one of the activists behind both campaigns.
"The Oil-for-Arms money-laundering scandal has made the United Nations program
the largest source financing terror in the world. Americans overwhelmingly
agree, the U.S. must not knowingly harbor a terrorist-financing organization,
neither should we contribute financially."
Move America Forward is about to launch a national television ad campaign to
bolster its effort, in addition to television and radio advertising in the New
York metropolitan area. The ad campaign will coincide with the resumption of
congressional hearings into the U.N. oil-for-food scandal.
"It was bad enough to see the U.N. deteriorate into a body that embraced an
anti-American agenda," said Kaloogian. "To add financial injury to insult, now
the U.N. wants us to give it an interest-free loan of $1.3 billion, or support
U.N. bonds, to construct a new palace. And even then the U.S. has to pay back
22 percent of that loan in the form of our annual financial contribution to the
U.N. Let them build their new facility in a country that wants their presence,
like France or Kosovo."
The first 60-second television ad can be seen online at the group's website.
Additional television and radio ads are in the process of production.
Meanwhile, Agence France-Presse reports the United Nations staff union is
calling into doubt the much heralded e-mail petition that was started by Kofi
Annan in response to mounting criticism of the U.N.'s leadership.
Annan supporters had e-mailed out a petition to U.N. employees, urging them to
show support for Annan's corrupt leadership.
The United Nations staff union has called for a full accounting of who was
behind the pro-Annan petition. Union officials believe the wording of the
petition was designed to intimidate U.N. employees to back Annan or face
serious retribution.
Move America Forward's co-founder, San Francisco's KSFO 560 AM talk-show host
Melanie Morgan, said board members were hoping Annan would stay in power long
enough to face the full brunt of revelations related to the oil-for-food
scandal.
"It's clear that Kofi Annan is going to try to sweep all of the corruption and
scandal at the U.N. under the rug," said Morgan. "But the central problem isn't
Kofi Annan. You could remove Annan altogether and it wouldn't change the fact
that there is an entire culture of corruption throughout the administration of
the U.N."

The only reason the UN shouldn't build a marvelous new jewel of a
stunning skyscraper headquarters in beautiful Cape Town, South
Africa.. (and we'd really, really love to have them!)... is.. well, it
might be just a little too far from Brussels, Moscow, Beijing and ..
But they'd love the summer.
