what you describe.

I saw the website for it a few months ago, can't find it right now, but the same or similar provisions could be buried anywhere in here http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/bdquery

The website described a pledge that the Senate should take to prevent any UN treaties that limit or control the flow of US weapons, including small weapons, into other countries.

I am concerned about this, because it is fertilizes foreign soil around the world for situations that will result in the deaths of US armed forces & their UN counterparts. IOW, it's Project for a New American Century promoting and EXPANDING the our, now nationless, Military Industrial Complex.

The "Libertarians" I know who were pushing a petition supporting this sign-or-we'll-see-to-it-that-you-lose-office extortion of the US Senate have since left here and moved to South Dakota.
