Dear Concerned Friend,
Barack Obama is at it again. This time he wants to impose his socialistic views on the United States by subjecting our citizens to the International Criminal Court (ICC).
He recently dispatched a delegation to The Hague to explore issues involving United States' involvement in the ICC, an organization that USJF believes could be used to prosecute American soldiers and political leaders on trumped up criminal charges brought by left wing, or terrorist supporting, governments, like Iran.
Barack Obama believes that the United States should be subject to global laws, instead of the United States Constitution.
We here at the United States Justice foundation (USJF) are very concerned about this shift in United States policy, as the ICC does not recognize many of the U.S. Constitution's provisions protecting defendants in criminal trials, such as the right to trial by jury, and protections against double-jeopardy, which are the cornerstones of the Bill of Rights.
A main tenet of the ICC is that its jurisdiction extends only to those nations that ratify the ICC treaty. However, the Obama administration is, apparently, going to adopt a policy that would subject the United States to the ICC, even if the U. S. Senate does not adopt the treaty. THIS VIOLATES OUR CONSTITUTION!
The so-called "Rome" statute provides that when the basic requisites for ICC jurisdiction under part of the statute have been met, then the ICC may exercise criminal jurisdiction over nationals of States not party to the Rome Statute, in this case, the citizens of our country.
The ICC was given such jurisdiction in order to ensure that offenders of the most serious international crimes, which come under the jurisdiction of the Court, will be held accountable of their actions, regardless of their nationality.
This claimed jurisdiction is one of the concerns of USJF, and we feel that this is an unlawful intrusion on our Sovereignty.
We are afraid that this United States Senate, led by Harry Reid, working with the other socialists in the Democratic majority, will ratify the Rome Statute if it comes to the Senate Floor, thus destroying the sovereignty of this country.
It is believed that the Obama White House will push for ratification of this Treaty in May of 2010. However, in the meantime, it appears that this Administration will try to end-run the treaty ratification process, "just in case."
We cannot trust this Senate to protect our Constitutional Rights! We cannot trust the Obama Administration to protect our Constitutional Rights! We have already seen with the OBAMACARE debacle how the Democratic majority in Congress, and the Obama Whitehouse, do not care what is good for the United States, they just care about obtaining more power and pushing their radical agenda! Help USJF stop Barack Obama from destroying the sovereignty
of the United States. CLICK HERE NOW! There are two main objections to the ICC treaty:
First, the ICC does not offer the same due process rights, particularly right to trial by jury and protection against double-jeopardy, rights which are guaranteed under the United States Constitution. As I said earlier, these rights are cornerstones of our legal protections in criminal cases, our "due process" rights, and we cannot let them be infringed upon!
Secondly, the "Rome" Statute contravenes Article I, Section 8, and Article III, Section I, of the U. S. Constitution, dealing with the establishment of domestic courts.
Those on the left will argue that the Rome Statute contains due process protections that are essentially in line with protections under the U.S. Constitution, such as the right to remain silent, the guarantee against compulsory self-incrimination, the presumption of innocence, the right to confront accusers and cross-examine witnesses, and the right to a speedy and public trial.
Even though a lot of these rights parallel those in our Constitution, there is still no right to trial by Jury.
Another problem with the ICC is that since Congress neither created the ICC nor approved its rules, the Rome Statute is inconsistent with the provisions found in Article I, Section 8, of the Constitution, which empowers Congress with the authority to "constitute tribunals inferior to the Supreme Court," and Article III, Section 1, which states that "judicial power of the United States, shall be vested in one Supreme Court, and in such inferior courts as the Congress from time to time ordain and establish."
The Constitution is pretty clear in this regard. The power to create courts lies with Congress, and not with the global community.
It is clear that U.S. involvement in the ICC would circumvent the U. S. Constitution and destroy American Sovereignty. Help USJF stop Barack Obama from destroying the sovereignty
of the United States. CLICK HERE NOW! When Barack Obama tries to evade the requirements of the U. S. Constitution and implement ICC jurisdiction over U. S. citizens, USJF must be ready to file litigation to challenge this new attack on our rights! And, when the Obama Administration, through its minions in the U. S. Senate, try to have the ICC treaty ratified, USJF must be ready to do everything that it can to force the United States Senate to not ratify it!
How? We must be ready to submit testimony to the Senate, describing, in detail, how the ICC treaty violates the Constitutional rights of all Americans. How it violates the sovereignty of the United States. How it puts at risk all of our military personnel serving overseas.
AND, we must be ready to challenge in court any violation of Senate rules by the Obama minions in the Senate as they try to force this treaty through the ratification process.
We must let the socialists, those who support the "New World Order," in the Senate know that we will be watching their every move, and that we will not let them force this upon us without the fight of their lives...
We cannot trust them to do the right thing, as we are seeing with OBAMACARE right now.
It won't stop there though. After the ICC, the plan that the Obama Administration has leaked is that they will then implement the Copenhagen Treaty through the issuance of Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Regulations, again trying to avoid having the U. S. Senate have to approve the Climate Change Treaty. Again, later, the Obama minions in the U. S. Senate will try to ratify the Climate Change treaty which, if approved, will devastate our economy, sending billions of dollars in tax money to foreign countries, and costing millions of American jobs.
Not only are they trying to promote the charade of "global warming", but they are also trying to destroy our sovereignty and substitute international law for our Constitution.
USJF must be ready to fight these battles, by filing legal challenges against these, and all other, attempts by the Obama Administration to implement treaties that have not been approved by the Senate, and to challenge treaties that come out of the U.S. Senate that violate the U.S. Constitution.
Mr. Obama faces a major hurdle in the U. S. Senate, where he needs 67 votes for treaty ratification. As it stands right now, that looks impossible, but don't be too sure. Liberal Democratic Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has shown, in passing the Senate version of OBAMACARE, that he will do, and say, anything to pass the Obama Socialistic agenda, by cutting any deals necessary, no matter the financial cost, no matter the damage to America. Just look at Senators Mary Landrieu and Ben Nelson, who are now "on board," after being "bribed" with special funding and special "perks" for their states, with OBAMACARE..
I need your financial help, TODAY, to ensure that Barack Obama does not evade the requirements that international treaties be approved by the U. S. Senate. And, I need your financial support, TODAY, to make sure that Harry Reid doesn't force the United States to be subject to the International Criminal Court and other unconstitutional international treaties.
WE MUST STOP THEM NOW! Help USJF stop Barack Obama from destroying the sovereignty
of the United States. CLICK HERE NOW! Are you willing to sit back and let this Senate and this Administration violate the Constitution?
Our country is on the fast track to disaster…but you can help to keep the situation from getting worse. I pray that I'll hear from you today.
Sincerely,
Gary Kreep, Executive Director
United States Justice Foundation
P.S. This is the worst Senate in American History and the worst Administration in American History. Our sovereignty is at stake. Our economic future is at stake! Our Constitutional Rights are at stake! We must stop the Obama Administration from taking action to implement these international treaties without Senate approval. And, we must do all that we can to stop the Senate from ratifying the Rome Statute and the Copenhagen Climate Change Treaty. Help USJF stop Barack Obama from destroying the sovereignty
