Free Money from the US Government, come and get it!!
How much money does the United States currently contribute to the
United Nations and its various agencies? Surprisingly, no one knows for
sure.
The State Department does report on its spending at the United Nations, but it is only one of several federal agencies that give money to the world body each year.
In its fiscal 2014 State and Foreign Operations budget proposal released in April, the Obama administration asked for $1.57 billion for contributions to international organizations, including $617.6 million for the U.N. operating budget — up from $568.8 million in fiscal 2012.
But other agencies giving to the U.N. include the Departments of Labor, Energy, Agriculture, Defense, and Health and Human Services, CNS News reported.
Fiscal 2007 legislation stipulated that the Office of Budget and Management (OMB) report all federal agencies' contributions, but the requirement expired in 2011.
Now Republican Sens. Mike Enzi of Wyoming and Mike Lee of Utah, and others, are submitting legislation that would reinstate the requirement.
"It's disturbing that no one, including our ambassador to the United Nations, knows exactly how much money we send the U.N. every year," Enzi said in a statement.
"With a national debt exceeding $17 trillion, we need to be able to account for every dime we spend, including what we send to the U.N."
The last OMB report to Congress on U.N. contributions was issued in June 2011 and covered fiscal 2010. It showed that State was just one of 17 government agencies giving money to U.N. organizations, funds, affiliates and other bodies, and the total expenditure that year was $7.69 billion — more than 10 times the amount requested for State in fiscal 2014.
In addition to the billions being contributed to various bodies within the U.N. system, the United States provides 22 percent of the U.N.'s operating budget, more than twice as much as the No. 2 contributor, Japan (10.8 percent).
Other legislation likely to be introduced in Congress would change the way the United Nations is funded, allowing the United States to fund only those activities and agencies that are "efficient and in the national interest," according to CNS News.
As the Insider Report disclosed earlier, the United States did cut off funding for the U.N. Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) after it voted in October 2011 to approve the Palestinian Authority's full membership in the agency. But that move was required by U.S. laws.

NOT JUST THE DEATH OF THE BOY SCOUTS -- BY DONNA GARNER -- 5.25.13
The Boy Scout Oath
On my honor I will do my best
To do my duty to God and my country
and to obey the Scout Law;
To help other people at all times;
To keep myself physically strong,
mentally awake, and morally straight.
The Boy Scout Law
A Scout is:
Trustworthy, Loyal, Helpful,
Friendly, Courteous, Kind,
Obedient, Cheerful, Thrifty,
Brave, Clean, Reverent
The 61% of the 1,400 Boy Scouts of America National Council delegates who voted to allow openly gay boys to join the Boy Scouts have sent a clear message to America: “The Boy Scout Oath is meaningless, and we leaders who are supposed to exemplify courage have caved to political pressure.”
To contradict the Boy Scout Oath will result in many young boys being influenced not only to tolerate but to accept and participate in LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender) sexual activities. This will put their lives in danger.
As these LGBT boys turn 18, they will demand to become Boy Scout leaders; and there will be no foothold to which the BSA can cling on that slippery slope.
INADEQUATE EFFORT ON OUR PART
Perhaps we who truly care about the health and well-being of other people have not done a good job of communicating our message. We must not have made it clear that because we care, we want people to live a healthy and long life. This will not happen to those who practice the sexual activities involved with the LGBT lifestyle.
The medical data is “an equal opportunity provider.” Most of the medical data is not subject to the usual bias based upon race, ethnicity, or gender. Sexually transmitted diseases (STD’s, STI’s) do not really care who a person is nor to what organization, group, political party, race, ethnicity, or gender the person belongs.
Bottom line: For those people who insist on “playing with fire, they will get burned.” STD’s will strike with equal vengeance, most of them based upon the dangerous sexual activities of the people involved.
We who do care about the well-being of other people have allowed the LGBT community to portray and market themselves as being well-dressed, debonair, handsome, beautiful, "gay," and happy. What we should have done all along is to tell the truth about how truly dangerous and unhealthy LGBT sexual activities really are.
The problem we have faced in presenting the facts about the LGBT lifestyle is that it is so perverse; we cannot present those facts openly without exposing children and/or polite society to the awful realities. Our inability to present the facts has allowed the LGBT community to “sell” their bogus image. The marketing gimmick of the happy, same-sex couple is just that – a marketing gimmick; and unfortunately, the Boy Scouts have just succumbed to this LGBT marketing gimmick.
SO WHAT IS THE TRUTH?
Why are sexually transmitted diseases (STD's, STI’s) rampant in the LGBT community...because they are urinating on each other, playing with feces, having vaginal/oral/anal sex with all sorts of sex objects, and participating in many other perverse sexual activities.
Because of the LGBT’s anal and oral sexual activities, they are not "gay" at all. Instead, they are constantly seeking sexual arousal, each time falling into more desperate practices. This leads them to even more perverse activities that end up damaging their anal sphincters and giving them such diseases as genital herpes, meningitis, throat/prostate/testicular/colon cancers, anal papilloma, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, HPV, and many others. Then, too, the negative, long-term results of transgender reversal sex operations and hormonal treatments are only beginning to manifest themselves in the medical literature:

Want to read about the big IRS scandal? Don't go to msn.com cause there's nothing there about it!
What a shame that a big internet company like msn.com is so far on the left that they will not even report on their website the IRS scandal going on that concerns all Americans right or left. Here the government is trying to run over us and MSN is too Democratic to fairly report it. Check out fox news for the real news.
Roger Ailes' letter to Fox employees
The recent news about the FBI’s seizure of the phone and email records of Fox News employees, including James Rosen, calls into question whether the federal government is meeting its constitutional obligation to preserve and protect a free press in the United States. We reject the government's efforts to criminalize the pursuit of investigative journalism and falsely characterize a Fox News reporter to a Federal judge as a "co-conspirator" in a crime. I know how concerned you are because so many of you have asked me: why should the government make me afraid to use a work phone or email account to gather news or even call a friend or family member? Well, they shouldn’t have done it. The administration’s attempt to intimidate Fox News and its employees will not succeed and their excuses will stand neither the test of law, the test of decency, nor the test of time. We will not allow a climate of press intimidation, unseen since the McCarthy era, to frighten any of us away from the truth.
I am proud of your tireless effort to report the news over the last 17 years. I stand with you, I support you and I thank you for your reporting with courageous optimism. Too many Americans fought and died to protect our unique American right of press freedom. We can’t and we won’t forget that. To be an American journalist is not only a great responsibility, but also a great honor. To be a Fox journalist is a high honor, not a high crime. Even this memo of support will cause some to demonize us and try to find irrelevant things to cause us to waver. We will not waver.
As Fox News employees, we sometimes are forced to stand alone, but even then when we know we are reporting what is true and what is right, we stand proud and fearless. Thank you for your hard work and all your efforts.
Sincerely,
Roger Ailes
When the people fear the government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty.
---- Thomas Jefferson
Our president takes an oath of
office to uphold and protect the Constitution. Instead, he stomps on it.
He perverts it. He insults it with his twisted view of the American
system of government. Barack Obama acts not like a president, but rather as a tyrannical dictator. If you want to fight this tyranny and restore freedom to this country, then stand with us NOW!
Because of his thirst for power
and control, he used the IRS as a weapon against conservative
organizations and individuals. Because of his thirst for power, Obama
brushed aside the First Amendment when his Department of (In)Justice
issued secret subpoenas to spy on members of the Associated Press for
over 2 months!
Dictator
wanna-be Obama also heightened his attack on FOX News, an organization
that he verbally attacked many times even going so far as to attempt to
remove them from the White House Press Corps. Obama's DOJ went after
Chief Washington Correspondent James Rosen for simply doing his job.
They labeled him as a possible criminal co-conspirator in violation of
the Espionage Act and monitored his phone, his parent's phones, phones
at FOX News, as well as his personal email.
Those are the tactics of the Soviet Union and a clear attack on freedom of the press!
Those are the tactics of the Soviet Union and a clear attack on freedom of the press!
I ask you. Is this
the America that you want to live? An America where disagreeing with
the policies of a president makes you a target, makes you a criminal,
makes your government not just turn against you, but attack you? One
thing that everyone, regardless of political affiliation, needs to ask
themselves is this....If Barack Obama would intimidate with the
IRS and attack the press, accusing them of being traitors, with the DOJ,
what is he NOT capable of? And, if we don't stop him, then the same conservative attacking thugs at the IRS will be in charge of enforcing ObamaCare! We must continue this fight for freedom, but we cannot do it without your help!
These are scary times. We cannot allow Obama to continue to silence us with his Chicago, thuggish, dictatorship. That
is why we are filing a lawsuit against the IRS for their illegal
intimidation of conservatives, including TheTeaParty.net specifically. We frequently talk about accountability, and now is a perfect time to put those words into action!
Count on one thing. This fight will be long. It will be tiresome. It will be costly. But, it
will be worth it to win against a tyrant who desires to fundamentally
transform America into a land with serfs, not citizens; with slavery,
not freedom. Don't let that happen! Whatever you can afford, whether $5, $50, or $100, we need your help to win this battle. America is worth it.
Thank you for your support,
