INDEPENDENT CONSERVATIVE VOICE OF
UPSTATE SOUTH CAROLINA

Get Us Out of the United Nations

Legislation to Get US Out! of the United Nations is currently pending in Congress. H.R. 6645 and S. 3428, titled the Disengaging Entirely from the United Nations Debacle (DEFUND) Act, are respectively sponsored by Representative Chip Roy (R-Texas) and Senator Mike Lee (R-Utah). These bills would fully withdraw the United States from the United Nations, restoring U.S. national sovereignty. Both H.R. 6645 and S. 3458 are pending in the House and Senate Foreign Affairs Committees, respectively. Contact your U.S. representative and senators, and urge them to support and cosponsor these bills, and to ensure their passage in Congress.

The United Nations is one of the greatest threats to U.S. national sovereignty and the God-given freedoms of Americans. It is imperative that Congress enact legislation to fully withdraw the United States from the UN and all its associated entities.

On December 6, 2023, Senator Lee introduced the DEFUND Act (S. 3428) in the U.S. Senate. In his remarks, when he introduced the resolution in the Senate, Sen. Lee said:

At the UN’s inception in 1945, President Truman presented a choice between international chaos and the establishment of a world organization for peace. Yet, despite the UN’s existence, chaos abounds. Adversaries leverage their UN positions and the goal of peace is overshadowed by the ambition for supranational governance. The true hope for a peaceful world lies not in such global institutions but in the strength of our national sovereignty and the use of the strength of forge and continue to foster bilateral relationships around the world.

According to a press release from the office of Senator Lee, the DEFUND Act would:

  • Repeals critical acts that bind the U.S. to the UN, such as the United Nations Participation Act of 1945 and the United Nations Headquarters Agreement Act.
  • Ceases all forms of U.S. financial support to the UN, including assessed and voluntary contributions.
  • Prohibits any U.S. involvement in UN peacekeeping operations.
  • Revokes diplomatic immunity for UN officials within the United States.
  • Formalizes withdrawal from the World Health Organization and other UN conventions.
  • Sets stringent conditions for any future engagement with the UN, requiring Senate approval with explicit withdrawal provisions.

From the start, the UN was a project of the Deep State to achieve a one-world government. This goal is becoming increasingly apparent as the UN’s tentacles increasingly strangle the sovereignty of the United States and other countries.

It is imperative that Congress enacts H.R. 6645 and S. 3428, the Disengaging Entirely from the United Nations Debacle (DEFUND) Act. Please contact and urge your U.S. representative and senators to Get US Out! of the United Nations by enacting the DEFUND ACT (H.R. 6645 & S. 3428).
