(I'm not sure how complete this "New Room" item is, I found it at the Republican Jewish Coalition website, a link to the actual press release is at the bottom of this, plus a link to page where I found this link. Note: This website has some odd code, that will not allow a direct link to this "Newsroom" article, the link below will take you to page where you then have to click the "In the News" link, then the "UN Reform Act of 2005 introduced in House" link.

Office of Congressman Henry Hyde (R-IL)
UN Reform Act of 2005 introduced in House

Wednesday, June 8, 2005 U.S. Rep. Henry J. Hyde (R-IL) today formally introduced the U.N. Reform Act of 2005 and announced that the House International Relations Committee will begin consideration of the bill on Wednesday.

“No observer, be they passionate supporter or dismissive critic, can pretend that the current structure and operations of the UN represent an acceptable standard,” said Hyde, chairman of the committee. “Even the UN itself has acknowledged the need for reform and, to its credit, has put forward a number of useful proposals for consideration. But it cannot be expected to shoulder this burden alone. And none who care about the UN would want it to.”

“All of us are supportive of the UN’s role in facilitating diplomacy, mediating disputes, monitoring the peace and feeding the hungry. But we are opposed to legendary bureaucratization, to political grandstanding, to billions of dollars spent on multitudes of programs with meager results, to the outright misappropriation of funds represented by the emerging scandal regarding the Oil-for-Food program. And we rightly bristle at the gratuitous anti-Americanism that has become ingrained over decades,” Hyde said.

“Republican and Democratic administrations alike have long called for a more focused and accountable UN budget, one that reflects what should be the true priorities of the organization, shorn of duplicative, ineffective, and outdated programs. Members on both sides of the aisle in Congress agree that the time has come for far-reaching reforms,” Hyde added.

I found this link at this link: <http://fornits.com/anonanon/> while resurching Melvin and Betty Sembler. Melvin Sembler - Cofounder of Straight Incorporated, was appointed Ambassador to Australia after donating $100,000 plus political currency to George Bush's successful presidential campaign. Melvin is currently the Finance Chairman for the Republican party and has recently founded the Tampa chapter of the Republican Jewish Coalition. I wonder if these folks understand how Mel defines the term 'successful adolescent drug rehabilitation program called STRAIGHT' that he brags about in his bio.

Betty Sembler - was a founding member of Straight, Inc., a non-profit drug treatment program that successfully treated more than 12,000 teens and adolescents with drug addictions. She serves on the national board of directors of PRIDE (Parents' Resource Institute for Drug Education) and DARE (Drug Abuse Resistance Education) and DARE International. Mrs. Sembler is the co-founder and president of the Drug Free America Foundation (fka Straight Foundation, fka Straight Inc.. and the founder and president of Save Our Society From Drugs (S.O.S.). She also sits on the board of Multijurisdictional Counterdrug Taskforce Training; the premier law-enforcement militirization project initiated by Buddy Sembler and headed by George Bush during the Reagan Administration.

doubtful if both of these got through, scary if they did.

One more example of the US arrogance. "screw the rest of the world, we will own the UN!"

Moron* and his room full of dopes strike again.
