Vote #1: H.R.
1794: American Servicemembers Protection Act (voted on as H. Amdt. 31 to H.R.
1646).
Vote:
May 10, 2001
Sponsor: Rep.
Tom DeLay (R-TX)
This amendment
to the State Department appropriations bill provides legal protections to ensure
that American citizens, especially military personnel, are not prosecuted by the
UN’s International Criminal Court (ICC). The ICC, already established and underway,
is one of the greatest threats to American sovereignty.
The amendment
was passed 282-137.
Republicans
205-4; Democrats 76-132.
Pro-U.S.

#4: H. Amdt. 191 to H.R. 2500: An amendment to prohibit the use of funds for use
toward any U.S. contribution for UN peacekeeping operations.
Vote:
July 18, 2001
Sponsor: Rep.
Ron Paul (R-TX)
This amendment
would have eliminated U.S. funding in the appropriations bill for the support
of any United Nations peacekeeping missions. "U.N. peacekeeping" has
long been considered a dubious term. The U.N. often engages haphazardly in conflicts
of zero consequence to the U.S., yet expects U.S. lives to be risked in the fighting.
The amendment
was defeated 71-359.
Republicans
67-153; Democrats 3-205.

#2: H. Amdt. 33 to H.R. 1646: Amendment to strike funding for payment of funds
required by the U.S. to rejoin the U.N. Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization.
Vote:
May 10, 2001
Sponsor: Rep.
Tom Tancredo (R-CO)
This amendment
to the appropriations bill would have stricken funding and prevented the U.S.
from rejoining UNESCO. UNESCO is an educational program by which the U.N. seeks
to instill an anti-national sovereignty and pro-globalism mindset in children
around the world.
The amendment
was defeated 193-225.
Republicans
183-27; Democrats 9-197.

#5: H. Amdt. 190 to H.R. 2500: Amendment sought to eliminate the authorization
of funding for the United Nations or any agency affiliated with the U.N.
Vote:
July 18, 2001
Sponsor: Rep.
Ron Paul (R-TX)
This House
amendment would have eliminated U.S. funding for the U.N. and any UN-affiliated
agency under the appropriations bill. Its passage would have ensured that various
U.N. efforts that seek to undermine U.S. sovereignty would not receive American
taxpayer dollars.
The amendment
was defeated 62-364.
Republicans
56-164; Democrats 5-199.

Vote #3: H.
Amdt. 480 to H.R. 4546: Prohibiting funds from being used to assist, cooperate
with, or provide any support to the U.N. International Criminal Court.
Vote:
May 10, 2002
Sponsors:
Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX)
This amendment
would have prevented any funds authorized in the Defense Department appropriations
bill from being used to support the U.N.’s International Criminal Court (ICC)
in any way. The ICC is the U.N.’s attempt to supercede the authority of the U.S.
judicial system and possibly try U.S. citizens for politically spiteful reasons.
The amendment
was passed 264-152.
Republicans
204-8; Democrats 59-143.
