Support it or not – It’s a Good Bill

While reviewing current legislation being introduced in the House of Representatives, I cam across HR 3611. HR 3611, “Limiting the Intrusive Miles of International Terrorist Sponsors Act of 2009” is an example of a bill that is clear, concise, to the point, doesn’t contain any lengthy amendments, earmarks, or pork. This is what a good bill should look like. Sponsored by Representative Paul Brown (R) GA and co-sponsored by forty-seven representatives from both parties, this bill would restrict the diplomatic travel of officials and representatives of state sponsors of terrorism, and for other purposes. Basically, it keeps diplomats visiting the United Nations in New York from being able to travel outside of the immediate area of the United Nations Headquarters complex.

The bill is less than three pages long but if you take the time to read it on Thomas http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/z?c111:H.R.3611: you will see that it covers everything needed in simple, easy to understand language and is not cluttered up with useless information.

Although a bi-partisan bill, I doubt that the current Speaker of the House will ever allow a vote on it. Our State Department has routinely provided visas for over 8,000 suspect individuals over the past five years with very few restrictions. In addition to these individuals coming from countries who are extremely unfriendly towards the United States, no background check is ever done by the State Department. On a few occasions some of these persons were caught photographing and videotaping the New York City subway and other popular landmarks.

The United Nations has basically been a haven for third-world country dictators, military juntas, and other corrupt countries whose sole purpose is to exploit money from Western-style governments. The United Nations has been a corrupt organization for many years and should be thrown out of the Untied States. Every program they have sponsored has been full of fraud, waste, and abuse. Members are a bunch of elite socialists (at best), or a bunch of common thugs (at worst). This bill would at least keep those persons visiting the UN from straying and gathering intelligence to be used for subversive actions against the United States.

If your Representative is not on the list of sponsors, I recommend that you contact them and have them add their name as additional co-sponsor.
