The U.S. Senate has been trying to pass the treaty since 1994. For those who object to it, there remain serious security and sovereignty concerns.

Also, there is an upcoming presidential election in which Barack Obama will want to avoid controversy surrounding the treaty as long as those concerns remain.

The Senate needs 67 votes to agree to the treaty and even supporters believe there is little prospect of obtaining that number.

Some 162 countries have signed up to the treaty since it was first introduced in 1982. However, President Ronald Reagan refused then to sign up to the treaty. President Bill Clinton did sign the treaty but even with changes the Senate didn’t provide an advise and consent vote on it.

That’s because the concerns raised then by Reagan in refusing to sign the treaty remain.

Considering how the health care bill got voted on, LOST may be found, sneaking in the back door, somewhere near a holiday or any event that takes our mind off of this legislation.

There should be a limit on how many times and during what time duration a treaty can be voted on. Globalists pushing the vote on a destructive treaty repeatedly means that there is a probability they will get their way at some point down the line.

They include the fact that while the treaty would give the United States even greater access to oil, minerals and precious metals found on the ocean floor beyond the 200-mile territorial limit, the issue of revenue in which the U.S. would have to pay a royalty on the wealth it obtains from deep-sea mining and drilling remains.

Critics of the treaty say that it would create what amounts to an international tax on the U.S. and offers a scheme to redistribute the nation’s wealth to the rest of the world without U.S. consent.

In effect, it would give the United Nations taxing authority over sovereign countries.
