Do You Know What's In The Law Of The Sea Treaty?

In a nutshell, LOST is an agreement that hands over control of the high seas and the ocean floor to a newly-created International Seabed Authority, a wholly owned subsidiary of the United Nations and the third-world, and signals the end of our right to sail the world in freedom!

According to the U.S. Constitution, if the Senate ratifies LOST, it becomes law.

That's why Ronald Reagan blocked it so many years ago. He knew exactly what it contained and said, "Over my dead body!"

According to Carrie E. Donovan of the Heritage Foundation, President Reagan had three major objections.

First , he objected to the International Seabed Authority (ISA), an organization designed to shake-down United States mining and maritime companies by requiring an application fee of $500,000, an annual fee of $1 million, and a percentage of profits -- up to 7 percent. These companies will be required to share their mining and navigational technology. In other words, the ISA would effectively have the power to tax American citizens and U.S. companies.

Second, Reagan understood the true purpose of restricting the world's supply of minerals by limiting access to the sea floor. It was to force nations to buy from land-locked, third-world countries.

And third, he objected to the establishment of a United Nations-style court to rule the waves and rule against the USA.

Reagan regarded himself as President of the United States rather than Savior of the Third World. He wasn't willing to surrender an inch of American sovereignty and would never condone forcing American corporations to kneel and pay tribute to a bunch of third-world despots.

We know today what President Reagan knew then. If this treaty is approved by the Senate, Americans will surrender freedoms they can never regain.

Tell them that, since Senate ratification of a treaty makes it U.S. law, passage of the Law of the Sea Treaty (LOST) will surrender our sovereignty to an organization controlled by third-world despots, dictators and international pirates at the United Nations. Fight this treaty! Scuttle LOST!
