Newt on Agenda 21 and the UN: First Executive Order of a Gingrich Administration to cease all federal funding of the UN and Agenda 21 type activities
By Jim Campbell
Each year, Congress must pass legislation to fund the activities and obligations of the U.S. government. In Fiscal Year 2011, U.S. funding to the UN included $1.887 billion for peacekeeping operations, $516 million for the regular budget, and $354 million for agencies that the U.S. contributes to but is not an assessed contribution, such as the UN Children’s Fund (UNICEF) or the World Health Organization (WHO). The U.S. is the largest contributor to the UN, UN peacekeeping, and UN agencies, paying almost a quarter of the UN regular and peacekeeping budgets.
In January this year, the Republican led House of Representativeshas begun looking at cutting our funding to the UN. It may take an Executive Order as Newt proposes to get the US out of the UN and the UN out of the US.
