At the RLC we promote the preservation of the United States’ sovereignty and oppose any international laws or treaties that work to compromise or threaten that sovereignty. Our republican form of government is a sovereign power founded in the people, and represented individually; not in the collective or whole body of free citizens, as in a democratic form. Thus, no majority can deprive a minority of their sovereign rights and powers.

The international globalist bodies such as the United Nations (UN) and the World Trade Organization (WTO) are diligently working to erode America’s sovereignty by creating international organizations whose laws supersede those of the U.S. Congress. So called “free trade” agreements and world governmental organizations like the International Criminal Court (ICC), North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT), the WTO and Central American Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA) threaten our independence as a nation. They transfer power from our government to unelected foreign elites. It is through these trade agreements, that globalist bodies seek to circumvent and override the U.S. Constitution and the sovereign will of the American People.

America’s Founders never intended for our nation to become entangled in international globalist bodies and they certainly never intended to have our laws overridden by international bureaucrats. The UN is not concerned with our Constitution or our system of government. It is concerned only with expanding its power. The UN is currently seeking to impose a global tax and global gun control. Our Founding Fathers would likely argue that this is because disarmed nations will be that much easier to rule. Today, the UN has more power than anyone could have imagined 50 years earlier.

The RLC supports true free trade, which occurs in the absence of government tariffs. The WTO, however, represents the worst form of government-managed trade and our involvement in the WTO threatens national sovereignty. Simply stated, the WTO makes trade relations worse by giving foreign competitors a new way to encroach upon U.S. jobs. By maintaining membership, the WTO organization can begin to dictate our environmental, labor, and tax laws. We should never change our national laws at the behest of any international organization.

In addition to the UN and the WTO, The International Criminal Court (ICC) wants to try our soldiers as war criminals. Both the WTO and CAFTA could force Americans to get a doctor’s prescription to take herbs and vitamins consequently banning alternative treatments.

NAFTA’s superhighway is one part of a plan to erase the borders between the U.S. and Mexico, called the North American Union. This spawn of powerful special interests would create a single nation out of Canada, the U.S. and Mexico, with a new unelected bureaucracy and money system. The RLC supports and actively seeks the withdrawal from any organization and trade deal that infringes upon the freedom and independence of the United States of America.

The choice is very clear; we either follow the Constitution or submit to UN global governance. American national sovereignty cannot survive if we allow our domestic laws to be crafted or even influenced by an international body. This needs to be stated publicly more often. If our current path continues, America as we know it will cease to exist.
