So, my former excitement about the possibility of Sen. Kelly Ayotte is officially over. Why?! Because she is one of about 20 Senators who have agreed to approve Law of the Sea Treaty. They are joining democrats to uphold this treaty. It is a treaty that President Reagan was against citing it was going to impede our sovereignty as a nation.
Here are some links to read more about this: http://www.examiner.com/article/20-republicans-set-to-uphold-controversial-un-treaty http://action.letfreedomringusa.com/6792/tell-your-senators-to-oppose-lost/

I personally have tweeted all the Senators who are supporting LOST and asked them to oppose it. I have also sent emails via this link asking my Senators to oppose it, also. Although it is highly unlikely they will seeing as they are both democrats who tow the party line.
{Although, I do give Senator Schumer a little admiration ~ I have emailed him actively recently voicing my opposition to alot of legislation, and I actually get personal emails from him, giving me an explanation of where he stands, and I admire that. Don't agree with it most of the time, but I greatly the feedback from his office}
Another piece of legislation through the UN that will be hitting us this month is called the Arms Trade Treaty. Here is a great link telling what the ATT could mean for us in America and for our 2nd Amendment right to bear arms. ATT and Forbes. I signed a petition and sent it to my Senators and Congresswoman through this. And the scariest part of the ATT is this: Iran overseeing the ATT. If it wasn't so deathly serious, it would be laughable.
So, do your part! Become active, and involved. And don't let our country disappear without fighting for it!
