Sign the Petition to Slash UN Funding!

Dear Fellow American, Our politicians continue to pour your tax dollars into the United Nations. When will they learn that the American people are sick and tired of throwing billions of dollars into this black hole of waste, fraud, and abuse?! [DCLogoAlphaSmall] A message from our sponsor [Waste Watchers]( Dear Fellow American, Our politicians continue to pour your tax dollars into the United Nations. When will they learn that the American people are sick and tired of throwing billions of dollars into this black hole of waste, fraud, and abuse?! [Please sign the National Petition ordering Congress to slash U.S. funding of this wasteful, bloated, anti-American bureaucracy. Washington needs to hear from you right now.]( [Sign the Petition]( The Council for Citizens Against Government Waste has been battling out-of-control spending and taxes since 1984. But nothing gets on our nerves more than the federal government wasting billions and billions of our tax dollars to prop up the den of bureaucrats, crooks, dictators, and thieves at the UN who propagandize and work against America’s security and economic interests. Enough is enough! With Donald Trump in the White House, we continue to have an unprecedented opportunity to drastically slash U.S. funding of the corrupt and wasteful United Nations. In fact, beginning in 2017, the Trump Administration scaled back the U.S. contribution to the UN’s peacekeeping budget, and the administration negotiated a $285 million reduction in the UN’s 2018-2019 operating budget. This was a much-needed down payment toward reducing our UN funding. But to make significant cuts to the more than $10 BILLION that the U.S. spends on the UN each year, Congress must act. We need to telegraph to our lawmakers that this is a top priority for American taxpayers, which is why I need your signature right now! [Just click here to sign the National Petition to Congress. We must act quickly to capitalize on the President’s progress and ensure that Congress doesn’t send yet another giant check to the UN.]( The more than $10 BILLION Americans pay to the UN each year includes $3.5 billion in mandatory dues and about $7 billion in “voluntary payments” for special UN programs and funds. American taxpayers pay as much as 25 percent of all UN expenses. In fact, we pay more than all of the other permanent members of the Security Council COMBINED! [This waste of our tax dollars must stop. Please sign your Petition now.]( Here is what you are getting for your money: - The UN’s World Health Organization routinely has spent about $200 million a year on travel expenses – more than what it dedicates to fighting AIDS, hepatitis, tuberculosis, and malaria combined; - The late UN Secretary General Boutros Boutros-Ghali admitted that “perhaps half of the UN workforce does nothing useful”; - Third World dictators routinely fly to UN headquarters in New York to attack our great country and undermine our national interests on our own soil; and, - UN-funded “peacekeeping” troops have abused the people they are supposed to be protecting and created a deadly and costly cholera epidemic in Haiti that sickened nearly 1 million people! Congress must slash funding for the UN. American taxpayers should not be paying for this waste and corruption. [Sign your Petition right now. It is one of the most powerful ways you can express your anger at how the UN is ripping off American taxpayers.]( The leadership in Congress and President Trump need to know that this issue is of the utmost importance to the American people. Especially right now, as our government continues to run massive deficits. [Just click here.]( And please, please ask everyone you know to sign this National Petition as well. If we don’t stand up now, Congress will continue sending billions upon billions to the UN year after year and wasting our tax dollars supporting our enemies abroad. That’s how things work in Washington. And it’s got to stop. [Sign your Petition. Tell Congress to stand up to the wasteful status quo and slash funding for the UN.]( Thank you for all of your help.
