Meryl, thank you for posting this. Months ago, I had tried to alerg my Congressional rep and my two Senators about this issue - and they were 100% ignorant about it, and although it was clear to me that this treaty would override US sovereignty, they were like - no, that will never happen, we have a Constitution, and I'm thinking, yup, we have a Constitution but it does not work if you sign away your sovereignty to the WHO. They knew nothing about it and didn't believe it. So I am thankful to have the sample letter. I know an attorney who goes to the UN for meetings, and asked him about it to get more details and help with a letter - he asked a staff member to get back to me, but never happened. So, it really is very important that yoiu have made this letter available. It is good they identified very specifically where the problematic language is and what Congress should be aware of. BUT - I am interested to know if anyone does know - when is the next time that this is going to come up? Now we are one week before Christmas, should letters be sent right at this moment? It's a busy time of year, and in the new year, some Senators and some Congressional reps will be gone, replaced by new ones. What I remember from when this came up in the recent past, there was goign to be a vote on this treaty in Geneva and then some of the Muslim nations said they would not go for this and they needed more time to consider etc. so it was stalled, which is awesome, but the idea was to just vote on it in Geneva at the World Health Assembly, and if all the nations accepted it there, it was a done deal, I thought, because they were "just amendments" to an existing treaty - yes, amendments that let WHO take over, totally, our pandemic supervision which means anything and everything - lock us down for months, cancel elections to keep us safe from a virus, bring in UN troops to supervise and "keep us safe." But - now - does anyone have any idea how soon a vote at the UN might come up, or how soon do we really need to write to our Senators and Congressional rep? Would appreciate any further input related to optimal timing of when we should be communicating on this, thank you.
