The Failure to Defend the United States

Today, President Obama signed the START Treaty with Russia. This treaty specifies that as the numbers of nuclear arms decreases, the number of missile defense systems must also decrease.

All this while Russia is arming our enemies. Russia has recently signed agreements with Chavez for billions in military arms. Venezuela, by the way, is also asking for nuclear capability "for peaceful purposes" only, of course.

China has also been buying weapons from Russia.

And, Russia has been selling powerful missile defense systems (isn't this ironic, since Mr. Obama is planning to decrease ours?) to folks who are Not Our Friends--Syria, Saudi Arabia, Vietnam, Malaysia, etc.

The good news?

This treaty must be ratified by a two-thirds majority Senate vote.

I don't think this treaty can go through reconciliation--so WRITE YOUR SENATOR and oppose this treaty.
