Stop the New START Now

Please read the article on “Morning Bell: The New Myths of New START” by author Conn Carroll that appeared in the November 22, 2010, issue of The Foundry of The Heritage Foundation located at the following URL: blog.heritage.org/2010/11/22/morning-bell-the-new-myths-of-new-start/?utm_source=Newsletter&utm_medium=Email&utm_campaign=Morning%2BBell.

President Obama has sworn to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States but never seems to do it.  Strictly for political reasons, he continually attempts to do things that would weaken the security of the United States.  Another in his long line of actions is that he want to pass the New START Treaty quickly (as usual).  Remember all of the quick legislation he got passed during the first two years of his first (and last) term?  All of them were disasters.  Now, he is attempting to ramrod through the passage of the New START Treaty through his lame-duck Congress before the new Congress takes over on January 3, 2011.  We must stop this madman from destroying the United States any longer.

To show you how much Obama is lying on this matter, here are all of the other matters that are presented in the linked article:

In his weekly address this Saturday, President Obama said about New START: “Some have asked whether it will limit our missile defense—it will not.” Forgive us for not taking this President at his word. This is the same President who said Americans could keep their doctor under Obamacare, the same President who promised a net spending cut, and the same President who promised that his economic stimulus plan would keep unemployment below 8 percent. The Senate considered the original START for nearly a year.  The Obama Administration took more than 12 months to negotiate New START but has sought approval from the Senate in less than five. And they still have not released the negotiating record. Just like Obamacare, they want votes without legislators knowing what they are voting for. If the case for New START is as strong as the Obama administration claims it is, than the White House should act like it and stop pushing for a lame duck vote.
