After learning of the Brexit vote, Massie posted an image of the cover of the bill H.R. 1205 with the caption, “Time for #amexit? I’m a cosponsor of H.R. 1205 to get the US out of the UN. #brexit”

As of Friday afternoon, the post was shared in excess of 7,500 times. One curious visitor asked why getting out of the UN would be a good thing. Massie wrote, “In one word, Sovereignty. As a member of the UN, we bind our citizens to decisions made by undemocratic countries, when in fact our constitution should be the supreme law.”

If all in Congress thought along those lines, we would all be better off. Since then, Massie has had other posts discussing the bill and his progress in getting other cosponsors. In one post, he writes, “In response to overwhelming interest in the bill to ‪#‎amexit from the UN, here is the full text of HR 1205, the American Sovereignty Restoration Act. Among other things, this bill would

(1) stop US payments to the UN,

(2) prevent US Armed Forces from serving under UN command,

(3) terminate diplomatic immunity for foreign UN members in the US,

(4) get the UN out of the US, i.e. close the headquarters in NY,

(5) terminate US membership in the UN, WHO, UNESCO,

(6) repeal the United Nations Environment Program Participation Act.

‪#‎brexit #amexit ‪#‎UNexit ‪#‎americout”

We had planned on giving you the text of the Declaration of Independence, with some words of encourgement on defeating the free trade deals. However, after learning of Massie’s efforts, let’s post the entirety of his bill below with the encouragement that you thank him, the main sponsor, and all the cosponsors, as well as contact your congressman to sign on as a cosponsor. To preserve American independence, the US must get out of the United Nations and the UN out of the US. Use our newest alert to do just that. Be sure to let others know through social media, too! If we are to break the back of the globalists, it begins with getting out of the UN. While you’re at it, be sure to let them know about stopping the free trade deals, too.

Let’s follow Britain’s lead and get these globalists off our back. It’s time to restore American liberty. It’s time to trigger #AMEXIT!
