Representative Mike Kelly Today the People’s House is taking a stand for national sovereignty where the White House failed to do so. The Arms Trade Treaty is a clear threat to the Constitutional rights of all Americans and should never have been signed. Todays bipartisan letter -- signed by 181 Representatives -- makes it absolutely clear to President Obama and his cabinet that the United States Congress will not support any implementing legislation to give this dangerous treaty the legs it needs to take effect. We will also oppose any efforts by this administration or future ones to implement or enforce this treaty through executive action. The liberty of the American people and the independence of the United States are far too sacred to ever be sacrificed at the altar of a dysfunctional global institution like the United Nations. For the sake of our freedom at home and our strength abroad, this fight must continue.
