World Government

Status Quo Option: Keep the Existing Plank. For all platform categories
we have the option of doing nothing; that is, accepting what the LP already
has.

The LP Platform Currently Reads
The Issue: Participation in any form of world or international government
threatens the sovereignty of the United States, its citizens and its Constitution.
The Principle: The sovereignty of individual rights is preserved only by
minimal government, and subservience to a world government is totalitarianism
of a more severe form than to a national government.
Solutions: We oppose U.S. government participation in any world or international
government. We support withdrawal of the United States government from, and
an end to its financial support for, the United Nations. We oppose any treaty
under which individual rights would be violated.
Transitional Action: Specifically, we oppose any U.S. policy designating
the United Nations as policeman of the world, committing U.S. troops to wars
at the discretion of the U.N., or placing U.S. troops under U.N. command.
[If you think the current LP position on this subject is acceptable, then
vote "yes" below. If not, vote "no" below. Either way, please consider the
other options listed on the right sidebar and vote "yes" for all that you
like and "no" for all that you dislike. This is an approval vote; you get
to vote for all of the options that you like.]
