Your help is needed. Funding for the United Nations is in jeopardy this year in part because of America’s fiscal woes. Some in Washington think that cutting funding to the U.N. will help our country but this could not be further from the truth. The U.N. is a critical U.S. foreign policy ally and a fiscally sound way to promote security and prosperity throughout the world. Write and/or phone our elected officials and let them know you want our country to maintain its leadership role in supporting the vital work of the United Nations. To do otherwise would damage the essential services provided by the U.N., hurt our image abroad, and set a terrible precedent for others.
