Action Alert: Tell John Bolton to Cooperate with the Global Community & Stop Trying to Undermine the UN

Send a fax to US Ambassador to the UN, John Bolton, today, and tell him we want our government's face to the international world not to be that of a mean-spirited, aggressive bully but to be one that reflects the compassion and commitment to alleviating suffering and environmental devastation that the world has shown to the United States in the wake of Hurricane Katrina.

John Bolton US Mission to the UN Fax 212-415-4053 Email: usa@un.int Dear Ambassador Bolton, The World Summit should be an opportunity to seriously address critical global issues from poverty to global warming to war. We are, however, deeply disappointed with your positions that threaten to render the Summit meaningless. We urge you to use both this Summit and your position at the United Nations to demonstrate the commitment of the American people—especially in the wake of Hurricane Katrina—to alleviate poverty and counter global warming. The purpose of the Summit, as you know, included ensuring progress toward meeting the Millennium Development Goals of alleviating poverty, stopping the spread of HIV/AIDS, and reversing the loss of environmental resources. President Bush, most recently at the June G-8 Summit in Scotland, reaffirmed the U.S. commitment to these goals. Yet the hundreds of changes you proposed to the draft Summit document would delete nearly every concrete obligation in it. You expressly stated that the US will not commit to one of the key obligations: investing 0.7 percent of our Gross National Product in international assistance. Your administration has also refused to join the Kyoto protocols. Regarding HIV/AIDS, you recommended striking from the World Summit document the section that called on the pharmaceutical companies to make anti-retroviral drugs accessible to people in Africa with HIV/AIDS. While you have backed down on some of your initial demands that even close US allies were appalled by, many global leaders believe that the US agenda is not to reform the United Nations but to gut it. We urge you to prove otherwise by using the opportunity of this World Summit and your position as foremost US diplomat to affirm the desire of the American people to work cooperatively with the global community to alleviate human suffering and the devastation of our physical environment. Sincerely,

Thank you!
