Law of the Seas Treaty, Bush is for it
First, what is going on:
President Bush announced his intention to seek reintroduction of LOSTfor ratification to a small group of trusted Republican grass-roots organizers last week – an announcement that was met with horror and scorn.
Bad sign number one, without even having to read the treaty, is who is lining up against it (this should give any Conservative tremendous pause):
Eagle Forum leader Phyllis Schlafly, Center for Security Policy President Frank Gaffney, Leadership Institute President Morton Blackwell, Free Congress Foundation founder Paul Weyrich and leaders of the Heritage Foundation were quick to denounce the idea in forceful terms, calling on their members to begin lobbying the White House immediately.
And yes there are going to be many that will say it must be conservative because Bush is behind it and he is a Republican after all.
