I hope that this is the right place to post the legislation. Here it is.
Resolution against President Obama Increasing Efforts with the UN to Pass Global Climate Change Laws
Whereas: Climate Change is still a debatable subject.
Whereas: The Climate Change legislation will most likely place tough regulations on businesses.
Whereas: Passing Climate Change legislation with the US being a participant will decrease our national sovereignty.
Therefore: President Obama should not increase efforts with the UN to pass global Climate Change legislation.
