LOST: U.S. senators' spines

Call your senators (202-224-3121) and ask each of them for their position on the Convention on the Law of the Sea. Ten-to-one says that a young, well- tutored voice will say something like: "We don't have a statement on that," or "the senator has not taken a position yet," or "the senator is still studying the issues."

What happened to: "He opposes it," or "he supports it"?

This Convention on the Law of the Sea has been kicking around since Ronald Reagan kicked it out of his administration. Bill Clinton had the treaty reworked, and asked the Senate to ratify it. The Republican Senate refused. George Bush asked the Senate to ratify it during his first term; the Senate refused. Now, the administration is again pushing for ratification. Any senator who has not yet decided whether to support or oppose this treaty should not be in Washington. WorldNetDaily.com, October 13, 2007
