What Is The Law of the Sea Treaty?

This seldom works but I want to ask everyone to contact their senators in Washington and tell them to support the UN’s Law of the Sea Treaty.

If you don’t know already, this treaty is international in scope and so far, only the United States is not a signatory.

Countries of all kinds have ratified this UN treaty — and it gives every country that has ratified this treaty the right to claim square miles of seabed -where there are millions of tons of potato sized lumps of precious metal ores.

This is no joke — the United States currently has NO claim to the areas where these lumps of ore are located deep in the Pacific Ocean. China now has the largest area of mining rights and SHUTS OFF SUPPLIES wanted and needed by the Unite States when the U.S. moves to protect Taiwan.

Most important things you use every day — cell phones, computers, anything with a small electric motor — will no longer be available to YOU. The F-35 fighter has nearly one thousand pounds of these same rare earth metals. Without them, the U.S. can’t produce any of these most advanced jet fighter.

Twenthy REPUBLICAN senators are blocking ratification. Now you know what to do — MAKE THEM agree to the Law of the Sea Treaty
