Last Friday, Citizens for Global Solutions CEO Don Kraus was quoted in an article by Jim Lobe from Inter Press Service on Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen’s extreme anti-U.N. legislation that was introduced in late August.

When asked about why organizations like Citizens for Global Solutions are fighting so hard against a bill that will not become law, Kraus said,

“It sets the agenda not only for House Republicans, but potentially many of the Republican presidential candidates and Congress in 2013. As extreme and misguided as this proposal is, worse ideas have taken a life of their own when not addressed immediately and seriously at their inception.”
