       INTRODUCTION OF THE CITIZEN SOLDIER PROTECTION ACT OF 2006

                                 ______
                                 

                             HON. RON PAUL

                                of texas

                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, February 16, 2006

  Mr. PAUL. Mr. Speaker, today I am introducing the Citizen Soldier 
Protection Act of 2006. This legislation will protect our American 
soldiers from being forced to serve under a United Nations or other 
foreign command and from being forced to wear the insignia of the 
United Nations or other foreign states.
  Mr. Speaker, there have been instances where members of the U.S. 
Armed Forces were compelled, without lawful authority, to serve under 
United Nations or other foreign command and to wear as part of their 
military uniform visible indicia or insignia of the United Nations and 
foreign states. This is absolutely unacceptable, as the Constitutional 
role of the United States Armed Forces is to protect the United States 
of America. It is the responsibility of the U.S. Congress to ensure 
that the men and women who sign up for the noble duty of defending our 
country do not end up serving under a foreign flag or foreign 
commander. And American soldiers certainly should not be forced to 
serve the sovereignty-destroying plans of the United Nations!
  I hope my colleagues will join me in defending our men and women in 
uniform by cosponsoring Citizen Soldier Protection Act of 2006.
