Block Bolton's Re-nomination as U.N. Ambassador!
Target: U.S. SenateSponsored by: Citizens for Global Solutions
John R. Bolton's appointment as United Nations Ambassador is coming to an end, and over the next few weeks, the Senate will be considering his re-nomination!
We believe in the importance of a stronger, more effective U.N. – one that the U.S. actively engages in, supports and utilizes. And our campaign last year to stop Bolton's nomination conveyed that message loud and clear because of supporters like you.
So when the Bush Administration couldn’t get a Senate vote on the Bolton nomination, President Bush was forced to appoint Bolton as our U.N. Ambassador using a constitutional loophole known as a "recess appointment.”
Together, we sent a clear message that we can do better than John Bolton.
It would be hard to do worse. Since arriving at the U.N. without widespread approval, Bolton has:
It is time to tell the world that the U.S. needs the U.N. - and the U.N. needs the U.S.! By stopping this re-nomination, we will make way for a new Ambassador that will advance U.S. foreign policy, improve the U.N., and respect America's time-honored tradition of working with others to solve global problems.
Sign the petition before the Senate makes a tragic mistake!

It would be hard to do worse. Since arriving at the U.N. without widespread approval, Bolton has:
- alienated our global allies;
- undermined U.S. foreign policy;
- missed countless opportunities to make the U.N. stronger and more effective;
- consistently clashed with the Secretary of State, undermining the State Department's work; and
- used heavy-handed tactics that have created anger and resentment towards the U.S.
It is time to tell the world that the U.S. needs the U.N. - and the U.N. needs the U.S.! By stopping this re-nomination, we will make way for a new Ambassador that will advance U.S. foreign policy, improve the U.N., and respect America's time-honored tradition of working with others to solve global problems.
