Speaking of Ron Paul and the RLC

Here is the actual report on how things went on his UNESCO amendment:

July 8, 2004

It's hard work, sometimes daunting, to build a "freedom bloc" in the U.S. House
of Representatives. We know all the setbacks and how the system works against
us, so it is truly uplifting when we earn an unexpected victory.

Such a boost to moral came yesterday when our efforts produced a victory in the
voice vote on Congressman Ron Paul’s amendment to stop United States' funding of
UNESCO. Thanks to thousands of Liberty Committee activists contacting their
U.S. representatives, we had more of our "warriors" on the floor of the U.S.
House -- ready to vote to get out of UNESCO -- than did our opponents. When the
vote occurred, we could actually hear the voice of Liberty Caucus member Tom
Tancredo rising above all others to lead the way!

Our ability to rally the faithful is just one example of the power of working
together. For once, the system worked in our favor, and we will take that
victory as a sign of things to come as we continue to build and fight for
liberty.

The losing side in a voice vote has the right to call for a second vote -- a
recorded vote -- and did so on the UNESCO question. By the time of the recorded
vote hours later that night, the internationalist forces had rounded up enough
cohorts to defeat Congressman Paul's amendment. But every Liberty Caucus member
held firm and voted in favor of the Paul amendment.

What's more, when Dr. Paul's amendment that would stop the United States'
funding of the United Nations came up, we won more votes in favor of getting the
U.S. out of the U.N. than ever before. We are still not strong enough to carry
the day; the final tally was 83 ayes, to 335 noes -- but that is a 12% increase
over the last such vote. Congressmen John Shadegg and Pat Toomey were the only
Liberty Caucus members to break ranks and vote against America's independence
from the United Nations.

Of course we have work to do, but we are in this for the long haul. You make
our victories possible. Along the way, it is important to look at the tangible
results our strategy and combined efforts produce, take heart, and prepare to
fight another day.
