Maybe I don't want to go home after all

The Utah House of Representatives voted 2/2 "to urge Congress to withdraw" from the UN, arguing the international organziation "was a threat to American sovereignty." The nonbinding resolution favors "freeing the nation from a large financial burden and retaining the nation's sovereignty to decide what is best for the nation and determine what steps it considers appropriate as the leader of the free world in full control of its armed forces and destiny." Rep. Scott Daniels (D) of Salt Lake City (Foothill area) "said it drives his constituents crazy when the Legislature gets bogged down in issues that have nothing to do" with state government. Daniels: "A message I get from them a lot is, 'What are you doing up there? We have taxes to think about. We have important state issues. Why do I read that the Legislature is discussing the United Nations or the war in Iraq or whether Jell-O should be our state dessert?'"
