"The Diagnosis" -
What's Ailing Us?
An Ill-Defined
Mission for Such a
Time as This
The original mandate
of the United Nation
was conceived in a
world recovering
from a series of
wars not terrorism
where nations fall
prey to terrorist
not controlled or
completely
authorized by
governments. As arms
are for sale to any
and all with money
from various
international
sources, controlling
conquering rogues
will be a challenge.
As fundamentalism
gains hold
regardless of the
religion, the desire
to control in the
name of one's
Supreme Being
presents a challenge
for a world or other
people who do not
share that view.
Whether in
Afghanistan, Rwanda
or Iraq, the UN's
ability to enforce
its own mandates and
policies are limited
by internal
political squabbles
and an imbalance of
power from those who
talk a good game but
have not committed
the troops,
financial backing or
other required
resources for the UN
to do its job.
The United States
with slightly less
than 300 million
people (4.6% of the
world population) is
small compared to
the populations of
China 1.3 billion
(20.1%), or India
1.1 billion (17.1%).
We rank third with
Indonesia at 4th
with 222 million
people (3.4% of the
world population.
million (3.4%).
Given its land mass
and available
natural resources
for its people, the
USA on the surface
appears to have more
room to accommodate
an influx of people
than other nations,
hence population
pressures are a
growing factor in an
unchecked illegal
immigration drive.
Even though this
nation is 4.6% of
the world
population, it
consumes 25% or more
of the total energy
production and other
resources. As a
result, many other
nations are
demanding equity in
the area of natural
resources, food, and
population supports.
Though people speak
of this nation as a
super power in terms
of its military
industrial complex,
we are also the
world super power in
terms of food
generation, markets
for the goods and
services of other
nations as well as
the back up first
responder for
international
emergencies and
disasters whether
natural or manmade.
Our constitution is
unique, in that it
starts, as Ronald
Reagan pointed out
“’We the People...’
not ‘We the
government...’" as
that of so many
other nations
reveal.

We'd love to hear from you.
Please share your concerns and tell
us how your elected officals can
better serve your needs and
interest. Also, please take the time
to forward this email to your
friends, family, neighbors and
co-workers by clicking the "Forward
Email" link at the bottom of this
email. In order to bring about the
change we need in the 12th District,
it's going to take all of us getting
the word out to "Get a Doctor in the
House!"
Sincerely,
Dr. Ada M. Fisher, MD

Formed in 1945, the
United Nations has
presently grown to
encompass 192 member
states. The names
and numbers of many
of its more famous
members and
governments has
changed with vivid
examples of
socialism,
communism, or
autocratic type
government failures
in The Socialist of
the Federal Republic
of Yugoslavia,
Czechoslovakia, The
United Soviet
Socialist Republic,
or the two Germanys.
The Preamble of the
UN speaks of the
need to end wars,
recognize human
rights, and honor
treaties engaged in
reflecting the needs
as well as
responsibilities of
its members. 
I remain unconvinced
that other nations
hate the United
States as much as
they envy us - what
we have and what we
have achieved.
Though our efforts
are not always as
successful as hoped,
we are a great
melting pot in which
some still haven't
blended. Other
nations have more
similarity in color
and language than do
we. This is why it
is crucial that we
have one recognized
language, English,
which binds us while
our compassion
remains a mark of
our greatness. The
UN is important but
should not be
allowed to trump the
great social
experiment in a
representative
democratic republic
which is the United
States of America.
Those who are
willing to submit to
the authority of the
UN too easily forget
that this body is
neither elected nor
immune to internal
corruption in the
food for oil scandal
which plagued a
family member of the
current secretary
general. The UN has
also proved
ineffective in
enforcing its
compliance
directives on
weapons of mass
destruction, getting
its members to pay
their fair share of
dues or censuring
those found in
violation of the
principles of its
charter. If given
too much power, this
non-elected body can
become its own world
government with no
accountability to
anyone.
