Your Tax Dollars at Work
The United Nations wants YOU to support the World Summit on Sustainable Development (WSSD). So, to pump up the crowd:
New York, 5 August - Johannesburg Summit Secretary-General Nitin Desai today commenced a tour of America's heartland aimed at building US support for the Summit, which will take place in Johannesburg, South Africa from 26 August to 4 September.



The four-city tour, from 5-8 August, will take Desai to Chicago, Denver, Minneapolis, and Houston where he will meet with a wide range of city officials, business leaders, environmentalists, and the press.

"There has been a huge amount of work at the city and local levels in many cities across the United States," Desai said, and it's time we teamed up with these partners to make the Johannesburg Summit, and the future of sustainable development, a success."
It's nice that the UN spends the US taxpayers' money to propagandize them. And I'm sure that Summit Secretary-General Desai isn't spending too much time at Motel 6.

Don't worry Nitin, we'll keep the lights on for ya!
