Wow! This is big! Go Hillary and Barack! (I never thought I would write that sentence)! Kudos also to Florida Congresswoman Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, Chair of the House Foreign Affairs committee, who demanded the action from the Executive Branch. Today the State Department announced that it will not make its scheduled $60 million payment to UNESCO in November, because of its vote to seat Palestine today as a full member. Two US laws prohibit funding. We fund UNESCO to the tune of $80 million per year. We fund the United Nations to the tune of $7.7 billion per year, so this is a start, but just a drop in the bucket.
