You tube : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6xy5_L1vJKQ
Glen Beck interviews Lord Monckton on the Climate Treaty
( This video stated that in the Treaty, there was ref to a One World Government, a few times & basically in signing the Treaty, USA would be under this One World Govt. Once signed there also appeared no exit clause to the Treaty.
It also stated that climate change was being used as a vehicle to place USA under this One World Govt. AND basically that the majority of people are unaware that this is even happening.)
OR one of the following quotes
1. A quote from Thomas Jefferson
"When the people fear the Government, there is tyranny; when the Government fears the people there is liberty"
2. "The first step toward victory, is to recognise the enemy"
3. A quote from Benjamin Dislaeli - English Statesman 1844
"The world is governed by different personages from what is imagined, by those who are not behind the scenes"
4. From 'Zeitgeist' (2007) Quote by Franklin D. Roosevelt US President 1933
"The real truth of the matter is that a financial element in the large centres, has owned Government since the days of Andrew Jackson."
UPDATE 18.11.2009 : Interesting ! The video has been removed from You Tube, apparently due to "terms of use violation."

Jesann,
I'm just now taking a look at your contest, which is very intriguing. I wish I knew more about the Treaty, as I'm one of those people who've never heard of it, either... Only four entries? WOW. Will you be extending it past Nov 22, to allow for more people to enter their poetry? Just wondering... 
Peace,
Cyn
