The
following was written in April 2014, as part of a response to the
Campaign for Liberty's 2012 survey questionnaire for candidates
running for federal office.

Do you support U.S. withdrawal from the United Nations?
No;
although I support demilitarization of the United Nations, and will
support legislation that forbids U.S. troops from serving under
United Nations command, I am not at this time willing to
support total withdrawal
from the United Nations.
However,
I will not support the adoption of any international standards in
manners which subverts the the national sovereignty of the United
States of America. Additionally, I will support legislation to scale
back and eliminate U.S. military coordination with – and service
under – the United Nations.
I
do not believe that there is any urgent or pressing need to remove
the U.N. headquarters from the United States, nor to end our
involvement in the U.N. for domestic or diplomatic non-military
purposes.
I
do not support recalling our ambassadors from the U.N.. America
should utilize its presence at the United Nations Organization in
order to urge Pakistan, India, and the State of Israel to join the
U.N.'s nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and to allow inspections by
officials of the International Atomic Energy Agency. I will support
efforts to allow states to apply for U.N. membership in order to
achieve this if the federal government will not do so.
The
United States can and should continue to co-exist with the United
Nations, provided that it remains an optional framework
for international law and multilateral diplomacy, and under the
condition that the United Nations become demilitarized. The United
Nations is but one of the frameworks for international law, and U.N.
membership should not be compulsory upon any nation.
