May, 2012 -- New polling data released by
the United Nations Foundation and its
sister organization, the Better World
Campaign, demonstrates that across party lines the majority of American
voters support a strong relationship between the United States and the
United Nations.
More than 8 in 10 American voters say it is important for the U.S. to maintain
an active role in the UN, and 64 percent of those polled favor the U.S.
paying its dues to the UN on time and in full, including majorities of
Republicans, Independents, and Democrats. This is a strong recognition
of how important it is that the U.S. not have to go it alone in an increasingly
complex world. More at ... www.betterworldcampaign.org

law enforcement for the Oklahoma Department of Labor. You can read
about his award on our website, www.una-okc.org/public_service.

manner in which the employee's efforts help to illustrate the global
community's common commitment to "social progress" and "better
standards of life."
