Losing More Sovereignty with LOST the UN "constitution of the seas"

Soon to be up for ratification in the Senate will be LOST.  The UN Law of the Sea Treaty.  It basically grants the UN CONTROL OF EVERYTHING UNDER, ON,  and ABOVE the SEAS and OCEANS.   We need to wake up and remove ourselves from our complacency.  If LOST gets ratified, we will have lost more freedoms.  We won't have veto power like in the UN Council, we'll only have 1 vote within 150 other nations.

The United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea ... is perhaps one of the most significant but less recognized 20th century accomplishments in the arena of international law.... Its scope is vast: it covers all ocean space, with all its uses, including navigation and overflight; all uses of all its resources, living and non-living, on the high seas, on the ocean floor and beneath, on the continental shelf and in the territorial seas; the protection of the marine environment; and basic law and order.... The Convention is widely recognized by the international community as the legal framework within which all activities in the oceans and the seas must be carried out. ("25th Anniversary of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea," Oct. 17, 2007; emphasis added.)

United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), also known more simply as the Law of the Sea Treaty (LOST), says Lout's "scope is vast: it covers all ocean space, with all its uses, including navigation and overflight; all uses of its resources, living and non-living, on the high seas, on the ocean floor and beneath, on the continental shelf and in the territorial seas."

Hillary Clinton has said that she will push this for ratification in January of this year.  See the following video: Where she says the 
Hillary Clinton's testimony at her confirmation hearing before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on January 13. When Senator Murkowski asked Clinton, "Will ratification of the Law of the Sea Treaty be a priority for you?" Clinton answered: "Yes, it will be, and it will be because it is long overdue, Senator."
