MICHAEL NEW: Mercenary or American Soldier?

Dear Friends,

In January, 1993, I volunteered to serve my country by
joining the U.S. Army.

In January, 1996, I was court-martialed and thrown out of the
Army -- because I refused to server under the Anti-American United
Nations.

My friends, like plenty of men before me, I wanted to serve my
country bravely and honorably as an American soldier.

But, Bill Clinton had other plans for me.

He wanted to turn me into a United Nations mercenary.

You see, I was part of a group of American soldiers that
Bill Clinton ordered to Macadonia in late - 1995. But, Bill Clinton
did not want us to go as American soldiers. He wanted us to go as
U.N. Soldiers ... under the U.N. flag ... wearing baby-blue U.N.
uniforms ... carrying U.N. identification cards. And taking orders
from foreign officers who had sworn their allegiance to the U.N.

When I signed up for military service, I signed up to serve
my country. I was a good soldier -- a regular army medic who served
in Kuwait and earned several medals and citations for saving the
lives of fellow soldiers.

Like every good soldier, I was trained to obey the legal
orders of my superiors. But, Bill Clinton was now ordering me to
strip the patch of the American flag off my right shoulder and
replace it with the United Nations flag. He wanted me to take orders
from a U.N. General from Finland.

And Bill Clinton ordered me to carry a U.N. identification
card which labeled me as a U.N. soldier! Well, I just couldn't do it!

I had taken an oath to defend the American constitution ---
not the U.N. Charter. And, yes, I had taken an oath to obey any LEGAL
order from my superiors --- in accordance with the U.S. Military Code
of Justice.

But, after weeks of research, I determined that Bill
Clinton's orders were clearly ILLEGAL according to the Constitution
and the uniform code of military Justice.

Yes, I was willing to fight and die in service for my
country. But, it would be in an AMERICAN uniform ... under and
American flag ... taking orders from an American commander.

The final order came down. All soldiers in my battalion
were ordered to turn out in formation on October 10, 1995, wearing
the U.N. uniform.

On that sunny morning, 549 men turned out for our
battalion formation wearing the U.N. uniform. I was the only soldier
proudly wearing the authorized Battle Dress Uniform of the United
States Army.

A lieutenant ordered me out of formation and escorted me
to the commanding officer. The commanding officer then read me my
"rights". And that's when the historic legal battle began.

Because I refused to wear the illegal U.N. uniform, the
powers that be (probably Bill Clinton himself) court-martialed me.

They wanted to make an example of me ... to scare any
other soldier who might refuse to wear the U.N. uniform.

In July 1996, they forced me to leave under a bad conduct
discharge --- even though I was a decorated veteran with a spotless
military record. For the past two years, I've fought to regain my
good name.

On September 26, 1997, my case finally made it to the U.S.
Court of Appeals in Washington D.C. But the Court of Appeals refused
to rule on my case. So, my lawyers are now appealing my case all the
way to the Supreme Court.

Yes, my historic legal battle will decide whether American
soldiers are mercenaries who will be forced to wear the United
Nations uniform and take orders from foreign commanders ...

Or whether America is a sovereign country whose grave
soldiers will only fight under the American flag ... wearing American
uniforms ... and taking orders from American commanders. That is why
I can't give up my fight.

You see, this fight is not just about what happened to me
.. it's also whether future generations of Americans will serve the
United States or the United Nations.

I never imagined that two years after I refused to serve
as a soldier in the U.N. Army, I'd be involved in this historic legal
battle. The truth is, at the time, I fully expected to go to prison
for making my stand and I was prepared to pay that price.

But here I am today, involved in this historic legal
battle --- getting ready to take my case all the way to the Supreme
Court.

But quite honestly, I don't have the money to fight this
legal battle on my own. Right now, I'm working just to support my
wife, Claudia, and myself and I don't come from a rich family. My mom
and dad worked as Christian missionaries for most of my childhood.

So, I'm counting on individual patriotic Americans like
you to stand with me. Frankly, if caring folks like you won't help me
financially, Bill Clinton is going to win this case against me. And
if he wins, it won't be because he's right. He'll win by default
because I just won't have the money to fight him.

It's going to take hundreds of thousands of dollars to
fight this legal battle. So, won't you please help me?

Would you be gracious enough to send a check for $20 to the
Michael New Legal Defense Fund to help me?

If you can afford to send more --- maybe $50, $100, $200,
$500 or even $1,000 --- it would be a terrific blessing to me and to
American sovereignty.

Your gift of at least $20 will help me pay for paper,
stamps, travel expenses, legal costs --- whatever it takes to win
this battle. If you can afford to give at least $24, I'll send you a
FREE copy of a new book, "Michael New: Mercenary or American
Soldier?"

My father wrote this book with the help of a professional
journalist. In this 195 page book, you'll learn the behind-the-scenes
story of why I refused to wear the U.N. uniform .. how my case soon
became national news ... and where this historic case is now headed.

But no matter what you can afford to give --- whether it's
$20, $24, $35, $50, $100, $500 or more --- please send your generous
gift TODAY!

Remember, this fight is not just about me. It's about the
future and sovereignty of our great country.

For the Republic,

Michael New
