Nullify the UN & WEF in Iowa With HF 1017

Why it Matters

URGENT: The Iowa House of Representatives passed HF 1017 in May 2025 by an 89-1 vote. It is now pending in the state Senate. Call your state senator, and urge him or her to support this important bill.

Legislation has been introduced in the Iowa Legislature to nullify the United Nations (UN) and World Economic Forum (WEF). It is imperative that legislators enact this bill and protect our God-given freedoms!

House File 1017 (HF 1017) is sponsored by the House Ways and Means Committee. It declares:

A rule, regulation, fee, tax, policy, or mandate of the United Nations, an agency of the United Nations, or the World Economic Forum is not binding on Iowa and shall not be enforced or implemented by the state or an agency, department, board, commission, political subdivision, or other entity of the state.

The policies emanating from the UN, WHO, and WEF are antithetical to the American form of government. For example, the UN’s Agenda 21/2030 plan seeks total control and regimentation of the entire planet, and prominent examples of its implementation include the global war on farmers, carbon-capture pipelines, and the transition toward “green” energy. The global body’s “Summit of the Future” advocated more power for the UN.

Furthermore, the WHO has been planning a major power grab to allow it to impose draconian restrictions, such as vaccine passports and other “health” measures, at a global level. This comes in the form of a proposed global “pandemic treaty” and in amendments to the International Health Regulations (IHR), which were agreed to in 2024. In addition to advancing medical tyranny, these changes would empower international bureaucracy at the expense of American sovereignty.

Article VI also states, “This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof … shall be the supreme Law of the Land.” (Emphasis added.) State legislators are required to uphold and implement only those laws that are “made in Pursuance” of the Constitution. Any laws not “made in Pursuance thereof” are therefore not the supreme Law of the Land and, as such, state legislators are under no obligation to enforce or carry out their provisions. Instead, they should interpose, or nullify, such laws within the boundaries of their state.

This stipulation applies to the treaty-making power. Treaties (including U.S. membership in the UN and WHO) must also be subject to, and bound by, the limitations of the Constitution.

In a letter dated September 7, 1803, then-President Thomas Jefferson wrote, “I say the same as to the opinion of those who consider the grant of the treaty-making power as boundless. If it is, then we have no Constitution.” This was further affirmed by the Supreme Court of the United States, in Reid v. Covert (1957).

Urge your state legislators to support HF 1017 and to push back against all other unconstitutional laws at every level of government.
