Unlike the European Union, in which there was much discussion and debate by elected officials and citizens, the plan for a North American Union is being enacted by bureaucratic stealth. The Security and Prosperity Partnership, SPP, was included in the President's "comprehensive" immigration reform bill that failed in the U.S. Senate.

HR 40 was filed in the U.S. House in order to stop implementation of the SPP, but it hasn't seen the light of day.

IF the naysayers were correct that the SPP is "nothing more than an ongoing discussion among Canada, the United States, and Mexico intended to coordinate terrorism efforts, facilitate trade, and reduce market distortions," then WHY is it not being discussed and debated by the U.S. Congress?

WHY did President Bush unilaterally agree to the SPP with former-Mexican President Vincente Fox, and former-Canadian Prime Minister Paul Martin, in Waco, Texas, on March 23, 2005, rather than present it to the U.S. Congress for discussion and debate? WHY is the separation of powers being ignored?

WHY have dozens of "working groups" been created within the U.S. Department of Commerce to implement the SPP, yet the names of persons on those working groups kept secret, so that their work is not disrupted?

WHY are the heads of state or their representatives of the 3 nations meeting annually to discuss progress of the SPP, that is to be fully implemented by 2010?

WHY is security being discussed around the perimeter of the three nations, rather than at our borders? Are the U.S. borders with Mexico and Canada no longer significant? Is that the reason WHY "comprehensive" immigration reform must include AMNESTY for illegal aliens? Is the purpose of the Trans-Texas Corridor to merge transportation with Mexico and Canada to accommodate the SPP?

HOW do these bureaucrats plan to overcome the abject poverty caused by the GROSS CORRUPTION of the Mexican government? The U.S. Senate bill that was filed to force U.S. taxpayers to FUND Mexican infrastructure, broadband and education would have enabled it to continue at YOUR expense. The approximate $30 billion that illegal aliens in the U.S. send back to Mexico annually props up their CORRUPT government.

Members of the European Union are now realizing that their sovereignty has been eliminated by the E.U. and the Euro. Drastic changes that have been forced in their immigration laws because of the E.U. and have rendered them defenseless to the masses immigrating from the Arab world is presenting its own problems.

At the many U.N. meetings I've attended since 1995, I have watched the E.U. decide for its members, which has rendered individual nations' votes moot.

These are questions based upon factual evidence, that deserve truthful answers. What do the presidential candidates have to say about this?

P.S. I highly recommend the book by Dr. Jerome Corsi entitled The Late Great U.S.A. for the rest of the story. It's on the NY Times bestseller list, and is hard to find in bookstores because it is selling fast. You'll remember Corsi as the co-author of the book about the swift boat veterans against John Kerry.

EAGLE FORUM AND OTHERS RALLY AGAINST CREATION OF NORTH AMERICAN UNION

Grassroots campaign intended to de-fund the federal Security and Prosperity Partnership.

The Texas Eagle Forum has launched a grassroots campaign this week to oppose additional funding of the Security and Prosperity Partnership, a trilateral dialogue that some conservative groups consider to be the first step toward a North American Union.

This is the point where most liberals roll their eyes, but conservative groups take the threat of a New World Order - or the merging of commerce and transportation between Canada, the United States, and Mexico - to be a real threat. President Cathie Adams, who sent out an e-mail alert to her state membership on Tuesday, has heard the charges of conspiracy theories - the snickers about black helicopters - but is still resolute in her opposition to actions that would support the SPP.

"I know people talk about black helicopters," Adams admitted. "What I do is explain the facts. I tell people that this effort has not gone through the typical process. It's addressed in federal law - it was even addressed in the comprehensive immigration reform bill - yet when people talk about SPP as being a real entity, they're accused of talking about black helicopters. Elected officials and their appointees just don't want to discuss it."

The Justice-Commerce appropriations go to the floor of the House this week, Adams said. Texas Eagle Forum will support an amendment by Presidential hopeful U.S. Representative Tom Tancredo (R-Colorado) that would strip funding of the Security and Prosperity Partnership from the current budget. According to his press releases, Tancredo considers the SPP to be an effort to undermine United States sovereignty.

Tancredo, for the record, also was front and center during the national immigration debate, calling immigrants "a scourge that threatens the very future of our nation." Colorado has passed some of the toughest anti-immigration legislation in the country.

Criticism of a federal move toward a North American Union is not limited to Washington. The Eagle Forum was quite vocal about its opposition to the Trans-Texas Corridor at an anti-toll summit early in the session, saying that the road was just one more step towards a common transportation system. Various speakers have echoed those concerns, from time to time, before the Texas Transportation Commission.

If you look at the government website, the Security and Prosperity Partnership is nothing more than an ongoing discussion among Canada, the United States, and Mexico intended to coordinate terrorism efforts, facilitate trade, and reduce market distortions.

Critics make various claims about the SPP that the government disputes: That it's an agreement, or treaty, signed in 2005. That it would merge Canada, the United States, and Mexico into one union with one currency and a NAFTA highway. That SPP is being driven by the Department of Commerce, and funded without knowledge of Congress. And that the agreements under the effort will supersede NAFTA. The government disputes all those charges at its SPP website.
