North American Union Moving Forward

This week, President Bush will be meeting with Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper and Mexican President Felipe Calderon at the Fairmont Le Chateau Montebello resort in Canada. The topic of discussion will be the Security and Prosperity Partnership. While the White House continues to dismiss the North American Union as a "silly conspiracy," documents obtained in FOIA requests suggest otherwise.

The Washington Times picked up this story on the front page today. I found one paragraph of this story specifically interesting.

"The White House dismissed suspicions of a coming North American Union as a 'silly' conspiracy theory. 'Americans are going to remain Americans, Canadians are going to remain Canadians and Mexicans are going to remain Mexicans,' a senior Bush administration official said on the condition of anonymity."

The irony? Even when the White House is trying to dismiss claims of the North American Union it has to use anonymous officials. Why didn't it come right out and say, this is not a plan to cede away American sovereignty? Because that would be denying the truth.

Worldnetdaily.com reported that 21 members of Congress sent a letter to President Bush urging him to open up the backroom deals being made about the SPP.


"The last paragraph of the letter called upon the president 'not to pledge or agree to any further movement in connection with the SPP at the upcoming North American summit.'

"The letter concluded that, 'in the interest of transparency and accountability, we urge you to bring to the Congress whatever provisions have already been agreed upon and those now being pursued or contemplated as part of this initiative, for the purpose of obtaining authorization through the normal legislative process.'

"Signatories to the letter included the following members of the House of Representatives:

  • Rep. Terry Everett, R-Alabama
  • Rep. Duncan Hunter, R-California
  • Rep. Tom Tancredo, R-Colorado
  • Rep. Ted Poe, R-Texas
  • Rep. Nancy Boyda, D-Kansas
  • Rep. Walter Jones, R-North Carolina
  • Rep. David Davis, R-Tenn.
  • Rep. Phil Gingrey, R-Georgia
  • Rep. John Boozman, R-Arkansas
  • Rep. John Duncan, R-Tenn.
  • Rep. Virgil Goode, R-Virginia
  • Rep. Tom Price, R-Georgia
  • Rep. Ginny Brown-Waite, R-Florida
  • Rep. Sue Myrick, R-North Carolina
  • Rep. Jo Bonner, R-Alabama
  • Rep. Gary Miller, R-Calif.
  • Rep. Steve King, R-Iowa
  • Rep. Greg Walden, R-Oregon
  • Rep. Michael Rogers, R-Alabama
  • Rep. Thaddeus McCotter, R-Michigan
  • Rep. Robert Aderholt, R-Alabama
  • Rep. Todd Akin, R-Missouri
Thankfully members of Congress and the media are picking up on this plan to cede away American sovereignty.
