    It's Congress's Job to Block the North American Union

    The story of how our nation's leaders are working to establish a North American Union (NAU) by building on the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America (SPP) is becoming better and better known. If you aren't aware of this developing merger of the United States with Mexico and Canada, you should read "Merger in the Making," a special issue of The New American magazine for Oct. 15, 2007 at http://www.thenewamerican.com/node/6230 .
     
    Back on January 22, 2007, Rep. Virgil Goode (R-Virginia) did the right thing and introduced House Concurrent Resolution 40, "Expressing the sense of Congress that the United States should not engage in the construction of a North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) Superhighway System or enter into a North American Union with Mexico and Canada." As of June 16, 2008, this bill has 48 cosponsors. Since passage in the House would take 218 votes, we need many more cosponsors to get this resolution out of committee and into the full House for a vote.
     
    Since Rep. Goode introduced HCR 40, there has been a NAU rebellion among the states. Twenty-one state legislatures have introduced resolutions in 2007/2008 asking Congress to block the NAU. Seven of these states have passed their anti-NAU resolution in both houses: Arizona, Idaho, Montana, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Texas, and Utah. Another three states have passed an anti-NAU resolution in one house: Alabama, Kansas, and Tennessee.
     
    So bottom line, 10 states have passed an anti-NAU resolution in one or both houses. This means state legislative bodies in 20% of our states have already gone on record asking Congress to withdraw the United States from the Security and Prosperity Partnership (SPP) and to block the development of the NAU.
