Thanks, dinamic, for a good find. Here's a related piece. Remember to ask: who profits?

North American Union to Replace USA?

"President Bush is pursuing a globalist agenda to create a North American Union, effectively erasing our borders with both Mexico and Canada. This was the hidden agenda behind the Bush administration's true open borders policy.

Secretly, the Bush administration is pursuing a policy to expand NAFTA politically, setting the stage for a North American Union designed to encompass the U.S., Canada, and Mexico. What the Bush administration truly wants is the free, unimpeded movement of people across open borders with Mexico and Canada.

President Bush intends to abrogate U.S. sovereignty to the North American Union, a new economic and political entity which the President is quietly forming, much as the European Union has formed.

The blueprint President Bush is following was laid out in a 2005 report entitled "Building a North American Community" published by the left-of-center Council on Foreign Relations (CFR). The CFR report connects the dots between the Bush administration's actual policy on illegal immigration and the drive to create the North American Union:"

Liberty Post is sponsoring active opposition to the North American Cooperative Security Act at: http://www.usalone.com/cgi-bin/petition.cgi?pnum=158

Our Canadian neighbors aren't too thrilled by this initiative, and for very sound reasons. "The real threat is that Canada is being integrated with the USA. As time goes by in the new millenium, Canadians are showing more and more willingness to DIS-ASSOCIATE ourselves from the USA. We do not share their values of torture,global wars, invading soveriegn nations without an invitation, and other foriegn policy crimes.

So, we certainly don't want to become more integrated with them. Not now, and not until they demonstrate a conncetion to their stated values and their actual performance. Canada believes in democracy, and America has lost its democratic charachter under the Bush administration. We cannot risk closer association with them or we will lose ours also."

Lou Dobbs took up the topic, too. Look for "Christine Romans has the report" about 1/4 down the page. The target date is 2010. Robert Pastor, who was on the Task Force on North America said: "The best way to secure the United States today is not at our two borders with Mexico and Canada, but at the borders of North America as a whole."

Bear in mind that the Task Forces' mission is to plan for implementation of the Security and Prosperity Partnership (SPP).

Here's a comprehensive list of the specific changes being pursued.

According to World Net Daily, there are no congressional committees involved in oversight of this initiative and both Canada and Mexico have governmental offices similar to the US' for coordination and implementation.

Lou Dobbs just reported that Dubai still owns 22 U.S. ports! I thought we won that one.

Now the congress wants to allow our airlines to be bought by any foreign company or government with the money to pay for them!

Why don't we PRIVATIZE the congress? Oh wait that goes to the guys with the most money already, never mind.

It's a major blow to US jobs and labor unions.

Homeland Security? What friggin Homeland Security?
The containers will be checked electronically by the "SENTRI"
system as the trucks speed by in the fast lane?!?
This is a smugglers dream highway.

How many acres of wilderness will be destroyed to make room for
a highway "four football-fields-wide" ?

and last but not least the planning of this monstrosity

that has been going on without any new congressional legislation directly authorizing the construction of the planned international corridor through the center of the country.

Tonight on Lou Dobbs he is going to do a report on the alliance between the U.S. , Mexico and Canada, maybe we will get some moree information about it.

The "agreement" that excluded congress includes protecting Mexico's southern boarder! I think that wall that we are building between the U.S. and Mexico is a gigantic waste of money. Soon there won't be any use for it, when we are all one country.

The way they are doing this, is absolutely insulting.

Look at this release from John Edwards:

Chapel Hill, North Carolina – Senator John Edwards today criticized the Bush administration's open-highways initiative that would allow Mexican trucks to travel freely within the United States. The initiative is expected to go into effect this week, unless it is blocked on Wednesday by the Department of Transportation's Inspector General.

Edwards released the following statement:

"Our trade policies should put workers and families first. Opening America's highways to Mexico's long-haul diesel trucks puts American jobs and safety at risk. The Department of Transportation has the power to block the program. I urge them to use it.

"Multinational corporations and their Washington lobbyists greased the way to extend NAFTA onto American highways and streets, without regard for the impact on the environment or on the safety of America’s workers and families. Last month, an audit found that the database used to monitor Mexican drivers with license convictions - known as the '52nd State System' - has failed to record thousands of convictions. Mexican diesel trucks will not be required to meet the stricter emissions standards of states like California."

Under the NAFTA-related open-highways initiative, two Mexican trucking companies are initially expected to participate, with 22 more Mexican trucking companies rolling on American roads within a month. Congress passed a law in May requiring that the Bush administration certify that safety and other reporting systems have been implemented before the borders are opened under the new initiative.

I appears that an Edwards administration would ensure that this plan never came to fruition!!

Once again the Supremes go against the American worker in favor of the Bush administration and those who operate policy.

SAN DIEGO (AP) -- California truckers and state Attorney General Bill Lockyer said Monday they were disappointed with the U.S. Supreme Court's decision to allow Mexican truckers more access to U.S. highways.

The high court rejected appeals from labor and environmental groups that argued Mexican trucks pollute and are unsafe, ruling unanimously that the Bush administration can open U.S. roadways to Mexican trucks as soon as it wishes.

Rep. Kucinich Denounces Opening of NAFTA Superhighway

Dennis Kucinich, Ohio Congressman and Democratic Presidential candidate, recently issued the following statement about the Bush administration's plans to give Mexican trucks unlimited access to U.S. highways.

If my colleagues in the Congress had had the common sense to see what a disaster NAFTA was going to be for American workers and citizens in general, we wouldn't be in this position right now. That's why I am the only Democratic candidate for the Presidency who has called for the outright repeal of NAFTA, rather than the kind of near-sighted, half-hearted "tinkering" that the other Democratic candidates have proposed.

I support the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, the Sierra Club, and Public Citizen in their legal challenge opposing this latest travesty in a "free trade" policy that has wiped out millions of American jobs and now poses an even further threat to Americans' safety and security.

That's why I am also opposed to the NAFTA Superhighway that the Bush Administration and its allies are pushing privately, and even secretly.

The time to make the right decision is before the decision is made. Since that wasn't done, all of us have to use every resource at our disposal to stop the wrong decisions from hitting the highways.

Dove, just wanted to let you know how the bridge fell in Minnesota. Pigeon poop. They said they never kept it washed off underneath the bridge. It must be very acidic and been there for years. There was huge build up of it under there and weakened the structure. That's what we heard on our local radio station, KGO.

Yes, Kwahlf, this IS an insane idea. We heard they start it today. I hope this can be blocked. Thanks for posting that John Edwards press release. I've been hoping there are people against this issue.

Yesterday I read about how the military accidently flew nuclear weapons across the U.S. just last Thursday. Now today is the first day Mexican truck drivers can come in and drive our roads free and clear. At the same time our own American truck drivers feel it is too dangerous to drive their trucks into Mexico. Then this morning on CNBC I heard Allan Hubbard say to the hosts of the business channel that it is all Congress's fault nothing is getting done. He said they just don't get much off the ground. Then he said the bills they do get done are not good enough for the President. He didn't mention how the President vetoes everything they put through and the Republican Senators filibustor so much that nothing gets done. What a pack of lies he was saying!

I just don't know how this country will survive this administration for several hundred more days! There is absolutely NO oversight. We need Bush and Cheney to either resign or become impeached.

Everyday is a scarier situation than the previous one it seems.

    Ever since the Taft-Hartley Act, unionbusting has

reached a feverish pitch. This is why there is an

epidemic of bed-bugs throughout the United States.

The Republicans have put our manufacturing sector on

a big railway called NAFTA, and the GATT.
