Friends, Some have asked, "What can I do about this proposed North American Union?" First, we must educate ourselves, our friends and our elected representatives about it. Here's a SHORT synopsis that your can use in conversation, as well as in letters:

FREE TRADE & THE NORTH AMERICAN UNION?

IN 2005, President Bush, Mexican President Fox and Canada's former Prime Minister Martin signed an agreement called the Security and Prosperity Partnership which would place boundaries and tariffs around the North American continent, but none separating the countries within the continent. This new continent-wide entity is called The North American Union (NAU) and would be similar to the European Union. The NAU would reduce our borders with Mexico and Canada to electronic speed bumps. A proposed Kansas City Super Port would become sovereign Mexican territory, which is the customs stop for Mexican trucks that according to our own U.S. Supreme Court do not have to live under the same safety and environmental standards that American truckers do.

The bottom line is that we all want FREE TRADE, but we also want a sovereign nation. We do NOT want a tribunal that would overrule our own U.S. Supreme Court so that we don't "irritate" Mexico or Canada with our power. Canada has already condoned homosexual marriages and taken away gun rights; I don't want our laws brought in line with theirs, which is likely in a NAU. Nor do I want to give up the dollar for a new "Amero," similar to the Euro, which is also proposed.

Instead, let us CELEBRATE our INDEPENDENCE and remember the gift of FREEDOM in our sovereign nation. Second, we must have the courage to VOTE in the future for candidates who commit to DEFEND American sovereignty. Who will be our 2008 Presidential Candidate?

Third, consider the impact on Texas' economy if Houston's port is minimized and Mexico's Caribbean port is maximized. Mexican dock workers would unload the cargo and load it onto trucks driven by Mexicans. The economic fallout on Texans would be HUGE!
