With the cold war heating up on our Northern Border? What's it all mean to the U.S.!jmsjoinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17631105639275375922noreply@blogger.comBlogger10125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15216381.post-1528258291257875642008-03-04T06:14:00.000-08:002008-03-04T06:14:00.000-08:00AMERICAN SOVEREIGNTY AND THE NORTH AMERICAN UNIONT...AMERICAN SOVEREIGNTY AND THE NORTH AMERICAN UNION<BR/><BR/>The term FREE TRADE is usually defined as the absence of tariffs, quotas, or other governmental barriers to international trade. There is no doubt that some recent free trade agreements have not been very good for the American worker. On the other hand, the agreements have been great for the large multinational corporations, particularly those that have moved their manufacturing plants from the United States to China, Mexico and other low-wage countries where they can hire people there for a few dollars a week. These corporations can now produce their products without worrying about the costs of meeting OSHA requirements, providing employee health care or pensions for its workers and then they can bring their products back into the USA to sell. These products oftentimes are not made to the same quality standards as when they were produced in America and as recents incidents involving Chineese imports have shown, these products can pose health hazards to Americans as well. <BR/><BR/>The supporters of many free trade agreements, particularly the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), have always promised increased exports, better jobs and better wages. Under many of these free trade agreements, however, just the opposite has occurred. Under NAFTA, for example, the U.S. trade deficit has soared and now averages $55-65 Billion dollars per month; the U.S. has lost over a million manufacturing jobs and real wages in both the U.S. and Mexico have fallen significantly. In short, NAFTA has not been a friend to the citizenry of either the United States or Mexico. <BR/><BR/>In 2005, a new mechanism was created to speed the further expansion of the NAFTA free trade agreement into a North American Union. It is called the Strategic and Prosperity Partnership of North America (SPP)’ The SPP is designed to facilitate the establishment of a North America Union through the “economic integration” of the US, Mexico and Canada. The most important feature of the SPP is that it does not require congressional ratification or the passage of any federal legislation by the congress of the United States. This design places the negotiation fully within the authority of the executive branch in the United States. How else would Mexican truckers be able to begin operating in the USA over the objections of Congress, American truckers and most of the American people?<BR/><BR/>The people and their elected representatives in congress no longer seem to have a voice when it comes to international trade. This is definitely a national sovereignty issue. International trade issues that affect 300+ million Americans should be made by the people’s representatives in Congress, not by a handful of government bureaucrats and corporate elites who use their government connections to bypass congress and ignore our Constitution, which expressly grants Congress the sole authority to regulate international trade. <BR/>The goal of these international trade elite is to create an integrated North American Union, complete with a currency, a cross-national bureaucracy, and virtually borderless travel within the proposed Union. Like the European Union, a North American Union would represent another step toward the destruction of our national sovereignty. A free America, with limited, constitutional government, would just be a memory. <BR/><BR/>Not all free trade agreements are bad, but I believe that the United States of America must withdraw from any international agreements that infringe upon the freedom, sovereignty and independence of the American people. <BR/><BR/>By:<BR/>JOHN W.

Yes things are moving rapidly on all fronts and it is impossible to keep up with it all. <BR/> With the cold war ramping up and at our northern door it made me wonder what it will mean to us as Bush prosecutes his NAU?

Just more future reasons for war to me!jmsjoinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17631105639275375922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15216381.post-14872620195230050132007-08-12T05:50:00.000-07:002007-08-12T05:50:00.000-07:00Larry You know, the author of that article had...Larry<BR/> You know, the author of that article had me convinced he felt as we do until I got near the end and did see the cons and then you aare able to put it together yourself. I like that! With the actions already under way in the Senate and the quesitoning of Repub Pres candidates this is not tin foil hat.<BR/> Sadly like everything else with Bush it does not matter what we think, see, and know, he will proceed and do what he wants.jmsjoinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17631105639275375922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15216381.post-22431805121397927212007-08-12T05:45:00.000-07:002007-08-12T05:45:00.000-07:00Thanks Larry I remember catching one of L D's ...Thanks Larry<BR/> I remember catching one of L D's reports but I wasn't aware he did regular updates.

Sadly he is 100% right as we have both reiterated many times and he is not done yet. <BR/> They will stupidly give him more power to abuse, and he will make things a lot worse here, in the middle east, and around the world, as he has his plan for new order on the fast track as he tries to accomplish as much damage as ppossible before his time runs out. <BR/> I believe we agree but I am afraid he will take all the time he wants and man are we and the world in trouble. It will not be turned around period.jmsjoinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17631105639275375922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15216381.post-31206577238792918622007-08-12T05:33:00.000-07:002007-08-12T05:33:00.000-07:00Thanks Larry I will check that out.
