NAFTA Countries to Introduce Simultaneous Legislation to Stop SPP

Elected representatives from Canada, the U.S., and Mexico have agreed to a plan to introduce simultaneous legislation in an effort to stop the Security and Prosperity Partnership (SPP) of North America. This cross border cooperation will go a long way in further exposing the North American Union agenda.

  

In addition, legislators have agreed to launch a Task Force to renegotiate NAFTA that will be chaired by NDP Trade Critic Peter Julian. It also includes U.S. Congresswoman Marcy Kaptur (D-Ohio), the Honourable Yeidckol Polevnsky (Senator of Mexico State and Vice-president of the Mexican Senate) and the Honourable Victor Quintana (Deputy of the State Chihuahua, Mexico). This is all in an effort to overhaul NAFTA and make it a more fair trade deal. Julian will also be working with Kaptur and Mike Michaud (D-ME) to try and defeat the Colombia Free Trade Agreement.

  

Julian said, “The NDP has been campaigning across Canada to expose and stop the SPP. We’ve held over 20 public forums in more than twenty cities and a dozen more are being planned for the spring of 2008. These forums have been held to speak out on the grave concerns surrounding the SPP and to help ensure that Canadians from coast to coast to coast get informed and have their say. This trinational initiative with colleagues from the U.S. and Mexico takes us to a new stage in our fight to stop the SPP.”

  

Discontent towards NAFTA is festering in Mexico, which has seen huge protests by farmers. Since 1994, one quarter of the rural population of Mexico and two million jobs have left the country. Mexican Senator Polevnsky said, “It is indispensable that legislators from all three North American partner countries work together to design an alternative project that takes into account each nations sovereignty, environmental protection, economic competitiveness, migration, and labor rights.”  

  

With all this talk about renegotiating NAFTA, the U.S. ambassador to Canada, David Wilkins recently acknowledged that he believes that it is too important to do away with or make any dramatic changes to. He pointed to the fact that, regardless who wins the American presidential election, NAFTA will stand. The SPP is an expansion of NAFTA, and is essentially the framework for a North American Union. On the heels of the next SPP Leader Summit that will be held in New Orleans on April 21 and 22, opposition towards a North American Union is growing in Canada, the U.S., and Mexico.

  

The citizens of all three NAFTA countries must demand more transparency in regards to the SPP. Some believe that it might be better to scrap NAFTA and just start from scratch. The reality remains the same - in a North American Union, Canada, the U.S., and Mexico would cease to exist as sovereign nations. This is a decision that should not be left up to corporate elites, bureaucrats or politicians, but to the will of the people.

NAFTA

If the mutual military assistance agreement hadn't been signed and covered up the way it was I wouldn't be so worried about the so called SPP. However it was and I am.

NAFTA

WHO COMES TO MIND BILL AND HILLARY, THE SNAKES ARE OUT OF THE BAG, AND IF HILLARY BECOMES PRESIDENT WE ALL WILL HAVE TO LEARN SPANISH.

All 3 canidates are onboard

the NWO agenda who are their "token" to the electorate. Candidates who didn't have the "bling" or counter to the NWO ideal were ignored by the MSM and forced out.

Time has brought many changes to society that most find difficult to accept. History is filled of where the "privileged" have always exerted their will on the masses, as they accumulate wealth by extracting tribute through taxes, wars and fleecing financial schemes.

Resulting in vast numbers of innocent life terminated, multitudes wrongly incarcerated, and society enduring the pain of abuse, addictions, and ruin.

The lust of greed superceeds these token few, than compassion for their fellow human. Control through fear is a type of euphoria they seek as they consolidate their final moves of creating the North American Union.

Many were fooled into signing away liberty for security, and as forewarned you receive neither. How predictions of when the U.S. was founded, and threats to its institution, will come from subverter's within, is living a surreal dream.

As I watch events unfolding around me, and with what little assets I possess, I feel relieved that I haven't been a bigger victim to the scams others have fallen into. As I grow older, I may not have the luxury of a family around me, I'm grateful that I haven't burdened the planet with "NWO described: Useless Eaters", who would have to endure the plans of the privileged.

freedom is popular

Correction: there are 3 idiots and one constitutionalist: Dr. Ron Paul. He is the only one I would trust to reduce the size and scope of the State.

Elites want their New World Order

The imminent upcoming New World Order, yet another infringement on our rights by the gov't.  Add it to the ever-growing list of violations:
They violate the 1st Amendment by opening mail, caging demonstrators and banning books like "America Deceived" from Amazon.
They violate the 2nd Amendment by confiscating guns during Katrina.
They violate the 4th Amendment  by conducting warrant-less wiretaps.
They violate the 5th and 6th Amendment by suspending habeas corpus.
They violate the 8th Amendment by torturing.
They violate the entire Constitution by starting 2 illegal wars based on lies and on behalf of a foriegn gov't.
Write in Dr. Ron Paul and save this great country.
