NAFTA Superhighway System isn’t good for United States

Judy Stahl; Valley City, The Jamestown Sun
Published Tuesday, December 04, 2007

It’s time to repeal the North American Free Trade Agreement! The aim of ongoing talks between President Bush and Mexican and Canadian leaders is to build a North American union bureaucracy like the European Union, further eroding our sovereignty and constitutional rights.

 

A NAFTA Superhighway System would link Mexico and Canada, bringing more Chinese and Indian goods into the U.S. via Mexican ports. Mexican truckers and longshoremen would replace Americans. Imagine the increase in drug smuggling, terrorists, uninsured Mexican truckers and illegal immigrants entering the U.S. with the first checkpoint being Kansas City! This 10-lane highway plus rail, oil and gas lines would seize thousands of acres of private property by eminent domain.

According to Rep. Ron Paul, R-Texas, “The ultimate goal is not simply a superhighway, but an integrated North American Union — complete with a currency (the amero), a cross-national bureaucracy and virtually borderless travel within the Union … It sounds like a recipe for transnational socialism and the further destruction of the U.S. economy. Terrorists surely dream of a borderless North America. ... We must demand that American sovereignty be protected.”

Rep. Virgil Goode, Jr., R-Va., has introduced H. Con. Res. 40, which opposes construction of a NAFTA Superhighway System and U.S. entrance into a North American union.

Title: 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.

Rep. Virgil Goode, Jr., R-Va., has introduced a bill to repeal NAFTA.

Ask your congressman to join its 30 cosponsors and also support his H. Con. Res. 22 to repeal NAFTA.

I have sent all details to NUMBERS USA and asked them to advise the current status of both of these bills and how we can help to push them out of committee and to being passed.

I have also asked Lou Dobbs to update his viewers on their status.

For anyone who has contact via email or ???? to Glenn Beck - please also ask him to push on current status and anyone else that you can think of that will help.

Easy to contact Glenn Beck.  me@glennbeck.com   I will send a message to him today.  Members might also need to be aware of other related bills:

 

H.R.1940
Title: To amend section 301 of the Immigration and Nationality Act to clarify those classes of individuals born in the United States who are nationals and citizens of the United States at birth.

Introduced May 4, 2007 and now has 95 cosponsors.   Again, John Sullivan is the only Oklahoma Representative that has signed on to this bill.  (Virgil Goode, R-VA)

 

 H.RES.351
Title: Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that Federal authorities should strengthen and vigorously enforce all existing immigration laws.
Sponsor: Rep Sullivan, John [R-OK-1] (introduced 5/1/2007) 29 cosponsors and none are from Oklahoma




GET CONGRESS ATTENTION! CHANGE YOUR W-4 AT WORK AND CLAIM 10 DEPENDENTS SO NO TAXES WILL BE TAKEN FROM YOUR PAYCHECK. WHEN THE MONEY STOPS COMING IN MAYBE THEY WILL REMEMBER THEY ARE SERVANTS TO WE THE PEOPLE.
