THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA IS IN PERIL….

Why inform? (my comment). Well, students across the US are reporting disturbing references and visits by global entities to include constant propaganda exposure to United Nations referencing and European Union re-education material that infers it supercedes our rule of law and indirect subliminal re-education as if these entities over rule America by our consent. This is not consent but indoctrination into our classrooms and sad when American students are paying for their own indoctrination which will take away later their rights to earn a living freely upon graduation. Our Constitutional Republic is being turned covertly into a serfdom State under the rule of supranational bodies taking over our rightful form of government and by keeping voters ignorant of their treasonous acts against our nation and its people.

THE ONLY THING LEFT TO DO IS TELL THE PEOPLE.
I CAN’T WAIT TO SEE HOW THEY ARE GOING TO PULL THIS OFF.
3/19/2011
It’s a done deal. I’m waiting to hear how he government will tell the people they now live in The New States of North America. We have been merged with Canada and Mexico to form The North American Union. The full report, including the documents taken off the internet are below.
I am now a woman without a country.
THE GOVERNMENT HAS NO INTENTION OF LETTING THE PEOPLE VOTE ON GIVING THE COUNTRY AWAY.
Read the report. I have left out several articles telling you the amount of money that has already been given away and that Mexico is thrilled that you will now be paying for their welfare state. I know you hate to read and would only get upset. I’ll send them at another time.
Goodbye America.
Rest in Peace

North American Union Fact Sheet
Produced and Distributed by the American Policy Center
Summary
The effort is in its infancy, however the Bush Administration has been operating in secret for at least two years to establish what can only be described as a North American Union with Mexico and Canada,
along the same lines as the European Union. If that happens it can only mean an eventual end to the U.S. Constitution as our ruling document, replaced instead with a new North American Government. That is what is happening in Europe today.
We believe it can and will eventually lead to the surrender of U.S. sovereignty, independence, and national borders. It will result in the establishment of a North American currency called the “Amero,” as
the dollar is junked.
The U.S. will provide the army for defense. GONE WILL BE U.S. CITIZENSHIP. GONE WILL BE ANY KIND OF BORDER CONTROL BETWEEN THE THREE NATIONS OF NORTH AMERICA.
Plans are well underway to establish a NAFTA Super Highway, to be the width of eight football fields. It will run from Mexico to Canada, running through the middle of the United States. No direct inspections will be enforced as trucks from Mexico and Canada drive through this nation. Only electronic scanning will be used on the trucks.
Kansas City, MO has been tapped to serve as an “inland port” to handle imports and exports among the three nations.
Operating quietly, Kansas City has already designated $2.5 million of its taxpayer’s money to establish the port. Now, the Mexican government is demanding that it have its own inspection site in Kansas City to inspect its own trucks. It also is demanding that the land its port will sit on will officially become Mexican sovereign territory.
The official effort began on March 23, 2005, after a summit, held in Waco, TX. It was attended by President Bush, Mexican President Vicente Fox, and (then) Canadian Prime Minister Paul Martin. The
three leaders announced the signing of an agreement to create common policies concerning various economic and security areas among the three nations.
For obvious cover of official deniability, the term “North American
Union” is not being used. Instead, the agreement officially authorized twenty tri-national “working groups” to establish the “Security and Prosperity Partnership” (SPP). The concept is being sold as simply
a new framework within which the member nations can create free trade and security within the North American continent.
However, based on working documents, the intent to create the North American Union is impossible to hide.
The trilateral agreement, signed as a joint declaration, has not been submitted to Congress for review. THERE IS NO CONGRESSIONAL OVERSIGHT.
Security And Prosperity Partnership (SPP)
The joint statement on the SPP, issued on March, 23, 2005 described it as an initiative to: “…establish a common approach to security to protect North America from external threats, prevent and respond to threats within North America, and further streamline the security and
efficient movement of legitimate, low-risk traffic across our shared borders.”
The working groups are now laying the foundation for a European Union-style integration of the North American continent.
The White House has established the SPP office in the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) office in the U.S. Department of Commerce, where it has worked in virtual secrecy for two years. As the process proceeds, the SPP groups have not released public reports on their activities.
Over the past two years, at least 20 SPP working groups have produced a number of memorandums of understanding and trilateral declarations of agreement. These agreements cover a wide variety of issues including, energy, transportation, financial services (including loan and foreign aid policy), communications, technology, environmental policy, rules under which businesses will operate, food and agriculture policy, health policy, e-commerce, aviation policy, border and immigration policy, and the means for multiple governmental agencies to interact. They may be viewed on the Internet at www.spp.gov. [all the documents have been removed by orders of government]The Bush Administration has denied that
the SPP is operating in secret. Yet it has not released the names of those in the working groups.
Meanwhile, officials of the three nations quietly met in Alberta, Canada September 12 – 14, 2006. Former Secretary of State
George Shultz was a joint chairman of the meeting with his counterparts from Mexico and Canada. Also in active attendance were Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfield, Admiral Tim Keating, Commander of NORAD, and Robert Pastor, a key advocate
of the creation of a North American Union. Discussions at the conference included A Vision for North America,” “Toward a North American Energy Strategy, and “Demographic and Social Dimensions of North American Integration.”
It is also important to note that the Bush Administration has denied that the President ever signed an agreement with Canada and Mexico. The Administration has established a “Myths and Facts” section
to the Security and Prosperity Partnership web page in an attempt to counter arguments of those now exposing the SPP. The site blatantly says, “The SPP is a dialogue to increase security and enhance prosperity among the three countries. The SPP is not an agreement nor is it a treaty. In fact, no agreement was ever signed.” However, according to a report on the SPP written by Former Canadian Prime Minster Paul Martin, one of the three heads of state involved in the March 23, 2005 meeting with Bush and Fox, writes “Thus, on March 23, President Bush, President Fox and I signed the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America…” The full report by Mr. Martin may be read on the Internet at www.dfait-maeci.gc.ca/cippic/ips/ips-overview2-en.asp. Why is the Bush Administration lying about this fact?
The obvious answer is because they are doing this without congressional approval and it is therefore ILLEGAL.
Many SPP working groups appear to be driving toward achieving specific objectives as defined by a May, 2005 Council on Foreign Relations(CFR) task force report, which presented a blueprint for expanding the SPP agreement into a North American Union that would merge the U.S., Canada and Mexico into a new governmental form.
COUNCIL ON FOREIGN RELATIONS DOCUMENT
The CFR report is entitled “Building a North American Community,” and is essentially a five year plan for implementing the North American Union. It may be viewed at the CFR Internet web sight at
www.cfr.org.
A member of the CFR taskforce, Dr. Robert Pastor, wrote a book, published in 2001, titled “Toward a North American Commission.” The CFR taskforce report and the official SPP agreement carry almost identical language as the Pastor’s book.
Though the Bush Administration denies a connection to Dr. Pastor’s book or to the CFR’s report, Dr. Pastor has represented the United States in SPP meetings, including (as mentioned above) the recent
meeting in Alberta, Canada.
The book, the CFR task force and the SPP agreement call for the establishment of a North American Competitiveness Council
to pull in the private sector to the SPP process. In addition, all three call for the establishment of a “North American Advisory
Council,” which is to be an “independent body of advisors,” composed of “eminent persons from outside the government.”
In 2002, Dr. Pastor addressed the Trilateral Commission, calling for the establishment of a North American Investment Fund that would supplement World Bank funds expended in a trilateral effort to develop Mexico economically. The May, 2005 CFR report called for the same fund. Efforts are now underway in the SPP to officially establish the fund.
The CFR Task Force calls for the “creation by 2010 of a North American community to enhance security, prosperity, and opportunity. We propose a community based on the principle affirmed in the March, 2005 Joint Statement of the three leaders
(of the three nations) that ‘our security and prosperity are mutually dependent and complementary.’ Its boundaries will be defined by a common external tariff and an outer security perimeter within the movement of people, products and capital will be legal, orderly, and safe.”
To those ends, the CFR report called for establishment of a common security border perimeter around North America by 2010, along with free movement of people, commerce and capital to be facilitated by the establishment of a North American Border Pass that would replace a U.S. passport for travel between the U.S., Canada and Mexico.
Also envisioned by the CFR task force include a North American Court, a North American inter-parliamentary group, A North American Executive Commission, a North American Military Defense Command, a North American Customs Office and a North American Development Bank.
The task force report is important in the debate over the official Security and Prosperity Partnership operation because, though the Bush Administration denies any connection to the CFR report, the
language used in the CFR task force report and SPP documents, so far, have proven to be nearly identical. Clearly the CFR task force report is being used as the blue print to establish the North American Union.
No Congressional Authorization or Oversight
To date, Congress has passed no legislation to authorize the activities of the SPP, nor to fund its spending. Congress has had no official involvement in the process and has no oversight. Many members of Congress have denied any knowledge of the activities of the SPP. Democrat Congressman Barney Frank (D-MA) has said “It (SPP) was done for the United States solely by the President, with no Congressional involvement.”
Congressman Tom Tancredo, (R-Colo) has demanded that the Bush Administration fully disclose the activities of the SPP working groups,
including revealing the names of the members of those groups. No answers to his demands have yet been received from the Bush Administration, though the activity continues to move forward.
Geri Word, head of the SPP office, located in the Commerce Department, told World Net Daily that the work has not been disclosed because “we did not want to get the contact people of the working groups distracted by calls from the public.” Yet, the SPP denies it is working in secret.
NAFTA Super highway
Quietly, the Bush Administration is working to advance a plan to build super highways through the heart of the United States to transport goods from Mexico and Canada. The highways are part of
the original North American Free Trade Agreement, (NAFTA). The plan is now being advanced through an operation called “North America’s Super Corridor Coalition, Inc” (NASCO).
The Super Transnational System includes multiple lanes for cars and trucks. Plans call for a ten lane, limited access highway to parallel I-35. It will have three lanes each way for passenger cars, two express lanes each way for trucks. Mexican and Canadian cars and trucks will be allowed to travel the highway, over the U.S. border with no direct inspections. The highway will also carry rail lines plus a utility corridor for oil and natural gas pipelines, electric towers,
cables for communications and telephone lines. Speed limits will be relaxed as well as safety inspections for vehicles from
Mexico and Canada. Trucks will be allowed to carry extra tonnage and be extra long. A Railway system will travel up the center of
the highway, allowing Mexican rail road companies to enter the U.S. and travel up the highway.
Several such highways are contemplated. Environmental impact studies have already een completed. In Texas, efforts are
underway as 584,000 acres of privately owned land have been targets for takings through Eminent Domain. It is estimated that at least one million American citizens will be displaced from their homes to build
the corridor.
KANSAS City Customs Port to Be Mexican Soil
Beginning at the southern tip of Mexico, passing through Laredo, TX, the highway heads to an “inland port” in Kansas City, where a “Sentry System” will electronically inspect the cargos, before they head East or West, or continue on North through Duluth, Minnesota and into Canada.
As described on the KC Smart Port’s website www.kcsmartport.com), the plan is to enable cheap-labor products made in Communist China to travel in sealed “containers nonstop from the inland port. Is the Idea of a North american Union a conspiracy theory?
No. more to the point, It Is really a debate over political Ideology.
By Tom DeWeese
Specifically, if you believe there should be no borders marking a specific entity called the United States of America, then a North American Union will not concern you. If you believe nationalism, meaning love and pride of country, is a bad thing, then a North American Union will not concern you. If you believe government control of the market, of health care, and of energy policy is a positive force, then a North American Union will not concern you. If you believe anyone should be allowed to enter our nation, even illegally, obtain work, taxpayer-paid social programs, and owe no allegiance to the U.S., then a North American Union will not concern you.
On the other hand, if you believe the United States is the most unique nation on Earth with a government designed to protect your natural liberties, an economic system unlike any other — designed to create economic independence, and a judicial system unknown to any other nation, then a North American Union is a threat to all you hold dear.
Those currently working on such a plan do not share your ideals; they do not support your political positions. They do not understand nor care about your concerns. It’s their political ideology and they see nothing wrong with what they are doing. They consider your opposition to their plans to “harmonize” the U.S.
with Mexico and Canada old fashioned and out of date.
The question is where do you stand?
The other side intends to marginalize your love of country and support of limited government. In fact, the other side doesn’t want to debate the issue at all. It just wants to force its way on you, without discussion, without a VOTE, and without your involvement. And that is why they are trying to operate in secret.
Those of us who oppose this Union on ideological grounds intend to force that debate and let the American people decide how they wish to be governed. And that is why the other side is attacking us so viciously.
The Charge:
“This paranoid and groundless frenzy has been fomented and promoted by a shameless collection of lunatics and losers; crooks, cranks, demagogues and opportunists, who claim the existence of a top secret master plan to join the U.S. , Canada and Mexico in one big super-state and to replace the good old Yankee dollar with a worthless new currency called ‘The Amero.’” Michael Medved, December 28, 2006.
The Truth:
• Mexican economist and researcher Miguel Pickard wrote in an article, published by foreign press, detailing the “deep integration” planned for North America. He said there will be no single treaty and nothing will be submitted to legislatures of the three countries. Instead, he says, the plan for a “merged future” will be implemented through “the signing of regulations not subject to citizen review.” He went on to report of several secret meetings held in all three nations, after which representatives signed “close to 300 regulations” installing a “Unified American Border Action Plan.”
[ Supplement • Page 1 ]
• Pickard went on to express his view that President Bush is vigorously pushing” the idea of a “North American community.” Pickard concluded by saying the schedule calls for beginning with a customs union, then a common market, then a monetary and economic union, and finally the adoption of a single currency.
• Democrat Congressman Barney Frank said in a letter concerning the Security and Prosperity Partnership, “It was done for the United States by the President, with no Congressional involvement. Indeed it is not even a treaty because it has not been ratified by the Senate.”
CNN Anchorman Lou Dobbs said during a report on the SPP, “Have our political elites gone mad?”
The Charge:
“Another delusion usually associated with these fears involves the construction of a ‘Monster Highway’ some sixteen lanes wide through Texas and the Great Plains, connecting two nations on either side for the borders for some nefarious but never-explained purpose.” Michael Medved, December 28, 2006
The Truth:
• In April, 2006, Tx DOT released a 4,000 page Environmental Impact Statement that described a corridor that will be 1200 feet wide (the size of four football fields). It will parallel Interstate 35, and be five lanes north and five lanes south (3 lanes for cars, 2 lanes for trucks). In the middle will be pipelines and rail lines. It will also have a 200 ft wide utility corridor. The corridor will start in Laredo, TX, and run past Austin to the Texas-Oklahoma border. Plans ultimately call for building some 4,000 miles of highway with rail lines and utility lines, combined into super-corridors throughout Texas over the next 50 years.
• “The Oklahoma-to-Mexico stretch would be just the first link in a 4,000 mile, $184 billion network. The corridor would be up to a quarter mile across, consisting of as many as six lanes for cars and four for trucks, plus railroad tracks, oil and gas pipelines, water and other utility lines, and broadband cables.” Associated Press, July 21, 2006.
• Central to the construction of the Trans Texas Corridor is the massive taking of 584,000 acres of private rich farm land, ranches and homes. Supreme Court-approved Eminent Domain will be used to acquire the land.
• The Trans Texas Corridor is the first leg of what is called the NAFTA Super Highway scheduled to go through heartland America all the way to Canada.
• The main reason for opposition (for some nefarious but never-explained purpose) is the lack of inspection of the truck’s cargo as they carry containers loaded in China and off loaded in Mexican ports and driven straight through to an Inland port in Kansas City (KC SmartPort), relying only on electronic screening for drive-through inspections.
Moreover, Mexico will control its own customs facility in Kansas City and therefore able to inspect their own trucks on U.S. territory.
• “This spring (2006), city officials signed off on a 50-year lease for the Mexican facility, with an option for 50 more years…The council earlier this year earmarked $2.5 million in loans and $600,000 in direct aid to SmartPort, which would build and own the inland customs facility and sublet it to the Mexican government through agreements with U.S. Customs and Border Protection…The Mexican government would have no significant investment and would occupy the customs facility operation rent free…SmartPort set up the deal to avoid imposing any expenses on Mexico above its ordinary border costs…SmartPort meanwhile is seeking a $1.5 million grant from the U.S. Economic Development Administration to purchase high-tech gamma-ray screening devices for drive-through inspections of truck cargo…
Confusion and secrecy have been hallmarks of the ambitious project. At the outset, Gutierrez and others have said the customs facility would be sovereign Mexican soil similar to a foreign embassy. This has changed.” Posted by the Kansas City Star, 7-18-06
• Another objection to the highway system is the fact that foreign companies will operate the highways and collect tolls.
• “On a single day in June (2006), an Australian-Spanish partnership paid $3.6 billion to lease the Indiana Toll Road. An Australian company bought a 99-year lease on Virginia’s Pocahontas Parkway, and Texas officials decided to let a Spanish-American partnership build and run a toll road from Austin to Seguin for 50 years.” Associated Press, 7-15-06
• “One principle player is a Spanish construction company, which plans to build the highway and operate it as a toll road. But don’t be fooled: the superhighway proposal is not the result of free market demand, but rather an extension of government-managed trade schemes like NAFTA that benefit politically-correct interests.” Texas Congressman Ron Paul

The Charge:
“The record couldn’t be more clear on the ‘North American Union’ — there’s no one anywhere near the Bush administration, the Congress of the United States, Cabinet departments or even major think tanks who believes it’s a good idea to merge Canada, Mexico and the U.S.” Michael Medved, December28, 2006
The Truth:
• “Away from the spotlight, from Sept.12 to 14 (2006), in Banff prings (Canada), Minister of Public Safety Stockwell Day and Defense Minister Gordon O’Connor met with U.S. and Mexican government officials and business leaders to discuss North American integration at the second North American Forum…The focus of the event…included topics such as ‘ANorth American Energy Strategy,’‘Demographic and Social Dimensions of North American Integration,’ and Opportunities for Security Cooperation’ – all topics where the public interest is at odds with that of big business elites…The public has been kept in the dark while the business elite have played a lead role in designing the blueprint for this more integrated North America.” Reported by the Toronto Star, 9-20-06
• Attending the Banff meeting were Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, former U.S. Trade Rep. Carla Hills, and Assistant Secretary of State for Western Hemisphere Dr. Thomas Shannon.
• Arizona State University is teaching that the U.S., Mexico and Canada need to be integrated into a unified super-state, where U.S. citizens of the future will be known as “North Americanists.” The program openly calls for the integration of economic issues across the continent, and in many places goes further – such as the call for a common North American currency and an implied joint military.
• “Reformist Mexican President Vincente Fox raises eyebrows with his suggestion that over a decade or two NAFTA should evolve into something like the European Union, with open borders for not only goods and investment but also people. He can rest assured that there is one voice north of the Rio Grand that supports his vision. To wit, this newspaper.” Robert L. Bartley, editor, The Wall Street Journal, editorial, July, 2, 2001.
The Charge:
“Concerning the feds, the entire horror story about ‘North American Union’ is based upon the ‘Security and Prosperity Partnership,’ an utterly innocuous, open, above-board, well-advertised and widely publicized initiative to promote inter-governmental cooperation to fight terrorism, the threat of Avian flu, improve and tighten border security, and promote mutual prosperity.” Michael Medved, December 28, 2006
The Truth:
• “The SPP was not created by a treaty between the nations involved, nor was Congress involved in any way. Instead, the SPP is an unholy alliance of foreign consortiums and officials from several governments.”
Texas Congressman Ron Paul
• Also attending the Banff meeting, according to Canadian CBC News, was Mel Hurtig, noted Canadian author.
According to Hurtig, “We’re talking about such an important thing, we’re talking about the integration of Canada into the United States. For them to hold this meeting in secret and to make every effort to avoid anybody learning it, right away you’ve got to be hugely concerned.”
• “According to the U.S. government website dedicated to the project (www.spp.gov), the SPP is neither a treaty nor a formal agreement. Rather, it is a ‘dialogue’ launched by the heads of state of Canada, Mexico, and the United States at a summit in Waco, Texas in March, 2005. What is a dialogue? We don’t know. What we do know, however, is that Congressional oversight of what might be one of the most significant developments in recent history is non-existent.
Congress has had no role at all in this ‘dialogue’ that many see as a plan for a North American union. According to the SPP website, this ‘dialogue’ will create new supra-national organizations to ‘coordinate’ border security, health policy, economic and trade policy, and energy policy between the governments of Mexico, Canada and the United States. As such, it is but an extension of NAFTA-and CAFTA-like agreements that have far less to do with the free movement of goods and services than they do with government coordination and management of international trade…” Texas

110th CONGRESS – 1st Session
HCON 40 IH H. CON. RES. 40
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.
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
January 22, 2007
Mr. GOODE (for himself, Mr. WAMP, Mr. JONES of North Carolina, Mr. PAUL, Mr. STEARNS, Mr. DUNCAN, and Ms. FOXX) submitted the following concurrent resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure, and in addition to the Committee on Foreign Affairs, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned
CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
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.
Whereas the United States Departments of State, Commerce, and Homeland Security participated in the formation of the Security and Prosperity Partnership (SPP) on March 23, 2005, representing a tri-lateral agreement between the United States, Canada, and Mexico designed, among other things, to facilitate common regulatory schemes between these countries;
Whereas reports issued by the SPP indicate that it has implemented regulatory changes among the three countries that circumvent United States trade, transportation, homeland security, and border security functions and that the SPP will continue to do so in the future;
Whereas the actions taken by the SPP to coordinate border security by eliminating obstacles to migration between Mexico and the United States actually makes the United States-Mexico border less secure because Mexico is the primary source country of illegal immigrants into the United States;
Whereas according to the Department of Commerce, United States trade deficits with Mexico and Canada have significantly
increased since the implementation of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA);
Whereas the economic and physical security of the United States is impaired by the potential loss of control of its borders attendant to the full operation of NAFTA and the SPP;
Whereas the regulatory and border security changes implemented and proposed by the SPP violate and threaten United States sovereignty;
Whereas a NAFTA Superhighway System from the west coast of Mexico through the United States and into Canada has been suggested as part of a North American Union to facilitate trade between the SPP countries;
Whereas the State of Texas has already begun planning of the Trans-Texas Corridor, a major multi-modal transportation project beginning at the United States-Mexico border, which would serve as an initial section of a NAFTA Superhighway System;
Whereas it could be particularly difficult for Americans to collect insurance from Mexican companies which employ Mexican drivers involved in accidents in the United States, wich would likely increase the insurance rates for American drivers;
Whereas future unrestricted foreign trucking into the United States can pose a safety hazard due to inadequate maintenance and inspection, and can act collaterally as a conduit for the entry into the United States of illegal drugs, illegal human smuggling, and terrorist activities; and
Whereas a NAFTA Superhighway System would likely include funds from foreign consortiums and be controlled by foreign management, which threatens the sovereignty of the United States: Now, therefore, be it Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), That-
(1) the United States should not engage in the construction of a North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) Superhighway System;
(2) the United States should not allow the Security and Prosperity Partnership (SPP) to implement further regulations that would create a North American Union with Mexico and Canada; and (3) the President of the United States should indicate strong opposition to these acts or any other proposals that threaten the sovereignty of the United States.

Far East by way of Mexico,” through “a ships-to-rail terminal at the port of Lazaro Cardenas in Mexico,” then up “the evolving trade corridor” to Kansas City, Missouri, where they would have their first inspection. A Kansas City SmartPort brochure explains further, “Kansas City offers the opportunity for sealed cargo containers to travel to Mexican port cities with virtually no border delays.”
Kansas City will be the check point and disbursement center for trucks bringing their cargos into this country from Mexico and Canada. The official organization in charge of setting up the port is KCSmartPort. The searches of goods will not involve open inspections in which truck doors would be opened and the contents inspected by Smart Port personnel or even drug sniffing dogs. Instead the trucks will be simply scanned by high-tech gamma-ray screening in drive-by inspections.
As part of the inland port, a Mexican Customs office is being established. The Kansas City Council has voted a $2.5 million loan to KCSmartPort to build the Mexican customs facility in the West Bottoms near Kemper Area on city-owned land east of Liberty Street and mostly south of Interstate 670.
According to e-mails and other documents obtained by World Net Daily, top executives with the KCSmartPort project, suggest the facility “would need to be designated as Mexican sovereign territory and meet certain requirements.” In addition, Mexico is insisting on the right to be the sole inspector of its own trucks.
The negotiations with Mexico and the U.S. State Department for the final approval of the Mexican Customs office are proceeding in secret.
The “Amero,” merging U.S., Canadian And Mexican currencies
Though it will take some years to finalize, plans are being laid to create a new currency for the coming North American Union, much like the Euro replaced the currencies of individual countries of the European Union. The Amero would replace the U.S. Dollar, Peso and Canadian Dollar.
The plan has been specifically promoted through Dr. Pastor’s book, the blueprint for the rest of the SPP plan, and now may be officially moving through the establishment of a new SPP effort called the “Financial Services Work Group.” To date, it is too early to tell exactly when such a change would move forward, but it is being discussed in high places.
Of course the SPP and the Bush Administration denies that there is even discussion of such a currency. However, on April, 6, 2006, the SPP announced the formation of the Financial Services Working Group. According to its own news release, the Financial Group will focus on “enhancing processes for addressing banking, securities and insurance issues.” It goes on to say, “U.S. financial regulatory agencies will play a critical role in the SPP.”
In truth, the SPP is being put into place incrementally. It will take years before everything is in final order. It took the European Union several years to create the Euro. However, the guiding documents from Dr. Pastor’s book and the CFR report each call for the creation of a North American currency. It is obvious, if one dissects the bureaucratic language of SPP documents, in order to reach its goal to “reduce the cost of trade, combat counterfeiting and facilitate
trade,” among the three nations trying to act as one, the drive for a single currency will certainly become necessary.
A NEW GOVERNMENT FOR NORTH AMERICA
Many Americans simply do not believe that the United States would voluntarily give up its sovereignty to a North American Union. Those who think this way somehow believe that there will be a vote of the American people to decide.
It is little understood that such actions are done incrementally, behind closed doors, until the plans are so far along that stopping them becomes nearly impossible.
The North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) was sold as simply a way for American producers to broaden their markets. So too, was the European Union sold to the proud, ancient nations of that continent. Today, a new, socialist government rules them, complete with a ruling body, a new currency, a tax system, court system and a defense system –all the ingredients necessary for a government.
OPERATING IN SECRET, SPP working groups are efficiently laying the groundwork for the destruction of the United States of America
as an independent, sovereign nation. Once the North American Union is in place, we will then have to compromise our very unique nation of protected freedoms with the socialist nations of Mexico and Canada, where property rights, justice, economics and natural rights are not necessarily recognized.
Government decides.
The Security and Prosperity Partnership is about neither. It is not a plan to simply help sell American goods to larger markets. It is not a plan to help keep our nation safer in a security partnership with Mexico and Canada. Shutting our borders, not opening them, would do far more to accomplish that goal. The SPP is about creating a continental government which would eventually contain
its own court system, its own ability to collect taxes (including some sort of military or police ability) and its own currency.
The SPP is an invasion of our culture and our economy. It’s about the redistribution of American wealth and industry. It will represent the end of over 250 years of an historic experiment in freedom – unless Americans across the nation SAY NO – NOW.

military, academic, financial, industrial, and think tank members in a “North American Forum.” U.S. participants include former Secretary of State George Shultz, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, and Robert Pastor, to name a few.
[My comments] how good could this merger be if it was done in secret with a news blackout and anyone that spoke publicly about it was fired and vilified by the establishment media. AND TO DECIDE TO NOT ALLOW THE AMERICAN PEOPLE TO VOTE ON GIVING THEIR COUNTRY AWAY IS THE HIGHEST FORM OF TREASON]
IT’S A DONE DEAL
Canada kept U.S. border talks under wraps: document

OTTAWA—The federal government deliberately kept negotiations on a border deal with Washington secret while it planned ways to massage public opinion in favour of the pact, according to a confidential communications strategy.
The 14-page public relations document recommended that talks keep a “low public profile” in the months leading up to the announcement by Prime Minister Stephen Harper and U.S. President Barack Obama. At the same time, the government would secretly engage “stakeholders” — interested parties such as big business groups and others — in a way that respected “the confidentiality of the announcement.”
In advance, the government departments involved — including industry, foreign affairs, international trade and citizenship and immigration — were to “align supportive stakeholders to speak positively about the announcement,” according to the strategy prepared by Public Safety Minister Vic Toews’ officials.
On Friday, Harper and Obama signed off on a plan that for the first time that envisions throwing up a single security ring around the perimeter of Canada and the U.S. The wide-ranging blueprint calls for increased cooperation between the two countries’ police, border and intelligence agencies; an integrated Canada-U.S. exit-entry system using high-tech identification techniques and more sharing of information about Canadians with U.S. authorities.
At least three major business organizations — the Canadian Chamber of Commerce, the Canadian Council of Chief Executives and the Canadian Trucking Alliance — quickly issued statements praising the framework agreement Friday.
The document was prepared last fall, when the Canada-U.S. talks were being conducted without any public notice.
Under “communications challenges,” the document lists: “Greater information sharing is part of the initiative. The safeguarding of privacy and sovereignty will be of concern for Canadians.”
It also says Canadians may be too sanguine about security to see the need for the deal. “The Canadian public may underestimate the security threat to Canada.”
The confidential government document also contains a list of “high risk” stakeholders — those in Canada who might raise strenuous objections to stepped-up Canada-U.S. security arrangements.
Officials surmised that Jennifer Stoddart, the federal privacy commissioner, would be worried by plans to share more personal data on Canadians with U.S. authorities. “Will raise concerns re information sharing and protecting private information,” the document says of Stoddart. In response, the government should stress that “we value and respect our separate constitutional and legal frameworks that protect privacy, civil liberties and human rights.” It also recommended “ongoing engagement by officials” with Stoddart.
Advocacy and civil rights groups such as the Council of Canadians, led by Maude Barlow, were also expected to react negatively because of “privacy concerns.” The strategy paper again recommended that Conservatives should stress Canada’s protections for human rights and privacy. It also suggested that cabinet ministers be made available to the media to counteract Barlow’s statements.
Refugee and immigration organizations were considered “high-risk stakeholders” and expected to react by saying the new U.S.-Canada border measures will limit immigration. The recommended response was to say that the deal “will accelerate legitimate travel” and won’t change Canadian immigration and refugee policy. Another high-risk stakeholder was expected to be the Mexican government, which “may raise concerns about not being included in the vision.”
A separate list of “medium risk” stakeholders included academics, who will “expect proof of economic benefits” and may be worried about privacy and sovereignty, and the media, which will “look for specifics” that would be announced later. Also considered a “medium risk” are U.S. critics, who will see the new deal as a “threat to U.S. jobs.”
Now that Canada and the U.S. have begun work on implementing the deal, the Liberals and NDP say they are planning to bring cabinet ministers before a Commons committee to find out the details of the plan.
The public campaign to persuade Canadians that a muscular security deal won’t trade away Canadian rights was clearly underway Monday.
Public Safety Minister Vic Toews, appearing at a Senate committee on national security and defence, painted it as “necessary” to the free flow of cross-boarder trade, and “beneficial” to Canada.
The Americans, he said, bring greater resources, “assets” and much-appreciated expertise to border security, citing joint efforts during the Olympics security operations.
Asked later whether Canadians should be concerned about a new regime that might see random searches or seizures at the border, Toews said there’s little need to worry.
“I don’t think that is a concern that they should have, but those are the kinds of questions that need to be asked and discussed.”
CANADA AND THE UNITED STATES ARE NOW MERGED. HOW LONG BEFORE MEXICO JOINS THEM?
A silent but all-reaching coup has been taking place within the United States. This coup is not being directed by bomb-laden terrorists, nor will it ever be meaningfully covered by the mainstream media. The seditious act is being carried out by our very own elected officials, with President Bush leading the insurrection. We the American people, will not become fully aware of this revolution until this government’s agenda has been achieved and the United States disappears completely.
While many Americans have probably forgotten reporter Jerome Corsi´s revelations into the proposed North American Union, or the merger of the U.S. A., Mexico, and Canada, last year, former Mexican President Vicente Fox recently spoke about the plan publicly. However, his comments received very little coverage from the mainstream press.
On September 12, 2008, Vicente Fox gave a speech at Wayne State University´s forum entitled “Globalization and Immigration.” During the speech, he chastised Americans for not embracing a globalist view, as well as those who enter this country illegally from Mexico.
Fox also pushed his goal for the North American Union. He told the crowd: “What would be better for this nation then having a successful neighbor?…Why don´t we work together to make that dream happen? That dream happened in Europe. Today, Europe is what it is because of that Marshall Plan. They decided to work together. On a destroyed Europe right after the Second World war, the leaders came and had a vision to build up the union. The European Union. They started step by step-by-step. It´s been a 60-year progress.
After the speech, the former Mexican leader sat down for an interview with a local Fox affiliate. The reporter brought up the fact that Americans have become angry over the loss of their jobs due to NAFTA. Fox then informed the reporter in no-uncertain terms, that AMERICAN WORKERS SHOULD SIMPLY “GET OVER IT!” HE SEEMED TO TAKE GREAT PLEASURE IN THE KNOWLEDGE THAT AMERICAN MANUFACTURING JOBS ARE NOT RETURNING. He also talked about the need for a common currency, known as the Amero.
In June 2006, Jerome Corsi writing for Human Events reported on the NAFTA super highway. The proposed road would bring Mexican trucks over the border without a customs inspection until those trucks reach Kansas City. Corsi correctly characterized the border becoming simply a “speed bump” once the highway is finished. The road will cross the heartland of the U.S., eventually ending in Canada. Amazingly, not one network news cast (not even Fox) has mentioned this incredible but true threat to U.S. sovereignty.
In 2007, that became a reality. Mexican trucks began coming into this country every day, without being inspected at the border. The potential for large shipments of drugs, illegal aliens, and even terrorists being carried in those trucks was tremendous. The NAFTA super highway is in fact a smuggler´s dream come true.
Congress eventually ended the flow of Mexican trucks over the border. However, Obama is now working on ways to repackage the program to make it more palatable to the American people.
To add insult to injury, the customs complex (known as Smart Port) in Kansas City will be a Mexican customs station. However, it is being built with funds collected from the taxpaying citizens of Kansas City. The station will reportedly cost $3 million. A description on the Smart Port website reads: “For those who live in Kansas City, the idea of receiving containers nonstop from the Far East by way of Mexico may sound unlikely, but later this month that seemingly far-fetched notion will become a reality.”
NASCO (North American Super Corridor Coalition) is building the NAFTA ten- lane highway. NASCO is a collection of government agencies and private business organizations. NASCO has officially been given $2.5 million by the U.S. Department of Transportation.
So how can private groups pay for a public highway?…On April 30, 1992 President George H.W. Bush issued Executive Order #12803, which allows private investment in U.S. infrastructure…That´s how.
While only $2.5 million in federal dollars is reported to have been spent on this venture, considering the more than 6,000 earmarks in infamous 2006 $300 billion Highway Bill, it is really impossible to know the exact amount of taxpayer money being used on the project. The culture of corruption and lies in Washington makes a true accounting on any matter nearly impossible.
The alliance between Mexican, Canadian, and American government officials and big business is the very definition of a shadow government. One no longer need tune into late night radio host Art Bell, nor order back issues of Fate magazine to examine outrageous conspiracy plots. Though incredible, the pending construction of the NAFTA super highway and the merger of all three North American nations is real and is being directed by our own politicians.
While the idea that a road will be constructed connecting Mexico, the United States, and Canada without the consent of the American people is disgusting. The goal that this road will help support is as frightening as any doomsday scenario one can imagine.
On March 23, 2005, a meeting was held at Baylor University in Waco, TX. The meeting saw President Bush, Vicente Fox of Mexico, and Canadian Prime Minister Paul Martin sign the SPP (Security and Prosperity Partnership)agreement which will effect all three nations. Two stated goals of the SPP are: 1) Securing North America from external threats. 2) Preventing and responding to threats within North America…One must wonder if the “threats within North America” are actually well informed American citizens!
Bush entered into this treaty by calling it a “partnership” or “agreement,” even though it really is a treaty. U.S. law requires approval by two thirds of the Senate before any treaty with another nation can be signed. However, Bush simply skirted the law by calling any bi-lateral or tri-lateral treaties “agreements.” THE SPP WAS SIGNED WITH AN EXECUTIVE ORDER WHICH IS HOW BUSH SOUGHT TO ACHIEVE HIS GLOBALIST AGENDA AND MERGE THE THREE NATIONS, ALL WITHOUT EVER CONSULTING CONGRESS.
The Bush administration established an SPP office within the U.S. Department of Commerce.
A very troubling report is the Council on Foreign Relations´ call for a North American Union. THE CFR PROPOSES THE CREATION OF A NORTH AMERICAN UNION TRIBUNAL WHOSE RULINGS WOULD TAKE PRECEDENCE OVER THE U.S. SUPREME COURT, THE BORDERS BETWEEN MEXICO, THE U.S., AND CANADA TO BE ERASED BY 2010, AS WELL AS THE CREATION OF THE NORTH AMERICAN PARLIAMENTARY GROUP TO SUPERSEDE THE U.S. CONGRESS.
Speculation that former President Bush, and now President Obama plan on merging the U.S. with our neighbors to the North and South is really the only way to explain his lack of action in response to the ongoing tidal wave of illegal aliens flowing over our border with Mexico.
WorldNetDaily just reported that Obama has dropped the “North American Union” label, opting for the more benign North American Leaders Summit. However, the goals are the same. In August 2009, Obama met with his conspiring counterparts in Guadalajara, Mexico.
Bush and his surrogates made a great deal of noise over his decision to send 6,000 National Guard troops to the border. However, the troops were not allowed to stop anyone seen crossing the border illegally, they could only report the incidents to the Border Patrol. The troops were under orders to only work in a support role. The guardsmen spent their time digging latrines, answering phones, making repairs to infrastructure, and performing office duties.
Though the National Guard contingent was supposed to have reached 2,500 along the border by the first of July 2006, the actual number was far lower. At the time, National Guard spokesman Daniel Donohue admitted that there were only 483 troops actually on duty at the U.S.-Mexican border. In reality, only a few hundred troops were sent to the border at a time.
The 2006 Amnesty bill would have not only given amnesty to millions of illegal aliens currently inside the U.S., but also allowed another 100 million new legal immigrants to enter the country over the next 20 years. The bill called for a guest-worker plan for millions more from Mexico. The bill was exactly what President Bush wanted.
Picture for a moment another 100 million mostly Latino American immigrants in this country, as well as the offspring from the illegal aliens already here. Under that plan, the U.S. will become another very crowded and very poor Third World nation.
Of course, Barack Obama also supports so-called “comprehensive immigration reform,” which is simply code for granting amnesty to millions of illegal aliens. During the 2008 Presidential campaign, both Obama and McCain expressed the desire the extend Social security benefits to those working in this country illegally.
Who would benefit from the U.S. devolving into a mostly poor, mostly uneducated nation?…Big business seeking cheap labor and an ever-growing dictatorial federal government.
WHAT CAN WE EXPECT IF THE CLANDESTINE MERGER OF OUR COUNTRY WITH MEXICO GOES FORWARD?
Inundated with the children of so many new immigrants in such a short period of time (both legal and illegal) who cannot speak English, our public education system will collapse. Overwhelmed with millions of uninsured patients, hospital emergency rooms will be forced to close. As turf wars erupt between extremely brutal Latin American gangs, violent crime will become a daily occurrence in all but the most exclusive neighborhoods. Wages for Americans will continue to decrease with the influx of so many Third World laborers. The middle class will disappear and democracy will become irrelevant.
IT IS OBVIOUS THAT THE MOST DANGEROUS THREAT TO THIS NATION DOES NOT EMANATE FROM THE MUSLIM WORLD, NOR FROM A FORMER COLD WAR ENEMY, OUR MOST DANGEROUS THREAT NOW EXISTS WITHIN THOSE WHO ARE SWORN TO PROTECT US.
Below is the Constitution for the New States of North America. It was written many years ago in preparation of the merging Canada, Mexico and the United States. I can’t guarantee this document is what will be rammed down our throats, but I believe what we get will be similar. The law of the 3 former nations will have to harmonized. There is no private gun ownership or free speech permitted in Mexico or Canada so I believe they will be the first of our freedoms to disappear. This constitution was not written by the people. This was written for the people by those who will be their masters. Perhaps it will serve as a glimpse into how you have to live in the New States of North America.

Those sections are in bold, are italicized, and are in red type. * Liberty Lobby (202) 546-5611 300 Independence Ave., S.E.

If not disapproved by a majority, it shall become part of this Constitution. If rejected, it may be restudied and a new proposal submitted./* It shall be the purpose of the amending procedure to correct deficiencies in the Constitution, to extend it when new responsibilities require, and to make government responsible to needs of the people, */making use of advances in managerial competence/* and establishing security and stability; also to preclude changes in the Constitution resulting from interpretation.
SECTION 2… When this Constitution shall have been in effect for twenty- five years the Overseer shall ask, by referendum whether a new Constitution shall be prepared.

For this purpose the members may take advice and commission studies concerning resources, population, transportation, communication, economic and social arrangements, and such other conditions as may be significant. The President shall transmit the commission’s report to the Senate. After entertaining, if convenient, petitions for revision, the Senate shall report whether the recommendations are satisfactory but the President shall decide whether they shall be accepted or shall be returned for revision. Existing states shall not be divided unless metropolitan areas extending over more than one state are to be included in one Newstate, or unless other compelling circumstances exist; and each Newstate shall possess harmonious regional characteristics. The Commission shall continue while the Newstates make adjustments among themselves and shall have jurisdiction in disputes arising among them. *SECTION 6* Constitutions of the Newstates shall be established as arranged by the Judicial Council and the Principal Justice.

Estimates shall be made by the Chancellor of Financial Affairs and approved by the President; but the deduction shall not be less than 7 percent. *SECTION 11* When this Constitution has been implemented the President may delete by proclamation appropriate parts of this article.
DOCUMENT NUMBER TWO
THE PROPOSED CONSTITUTION FOR THE ‘NEWSTATES OF NORTH AMERICA’ An analysis by E. Stanley Rittenhouse This new constitution would replace the present U.S. Constitution and would dissolve the States as we know them into Newstates, “each comprising no less than 5 percent of the whole population.” This new constitution with its regional government would bring about an oligarchy at the expense of our Constitutional Republic. This form of dictatorship that is planned for America would bring into even more prominence and power the crowd who wants a “New World Order.” This proposed constitution is, in itself, a vehicle for the transition from our proven, tried and true, divinely-ordained Constitution to the New World Order that man, in his own efforts, hopes to impose upon mankind. The first eight words of the preamble clearly spell out all of the above. “So that we may join in common endeavors” assumes that everyone wants to support their endeavors to destroy America’s sovereignty, states rights and the individual’s God- given liberty and freedom. Should this be accomplished, the states would be abolished in favor of regions known as “Newstates.” By their assumption, the initiative is taken and the momentum gained. The “common endeavors” in this case is the destruction of our U.S. Constitution so as to replace it with a dictatorship. The new would have the form and appearance of the old but there the similarity would end. The Newstates of America Constitution is merely a form of the old in order to pacify those still remembering the liberty that is guaranteed. The new constitution is a bridge, a part of the hopefully peaceful transition from a Constitutional Republic to an oligarchic world dictatorship. The mere fact that this new constitution is to be in effect only 25 years and that many opportunities are provided to revise and rewrite it in those years, indicates the role of transition. Article XI, Section 2 declares: “When this Constitution shall have been in effect for twenty-five years the Overseer shall ask, by referendum whether a new Constitution shall be prepared.” And should those in power be defeated in the case of amending their new constitution, they won’t take no for an answer. To quote Article XI, Section 1: “If rejected (that which they proposed), it may be restudied and a new proposal submitted.” So evidently, it is not possible for the people to totally reject that which the appointed Principal Justice and that which the appointed Senate proposes. The word “emergency” appears frequently in the proposed Constitution but is never mentioned in our U.S. Constitution. Consequently, an “emergency” is used to impose new dictates– which could only be accomplished at the expense of the U.S. citizen’s liberty. Much of the language is vague leaving it wide open to various interpretations–and of course the ones in power would control the courts as our judicial system would be restructured to favor the continuance of power. This would be accomplished by eliminating the present checks and balances so established within the present Constitution. The legislative, judicial and executive branches would be replaced with six branches, all designed and structured to perpetuate those in power. Article XII spells out clearly the awesome dictatorial power that will be put into the hands of a few. Section 1 states: “The President is authorized to assume such powers, make such appointments, and use such funds as are necessary to make this Constitution effective as soon as possible after acceptance by a referendum he may initiate.” Section 4 says, “the president shall cause to be constituted an appropriate commission to designate existing laws inconsistent with this Constitution, and they shall be void.” The new order would bring about land use–the federal control or “use” of private property. (And we all know there can be no human rights without property rights!) The Newstates Constitution declares: “No property shall be taken without compensation.” By leaving the word “just” out, the compensation becomes very arbitrary and the final decision would rest with the government. Article VI, B, Section 16, states: “To acquire property and improvements for public use at costs to be fixed, if necessary, by the Court of Claims.” The Court of Claims will be made up of appointees. In order for the One-Worlders to maintain themselves in power, the key positions would be filled by appointees with the authority as well as the power being given to these unelected bureaucrats. Such officials as the Overseer, the Watchkeeper, the National Regulator, the Intendant, the Principal Justice and his appointed members of all national courts, the Public Custodian, the chairman of the National Planning Board, Chancellors of External, Financial, Legal & Military Affairs and the appointed Senate, to name a few will be the unelected. This approach would tend to continually bring to power only those of like mind. This is completely contrary to the attitude and approach our Founding Fathers had back in 1789 when writing the U.S. Constitution. Their concern was with the individual, his life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness; certainly not with an obsession of bringing more power to themselves and perpetuating themselves in power. The fact that power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely still applies today as it did then and should make us eternally vigilant against such a trend ever developing toward absolute power. Article I, Section 1, states: “Freedom of expression of communication, of movement, of assembly or of petition shall not be abridged except in declared emergency.” In other words, all freedom is dependent upon whether the government would declare an emergency or not. But freedom is a right not to be revoked; they make it a privilege and at the mercy of their whim. This would be government by men, not by law. As this constitution states throughout, so much is dependent on certain conditions which can be determined at a later date, “Except in declared emergency;” “except in the interest of national security;” “Existing states may continue and may have the status of Newstates if the Boundary Commission, hereinafter provided, shall so decide;” “except they be approved;” “unless authorized;” “shall conform to his regulation;” etc., all point out that the form of government proposed by this document would be very arbitrary and dictatorial with the individual being forced to yield to his government. The result would be very little individual liberty. Article I, B, Section 8 would establish federal gun control and at the same time the dissolution of our 2nd Amendment which guarantees the citizen the right to bear arms. This proposed new government would control the elections. Political parties would need the approval of the Overseer and elections would be controlled by controlling the spending; this, in turn, would control the legislature. The club of Revenue Sharing would also be in effect. “If governments of the Newstates fail to carry out fully their constitutional duties, their officials shall be warned and may be required by the Senate, on the recommendations of the Watchkeeper, to forfeit revenues for the Newstates of America.” (Art II, Sec 15). This new constitution establishes the President with a term of nine years. This would make the government still less accountable to the people. There no longer would be a competitive, free-enterprise system but a “planned economy.” And the planners would be appointed by the President. This constitution would seek to dictate that the interests of America not be put first. Article IV, Section 13 & 14 declares: “In making plans, there shall be due regard to the interests of other nations and such cooperation with their intentions as may be approved by the Board. “There may also be cooperation with international agencies and such contributions to their work as are not disapproved by the President.” In regard to taxes, the President would be the tax czar, a virtual dictator. “To assist in the maintenance of economic stability, the President may be authorized to alter rates by executive order.” Article VI, B, Section 9d. The economic dictatorship is also promoted in Article VII, the Regulatory Branch, Section 1 declares that the “National Regulator…shall make and administer rules for the conduct of all economic enterprises.” But “they” always look out for their own. Section 3 states: “Under procedures approved by the Board, the Regulator shall charter all corporations or enterprises except those exempted because of size or other characteristics, or those supervised by the Chancellor of Financial affairs, or the intendant…” One wonders what characteristics would be sufficient to escape the hand of the Regulator? Section 10: “The Regulator shall make rules for and shall supervise marketplaces for goods and services.” The law of supply and demand would come under the heel of the bureaucrat. The free-enterprise system that has provided the prosperity and level of living that is the envy and standard of the world would be abandoned by these international-socialists promoting the scheme and conspiracy of a socialistic, dictatorial economic system that has proven throughout the history of mankind, to be disfunctional, non-workable and a total failure. Why, you may ask? This whole document and what it represents is a move toward a centralization of power so that the few may control the many. “The President may make agreements with OTHER ORGANIZED PEOPLES for a relation OTHER THAN FULL MEMBERSHIP in the Newstates of America. They may become citizens and may PARTICIPATE IN THE SELECTION OF OFFICIALS. They may RECEIVE ASSISTANCE for their development or or from the National Sharing Fund if they conform to its requirements; and they may serve in civilian or military services, BUT ONLY AS VOLUNTEERS. They shall be REPRESENTED IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES BY MEMBERS ELECTED AT LARGE, their number proportional to their constituencies; but each shall have at least one; and each shall in the same way choose one permanent member of the Senate.” The [capitalized] emphases are added and they speak for themselves. This document would put America at the mercy of the United Nations by recognizing U.N. agreements on par with our treaties (Article VIII, Section 14c). This would open the door to the Genocide Treaty with evils too numerous to list here. When a government is highly centralized, it is also highly vulnerable. It is an efficient structure for takeover by a determined minority. When there is decentralization and the power of the government truly rests with its citizens, to capture a part only provides a threat to the whole but does not necessarily mean a total loss. This system of checks and balances which we enjoy under the U.S. Constitution provides the opportunity of correcting the wrong, throwing the rascals out and preserving the Union. The name itself says it all, the United States of America, not a collection of federal regions controlled and run by the unelected elite. In diversification of authority and power, there is security. States’ rights themselves provide that service and when united in a Union provide a formidable structure against attack from without and subversion from within. To weaken that structure, the states and their rights must be dissolved. The Newstates (regions) and this infamous constitution would weaken the Union and make us vulnerable to these vultures who want America for their own. Certain powerful forces hope to replace the freedoms guaranteed in our Constitution by their own dictatorship–a cleverly disguised dictatorship. It has been planned to resemble superficially the government we have now, so that we will not recognize it for what it is–until too late. They are using every propaganda trick at their command to make us lower our guard. For years they have been working through groups too numerous to list, orchestrating their efforts to force a “New Constitution” on us while the people of America slumber, unaware of what is happening. In 1964 a tax-exempt foundation, the far left, internationalist “Center for the Study of Democratic Institutions,” an offshoot of the multibillion dollar Ford Foundation, began writing a “New Constitution.” It took ten years and hundreds of thousands of tax-free dollars to write. The final version was prepared under the leadership of Rexford G. Tugwell, well-known in the 1930′s as one of FDR’s “brain- trusters.” The “Newstates Constitution” is a blueprint for the slavery of the American people. It is a document you should know and understand to comprehend the conspiracy that powerful forces in America have entered into in order to snap the manacles of an international dictatorship on the arms and legs of America. This 32-page document contains, in addition to the complete text of the “Newstates Constitution,” a review by Col. Curtis B. Dall, Chairman of Liberty Lobby, and a commentary by E. Stanley Rittenhouse, Liberty Lobby’s Legislative Aide. Colonel Dall is a former investment banker who has been connected with the federal banking-political complex at the highest levels. He is also a well-known author and lecturer.

DOCUMENT NUMBER THREE
A Review of the Proposed Constitutional Model for the Newstates of America By Col. Curtis B. Dall *Opening Comments* This document was “hatched” in the Center for the Study of Democratic Institutions in Santa Barbara, California, under the direction of Rexford Tugwell, working with scores of collaborators for about ten years. It is largely the distillation of a book written by him, entitled, “The Emerging Constitution,” published in 1974 by Harper and Row, for a small, select group of readers. It contains twelve Articles and is offered as a substitute for our time-honored, magnificent Constitution. Tugwell’s document would foist upon unalerted Americans a new, deceitfully worded “Constitution” tooled up for a Police State under a Dictator! Rex Tugwell, I can readily recall, was a well-known, Far-Out Liberal of the New Deal Era, a friend of Nelson Rockefeller who, reportedly, is also much interested in the promotion of this subversive new “Constitutional Model” with its varied overtones for a Dictatorship. Just why should any group of Americans take it upon themselves to gratuitously present to the American people a NEW Constitution to replace the one which as served the country so outstandingly over the years? Why attempt to tear down and overthrow our form of government by setting up, in its place, a Soviet-type, Godless Dictatorship, depriving the Individual American of Free Enterprise and personal Liberty? Evidently, it is because a few super-rich men, devoid of loyalty to country, expect, along with some of their Satellite Corporations, to profit greatly by assisting in the development of a One-World, Socialist State which they expect to control. Their subversive planning will ultimately fail, once loyal Americans understand their monstrous plan. I have read Dr. Peter Beter’s very penetrating, brilliant analysis of this proposed new Constitution, which he wrote as an aroused lawyer. This review of mine will represent the point of view of an aroused layman, emphasizing certain “key points” for those who are unsuspecting, and, therefore, unalerted–those who find it hard to believe that a few wealthy, politically- perverted-minded individuals, and their well-kept stooges, would stoop so low as to stick a knife in the back of their fellow- Americans and attempt to destroy the fruits of 200 years of struggle and great achievement here. A struggle for the advancement and well-being of Free Men, in our enlightened, Constitutional Republic. This abortive “New Constitution” pretends to follow the language of our own Constitution. Lying just beneath some sweet- sounding, misleading words, however, are potential Subversion, Malfeasance, and perhaps, Treason. Tugwell, the individual, and all sponsors of this Plan should be tried by the Courts and punished for their adjudged crimes against their country and their fellow-citizens, and the charters of all sponsoring and contributing Foundations voided. For those who, with intent, have arrogantly attempted to turn back the clock and aim to plunge us all into miserable servitude, just what punishment is adequate? These comments are made to provide a preface for my review, which follows: *Preamble* (a) It welcomes the future “in good order.” Just what does that really mean? (b) “To create an adequate and self-repairing Government.” If our present Government needs some minor repairing, why not carefully consider the matter for possible improvement? Why even consider a new form of Government that might be “self- repairing”–by command coming from a Dictator? Why change the entire form of a highly successful Government for free people to one controlled by iron-clad Dictatorship? Note. “We, the people, do establish the Newstates of America, herein provided to be ours–” Well, what would we have then? What, in contrast to that which we have now? Today, we have a noble document, far, far removed from a “concensus for Collectivism”–a dangerous phrase which we occasionally hear from Internationally-influenced speakers in their efforts to further the aims of the super-rich Corporate Socialists. The emphasis in the Preamble, and throughout, is to favor BIG Government and down-grade The People. This is the complete reverse of our own Constitution. *Rights and Responsibilities Article 1. “A” Rights.* Section 1. Note the “exception.” Who is to define “the emergency?” Section 2. Another “exception.” Also note the word, “Privileged.” Section 3. This is vague, but carefully phrased. Section 5. “The Court of Rights and Responsibilities” can decide whether or not you have been guilty of “discrimination”– This is harassment. Section 6. What determines “eligibility?” Section 8. “The practice of religion shall be privileged”– a very dangerous statement. This could deny our present Constitutional Right to the “free exercise thereof.” Section 10. Note “National Sharing Fund”–Quite a “gimmick.” Section 11. Who is to define the “appropriate tests of eligibility” for education? Section 12. In referring to “compensation,” the word, “just,” is flagrantly omitted. A serious and ominous omission. Section 15. Who is to declare the “emergency?” *Article 1 “B” Responsibilities.* Section 1. “A corresponding responsibility” is vague, and could be quite dangerous. Section 6. “Fairness to all”–sounds nice, but very vague. Section 8. Citizens shall be deprived of their arms. This is the age-old “gag” of all tyrants, their favorite technique, to first deprive all law-abiding citizens of their means of protection from assault. Section 11. Aimed to “muzzle” Retired Officers of the Armed Forces. Why. *Article II. “The Newstates”* Section 1. “There shall be Newstates”–This is very subversive, inflammatory and communistic. Note “The Boundary Commission” and its extensive proposed powers “to decide.” This is complete Regimentation. Section 2. NO. Section 3. NO. Too much “planning” (to submerge the individual.) Section 4. Note “electoral Overseer.” Section 11. So-called “States Rights” are subject to “Emergency” rulings by the Governors, with the approval of the Senate of the Newstates of America, so all States’ Rights hang on a very slender thread. Hence, they are down-graded. Section 12. Suggests a Police State. Section 13. Again, “The Boundary Commission” appears, with firm control over the “Newstates.” Section 15. Looks very much like a Police State set up. A club over the “Newstates” wielded by the “Watchkeeper.” *Article III. The Electoral Branch* Section 1. This is something new for greater control over the people. Section 4. Note, “Recognition by the Overseer.” Section 5-8. “The Overseer shall promulgate rules for party conduct…” Section 11. “Expenses of the Electoral Branch” to be met by an added 1% to the net taxable income of taxpayers…for disposition by the Overseer.” Sounds, again, like a Police State. *Article IV. The Planning Branch* Section 1. “There shall be a Planning Branch to formulate and administer plans and to prepare budgets…” Evidently, the individual is not expected to do any planning on his own account. His “day” is supposed to be over. Section 2. “National Planning Board of 15 members appointed by the President for terms of one to 15 years…the president shall appoint a Chairman to serve for 15 years.” Quite an important appointment. Section 5. “…(these plans) to represent national intentions tempered by the appraisal of possibilities.” This is intentionally vague; a form of “Soviet-type” Regimentation, pointing to a loss of Freedom for the Individual. “National life,” is a reference to a “Super State.” Section 8. More Regimentation. Section 9. “There shall be submissions…” This is to control, or actually kill Free Enterprise: the destruction of personal liberty. Section 10. “Violations…shall be at the risk of the venturer, and there shall be no recourse…” This is a pure Police State set-up.. Section 14. This is intended to be far-reaching and is very dangerous. It is a well-concealed “Give-Away” to help promote “International Agencies.” It amounts to a “Blank Check” for Foreign Aid. *Article V. The Presidency.* Chancellor of Financial Affairs… Here is great power, not spelled out, but a sort of “Blank Check.” Emphasis is on foreign nations, but no reference as to how we can improve our present bankers’ system of privileged thievery of national assets. No mention at all. Very dangerous and quite unacceptable, to even contemplate. Chancelor of Military Affairs…very dangerous: “emergency” appears, again. Section 10. “Treaties or agreements with other nations, negotiated under the President’s authority, shall be in effect unless objected to by a majority of the senate within ninety days.” Too much power in the hands of the President. He is to be the strong man. Section 11. This means complete control–so necessary for a Dictator. Section 13. “There shall be a Public Custodian, appointed by the President, who shall have charge of properties belonging to the government…building, construction and rentals…” (and may have other duties). The familiar “blank check” treatment, again. Section 14. There “Shall be an Intendant” to supervise Offices for Intelligence and Investigation also “an Office of Emergency Organization.” The “Intendant will also “charter non- profit Corporations or Foundations” for useful public purposes” … “exempt from taxation.” Useful to whom? Why exempt from taxation? Firm Regimentation. Section 15. “The Intendant shall … be a counselor for the coordination of scientific and cultural experiments and for studies within the government and elsewhere.” Note that word, “elsewhere.” *Article VI. The Legislative Branch. “A” The Senate* Section 1. Note “if they so desire”…Who are “they?” All hand picked from a top group around the President. Section 2. Retirement can be voluntary. Life membership. Section 3. “…elect as presiding officer a Convener” “for two years” Section 4. A quorum will be 60% or more. Section 6. “The Senate may ask advice from the Principal Justice concerning the constitutionality of measures before it.” Section 8. “In time of present or prospective danger caused by cataclysm, by attack, or by insurrection, the Senate may declare a national emergency” “and may authorize the President to take appropriate action. If the Senate be dispersed, and no quorum available, the President may proclaim the emergency…” When the Senate is dispersed would be a good time for the President to declare an “emergency.” Section 10. Note the word, “abroad.” This is more veiled international meddling in other nations’ affairs to further the financial interests of the wealthy International Political Capitalists and their large industrial satellites. Section 11. “The Senate shall elect, or may remove, a National Watchkeeper (who)…shall gather and organize information concerning the…competence and integrity of governmental agencies and their personnel, as well as their continued usefulness…and suggest the need for new and expanded services…The Convener shall present the Watchkeeper’s findings to the Senate.” Very fancy! *Article VI. The legislative Branch. “B” The House of Representatives.* Section 1. “The House of Representatives shall be the original law-making body of the Newstates of America.” Section 2. “It shall be a duty to implement the provisions of this constitution…” d. “To assist in the maintenance of economic stability, the President may be authorized to alter rates by executive order.” This clearly bears the mark of a contemplated Dictatorship. 5. Very wide-sweeping and vague, but all-encompassing. 8. This is also very “fancy” and far-reaching. What is “world order” and who determines it? Here again, the benefit is for a wealthy few who are to be groomed to be our appointed World Policemen. The people are to bear the great expense of this treasonous policy aimed at the destruction of the freedom- loving people of this country. 10. This is clearly meddling in other nations’ affairs so that some Super Capitalists can thereby extract a profit. This is sheer, self-serving socialist nonsense on an international level to help the international-type Rockefeller- Group-controlled corporations. 11. Vague, of course, and dangerous. Who defines “adequate” and “equal?” 13. Notice how quietly the word, “archives,” appears? Yes, keep the public in the dark. Police State technique. We want none of it. 15. “To conserve natural resources by purchase…or by regulation. 16. This is very dangerous and could readily become confiscatory in character. 18. What is “adequate?” 19. “To provide for the maintenance of armed forces.” This most important matter is covered in only eight words. No mention of “adequate” armed forces. No indication as to what way the forces are to be organized and developed. This is a deliberate, crafty, “brush-off” for hidden, deceitful reasons. *Article VII The Regulatory Branch* Section 3. Note that the “Big Boys” will be immune on account of size. This is the planned “apparatus” of a Dictator. Does the “guiding hand” of Rex Tugwell’s friend, Nelson Rockefeller show here? Section 7. It will be necessary to “play ball” with “The Regulator.” Section 8. A labyrinth of Rules. Section 9. What about the interest of the citizens, which appears to be deliberately over-looked? Section 10. This means FOOD–and don’t forget that very effective “tool,” called “Rationing.” Section 11. More and More Rules. Section 12. Still more Rules! *Article VIII. The Judicial Branch* Section 1. Quite a galaxy of Courts on the National level. Pity an abused citizen–he could readily become a “non- person,” as in Soviet jargon. Section 14. “The Supreme Court may decide: c. Whether international law…has been ignored or violated.” Here, the Principal Justice is the real boss, along with the Judiciary Council. *Article IX General Provisions* Section 1. Apparently the Congress will define the qualifications of Citizenship. Mr. Tugwell has wandered much too far. Section 2. Here, again, the emphasis is in Government, not the Individual. Section 3. “The President may negotiate for the acquisition of areas outside…” What say the People? Section 4. This is indeed fancy Dictator stuff. Section 5. They must be afraid of the people’s reaction to insist on a “blank check” to say what-ever they desire to say, true or otherwise. Section 7. This the mark of Big, central government. *Article X Governmental Arrangements* Section 2. These are the “top dogs” in a Centralized Socialist State set-up, far removed and different from what we now have. Section 6. Who is “protecting” the People from them? *Article XI Amendments* Section 1. It is admitted here, by “Tugwell and Company,” that there may be “deficiencies” in this constitution, but any unfavorable “interpretations” of it are precluded. A Dictator will, naturally, institute all “changes.” Section 2. Twenty-five years, in this case, would be a very long time. The People–not the “Judicial Council” should suggest new amendments. This is a slick, deceitful section, made to “read good” but to enhance so-called “managerial competence”–a tricky phrase. Also, it is a slap at our own Constitution, in referring to the word “interpretation.” I wonder, why do we need a New Constitution and New Amendments to correct “deficiencies?” If our own Constitution needs any trimming, let the People reflect their considered views concerning it–and not, as in Tugwell’s “monstrocity,” have a Tyrannical, Godless Dictatorship foisted upon us to further establish and enrich the One World Corporate Socialists. *Article XII Transition* Section 1. Referendum, in itself, if conducted honestly, is a reasonable procedure, but it can readily become the “tool” of deceitful sponsors for their self-serving purposes. Section 4. “The President”–so-called, to hide a more frank title. Section 5. Note the words, “adjustments” and “disputes.” We know that our forebears gave much time and great thought to this identical matter between 1778 and 1789. Could it be that the observations provided by Mr. Tugwell and his numerous colleagues in the mis-named “Center for the Study of Democratic Institutions” does not go back that far? Section 6. Here “the cart” is deliberately placed before “the horse”–meaning that Freedom and Liberty should properly start with the People. Be alerted, Fellow Citizens. Section 7. This is a very dangerous situation which could occur in the area of so-called “Transition” because it could be deliberately “bogged down.” An aspiring Dictator could create a chaotic situation in this country which would play directly into his hand. Ponder this. Section 8. Here we go again. Hurry, hurry, hurry–to fool the people. Section 10. This is a clear picture of “Strong-Arm” Dictatorial methods. Comply–or else! Section 11. In this the President is given a free hand to delete appropriate parts of this Article by mere proclamation. Just what does “appropriate” mean? Who determines this? Historically, this whole Tugwell promotion is not new at all. It points to the oldest kind of government in the world’s history–One Man Rule–but on a world-wide scale. Informed sources have stated that talented scholars, who look for avenues of power, are often “acquired” by the sons of billionaires to show them how their immense wealth can be directed so that they can rule the world. In this instance, let’s give Rex Tugwell due credit. This program has been made possible by deliberate and successful attacks made on our time-honored Constitution by Dictator-minded “One Worlders” to confuse bemused citizens and purported “Representatives” on Capitol Hill and in our various State Governments. Many feel that the most appropriate and effective way to confront Tugwell and the leading collaborators of this proposed subversive “Constitution” would be via the scaffold. IT IS HIGH TIME TO “CLEAN HOUSE” AND RESET OUR BELABORED SHIP OF STATE ON A SOUND, CONSTRUCTIVE COURSE. LET THE “CHIPS” FALL WHERE THEY MAY. CONCLUDING COMMENTS I have said before, this subversive “New Constitution” is not new at all. History’s pages portray the oldest form of government known to man as “One Man Rule.” The main thrust of Tugwell’s deceitful document makes one realize that a few, ruthless, misguided men of great wealth have lost all social and civic balance due to their possessing a vast call upon real wealth, through the medium of exchange called “money.” They should be hauled before the courts and punished for subversion, possible malfeasance, and even treason. Fellow Citizens, if your American Citizenship, and thus, your sovereignty, is not worth defending, at all costs–as something of great value; a shining heritage handed down to you by the bold efforts of your enlightened ancestors–then you and I, with our families, will continue our rapid descent on the internationalist-constructed toboggan slide to obscurity. We have been unsuspectingly placed on this slippery slide by cunning One-World-Order Forces. Today, in our Nation’s Bi-Centennial Year, you and I should ponder this deeply. I say it is high time to “clean house,” in and out of government; to clean out, by all legal means, the subversive elements of One-World-Order ideology, brought here from abroad; the, build anew. We can do it, and we must. However, to survive as Free Men, as the masters of our individual destiny, we should adhere, strictly, to the Articles of our matchless Constitution. Let’s get started. Although many Americans have been brainwashed via the intensive down-grading mis-education program foisted upon us by a few wealthy Corporate Socialists to alter our form of government for their profit, by control of monetary policies, vast raw materials, and even peoples’ lives, we must boldly confront this sinister threat and ACT. Repulse this secretive, well-financed wave of Subversion before it becomes too late to act. I recall that my Father-in-Law, Franklin Roosevelt, once stated, “Nothing happens in Politics by chance. If it happens, it was planned that way.” Hence, looking closely at this Tugwell Constitution “Thing,” it did not just “happen” overnight. Far from it. What individuals secretly planned and financed it for their Dictatorial Objectives? Dare we ignore such a subversive ideological onslaught coming from a non-elected, self-appointed group? Certainly not. Are we to listen, abjectly, to the honeyed words of “Front Man” Tugwell, the leading “Monday morning Quarter-Back” on “The Center’s” team for civic planning, as we observe his efforts to pick purported “holes” in our revered Constitution? Certainly not. We must draw the battle lines, today. In so doing, let us recall that, in San Antonio, during the historic battle of the Alamo, Colonel Travis lay on a pallet, severely wounded, after days of sustained attack by vastly superior enemy forces. Drawing a line with his saber on the dirt floor of the Alamo, he said to his small force of heroic defenders, gathered about him, “All those who wish to stay with me and continue to fight, step this side of the line. Those who wish to depart, may do so now. Texas history proudly states that all of the Alamo’s defenders stepped to Col. Travis’ side of the line–to fight for Liberty. Americans can take great pride in recalling that famous war cry, “Remember the Alamo!” They can also say, referring to Greek history, “Thermopylae had its messenger of defeat; the Alamo had none.” Let us keep that faith. Let us confront and put to route these Misguided Imposters. Today, every American should “step this side of the line” to defend and restore their splendid heritage now being eroded by subversive Parasites and International Financiers. Fellow Citizens, “Remember the Alamo! Step this side of the Line!”

We had excellent speakers during the entire event to include mini-speech introductions by the bonus members and their reasons for running which make you feel so proud of the people of our great Nation. We had several different age groups represented but I was most impressed with the presentations by the young Republicans that reminded the Party that they are ready to take the leadership in a new direction back to its original conservative founding principles. The basic principles of sound created money based on true growth of free markets, of real prosperity not debt, private property and liberty. Young men and women from El Paso County are encouraged to study, share their concerns or skills, and learn more about the Republican Party and its principles. 
We had an excellent bright blue sky the morning of the chili cook-off and beach party. It was great getting up early after taking care of personal things and then try to contribute to an event that helps with projects for the year. The food was great and I could not believe the many varieties of chili available. As always is great to see people that take some time out to partipate in community activities especially if its to improve dialogue, education and sharing in concerns that will help us become an even better State. 
Many soldiers returning from Iraq or other duty stations may suffer from post traumatic stress and also need to have time for adjusting when returning. At times spouses could get excited and is only natural, however soldiers may not respond accurately since they go through an adjustment period. Conflicts could occur in which significant others may inaccurately think the spouse does not care about family issues etc., and is just that the soldier needs adjustment time and as the following newsletter below by Dr. Correy a former Marine of years past and now helping care for soldiers in the courts, naturally it takes a while to adjust with some difficult repressed emotions to surface later. Family conflict could result at the wrong time and consequently hurt the soldier and in addition the family when a situation or argument occurs that later places a mark on them and later cannot be reversed yet making situations worse instead of better for all concerned.
I could relate a lot to how even in peace time minor conflicts could occur as for example, when the Army Rangers returned from a special assignment to Panama. I was a first seargents wife and all the wives were dressed up, hair done, manicured nails, etc, many with small children in their arms waiting for their plane to land at the military field. Well the plane was late, delayed and it started raining like crazy, thundering, the wives hair I kid you not soaked for I was one, shoes drenched hair all wet, kids tired crying they wanted to go home, pretty dresses now wet with many already frustrated and others with kids wanting to go home and play. The CO wife would say, "Yikes, I guess I will get some phone calls tonight", hopefully all goes well, everyone and everyone will be as happy tomorrow when all are rested and adjusted to the guys being back. The soldiers did arrive and had to process their equipment many looking tired as heck for they had a long plane flight in addition to their special training duty operations there etc. So, late that night a very tired soldier walks in the home to maybe find the spouse frustrated naturally so, and a small argument could ensue from both having a long day, long absence etc,. The soldier may not quickly notice that the spouse is still wearing her new dress, maybe even her new make-up so we could see how if an argument happens and a call gets made "Domestic Violence" the norm quick label resolution could occur that later in a few days of all adjusting could had been avoided. Education to the families in this area is better than to just have a system that quickly criminalizes the soldier later hurting the family further when they lose their income or get tied up in courts. 
One of biggest threats to American health is the constant advertising and push for new profitable pharmaceutical products with the recent product positioning in the consumers mind patented vaccines. “Pharmaceutical companies, for example, now spend more than $ 4 billion annually on direct-to-consumer prescription drug advertising, to complement traditional selling and free samples directed only at doctors.” (Kerin, R. A., Hartley, S. W. & Rudelius, W. (2009). Marketing: the core. New York, NY: McGraw-Hill/Irwin, pg. 345). $4 billion spent per year just to advertise us into getting or asking doctors for prescriptions is a lot of money enough that when added in years it could help reduce State budget problems. It was cute when Chevy Chase portrayed an American father working as a producer and product developer for food additives in the movie Family Vacation; however sad when we allow these type of professions become the norm as if the only thing that we are good at is making and producing drugs now taking it global with the hype on global population vaccinations and even the insane Orwellian talk of forcing them on the citizenry. There is a lot at stake for we had an economic crisis delivered on us and now a second just as bizarre circumstance placing all our loved ones health on the line with very few truly questioning the origin of the situation and now the rush on vaccines being fast tracked almost bypassing the FDA rigorous normal testing. In business this is ideal for a corporation to have such an opportunity to fast track a product and avoid more thorough comprehensive testing and the full documented follow up on the trial subjects.
The last thing Americans or the general population needs is more drugs or pharmaceutical products to include vaccines ; especially from companies that in the past have allowed 
Proposition 103: Raising Taxes for Education Pro and Against Study
October 20, 2011
prescinct368cor Uncategorized Pro and against commentary on Proposition 103, Proposition 103, tax payers, Taxes to fund education 1 Comment
Vote on Election day November 1, 2011 or by mail ballot prior.
This is information from the League of Women Voters brochure and other pertinent information from other civic leaders view points for info. click here, Proposition 103: What is the cost to Taxpayers.
Againts the measure viewpoints:
Those opposed say:1. In this poor economy, the last thing families and small businesses can handle is yet another tax and fee burden. Proposition 103 presents an 8% increase in income taxes for individuals and corporations and a 3.4% increase in sales taxes over current levels –approximately a 7% increase in the government budget at a time when the economy is growing at less than 1%. The increased fees would also apply to monthly telephone and energy bills. Raising sales taxes burdens lower-income consumers the most because they spend a higher percentage of their overall budget on everyday necessities that are subject to sales tax.
Finally, Proposition 103 is a job killer with a projected 30,500 jobs lost over the next six years. Higher taxes on businesses mean less money to hire new employees, or to pay higher wages and benefits.
2. The petition was sold deceptively as a “rollback” to 1999 levels, but taxes were higher then. This theme of deception also tells taxpayers the money will go to education, but the increased taxes actually are deposited in the General Fund, which legislators may direct as they see fit. Although this proposal is sold as a temporary tax increase, will the fiscal climate change enough in five years to allow the elimination of these increases?
3. Until we really reform our educational system to meet the needs of the 21st century, it’s foolish to continue to throw the scarce resource of hard-earned money into a failing system. More money for schools has not improved student performance. We’re just paying more for teacher pensions and administration.
Next:
Those in favor say:
1. Investing in public education will lead to a stronger and quicker economic recovery. For Colorado to thrive, we need a well-educated workforce and good public schools that can attract quality businesses and good-paying jobs. Businesses value a robust public education system that provides an educated workforce, and employees want to live in communities with good schools for their children.
2. Our schools have experienced irresponsible and short-sighted cuts for three years, raising class sizes and reducing the educational opportunities for students. Our schools are now being asked to do more with less. Districts have been forced to close schools and lay off teachers, hurting education services and the local economy. Even before the recent budget cuts, Colorado ranked at the bottom of education funding, spending $1,781 less than the national average on k-12 students. The funding cuts to higher education have forced tuition to increase rapidly. Average tuition has increased 43 % over five years, making college less accessible for lower and middleclass families.
3. Now is the time to stop the drastic cuts and start reinvesting in our local schools and colleges to make Colorado competitive. Proposition 103 is a modest proposal which provides much needed relief from further education funding cuts, allowing policy makers, including voters, time to implement a long-term solution. By temporarily restoring the tax rates we had throughout the economic times of the 1990s and directing the revenue to education, Proposition 103 will provide the resources to begin reinvesting in our children’s.
Summary and some research material follows:
More debate into this matter needed to be done for the truth is that the more money that gets thrown into a problem the worst it seems to get such as the with the war on drugs, illiteracy, health system etc., with bureaucracies benefiting the most while the public pays for the increases. Why not leave the money in the parents pockets so they can purchase schools supplies, private tutoring, etc. vs. giving it to the government that often gives away TAX PAYERS money to foreign banks, foreign governments and to a plethora of foreign wars that buy weapons while our voters, schools and small business suffers; and who were once the pillars of the free-enterprise and local communities strength. As long as we indulge these mega spenders by allowing them to pass the brunt of their irresponsibility and reckless spending even syphoning our money with not audits or oversights the more that they will be encouraged to SPEND and SPEND some more. I would just send Bernanke a bill so we get some of our money that was vaporized back for our educational system. Also, some countries are outsourcing their students to the United States while they benefit by having no middle class but depleting the middle class in the US who have to pay for some of the bureaucrats wish of a future NORTH AMERICAN UNION that they wish by merging Canada, Mexico and the United States but have our schools and tax payers slowly paying for the process and the incremental integration. Tax Payers need to stand-up to the plundering our our General funds going into speculations and money vaporizing unfunded projects.
Excess taxation is becoming a form of serfdom and abuse to our rule of law. Also , many corporations are not paying any tax when going global and offshoring our jobs often forgeting to help our US communities. This is just my opinion but taxes on top of job loses does not make a lot of sense. Spending should be cut from the federal excess bureaucracies or departments that do nothing but incrementally take our Nation towards a global fiscal irresponsible form of central global government that has many money missing and countries bailing each other out perhaps leading to a world collapse. NO, we do not need to keep taking on the burden at tax payers shoulders and more solutions need to be studied not just placing the brunt of bureaucrats irresponsibility at the shoulders of barely working at a good job citizens.
