At Saturday's state convention, while walking around and seeing the different candidates running for office, I met a few people who were campaigning on the agenda that, if elected, they would work toward stopping the creation of a North American Union. The North American Union they speak of would be similar to that of the European Union where the United States, Canada and Mexico would join together in a grand alliance of free trade, loosened borders, unrestricted travel, a common currency ( http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-6638097241299092586&hl=en ) and defense strategy.
Those who talk about such a union and the government's covert plans to bring it about will often site a paper written by the council on foreign relations. I thought it would be useful for you to read this paper for yourself. You can click on the link below to read it:

I have read it and do not find the recommendations threatening nor do I find the concept of working closer together for our common defense and prosperity a negative thing. I always have been and always will be for the principle that the government is ours and that all things must be done by the consent of the people and that to do anything else is a violation of oath and duty. It is my hope that any discussions to bring us closer together will be through open debate and the voice of the people.
Some progress has already been made to bring about these positive changes. You can read about them on the government's website for the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America: http://www.spp.gov/
At the convention those who spoke out against such a union or the progress towards it spoke about conspiracies, surrender of sovereignty, surrender of our rule of law and the surrender of our voice in the government. These same arguments were used against our own Union following the revolution. I would say that generally their fears never materialized and that the Union of the United States was the greatest event that could have happened to ensure the security and prosperity of our citizens.
The more we are able to break down the barriers that separate us and to become a people of common interests, values, principles, laws and goals the better we will be able to pursue the rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. God be thanked for our Union.
