Petition For National Advisory
Referendums on Stopping the
North American Union, the NAFTA
Superhighway and Mexican Trucks
With Mexican Truck Drivers on U.S.
Highways and Roads

 

This issue regards the coming North American Union between the United States, Mexico and Canada and the NAFTA Superhighway.

Forty-two Present Members of Congress have Co-sponsored a Congressional Resolution (House Congressional Resolution 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." (The names of the forty-two Present Members of Congress who have Co-sponsored this Resolution can been seen here: http:// thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/bdquery/z?d110:HC00040:@@@P)

In nineteen State Legislatures, Resolutions have been introduced in opposition to the North American Union and/or the NAFTA Superhighway. (A list of these States can be seen here: http://www.stopthenau.org/Current_Activities.htm)

President Bush, the President of Mexico and the Prime Minister of Canada declared their participation in the "Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America" (the basis for the North American Union) at the conclusion of their summit meeting in Waco, Texas on March 23, 2005. (This agreement can be seen on the White House Website at: www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2005/03/20050323-2.html) The significant progress toward the North American Union between the three Countries can be seen on the Government Website: www.spp.gov.

Congressman and Presidential Candidate Ron Paul stated that the proponents of a NAFTA Superhighway (from Mexico to Canada) want to build a "10-lane colossus the width of several football fields, with freight and rail lines, fiber-optic lines, and oil and natural gas pipelines running alongside." Congressman Paul went on to state, "The ultimate goal is not simply a superhighway, but an integrated North American Union - complete with currency, a cross-national bureaucracy, and virtually borderless travel within the Union" (July 22, 2007, Concord Monitor).

The issue at stake is the Sovereignty of the United States. In his book The Late Great USA: The Coming Merger with Mexico and Canada, Jerome Corsi, Ph. D., states, "We must demand our right to see the prospect of entering a North American Union brought before the American people and their elected representatives for an open referendum and a national vote."

The continued Sovereignty of the United States also directly effects the right of the American workers to keep their jobs.

On September 6, 2007 the United States began a "pilot" program to allow Mexican trucks with Mexican truck drivers greater access to U.S. Highways. "The hotly contested program, opposed by labor, independent truck owners and environmental groups, permits up to 500 trucks from 100 Mexican motor carriers full access to U.S. roads" (January 5, 2008, Associated Press). Prior to this "pilot" program, "Mexican trucks have had to stop within a buffer border zone and transfer their loads to U.S. trucks" (January 5, 2008, Associated Press).

If this "pilot" program, which will last to September 6, 2008, is "successful" then an unlimited number of Mexican trucks with Mexican truck drivers will have unlimited access to U.S. Highways. As a safety issue the question is: Do we want 80,000 pound unguided missiles from Mexico careering down our highways? As an issue of American jobs the question is: Do we want the present 1.3 Million American long haul truckers to be from Mexico or the United States?

The continued Sovereignty of the United States should rest in the hands of the American People. We are therefore proposing two National Advisory Referendums.
