Rep. Tom Tancredo, R-Colo., is demanding the Bush administration fully disclose the activities of an office implementing a trilateral agreement with Mexico and Canada that apparently could lead to a North American union, despite having no authorization from Congress.
As WND reported, the White House has established working groups, under the North American Free Trade Agreement office in the Department of Commerce, to implement the Security and Prosperity Partnership, or SPP, signed by President Bush, Mexican President Vicente Fox and then-Canadian Prime Minister Paul Martin in Waco, Texas, March 23, 2005.
The groups, however, have no authorization from Congress and have not disclosed the results of their work despite two years of massive effort within the executive branches of the U.S., Mexico and Canada.
Tancredo wants to know the membership of the SPP groups along with their various trilateral memoranda of understanding and other agreements reached with counterparts in Mexico and Canada.
Tancredo's decision has been endorsed by Jim Gilchrist, founder of the Minuteman Project.
"It's time the Bush administration to come clean," Gilchrist told WND. "If President Bush's agenda is to establish a new North American union government to supersede the sovereignty of the United States, then the president has an obligation to tell this to the American people directly. The American public has a right to know."
Geri Word, who heads the SPP office, told WND the work had not been disclosed because, "We did not want to get the contact people of the working groups distracted by calls from the public."
WND can find no specific congressional legislation authorizing the SPP working groups nor any congressional committees taking charge of oversight.
Many SPP working groups appear to be working toward achieving specific objectives as defined by a May 2005 Council on Foreign Relations 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.
We are being sold down the river by the Dems and the Republicans.....
....yeah God Bless Tom T. but we need to act too if it comes down to it.
Yawn, the tin foilers outrage of the second.
I've got no problem with Mexico and Canada as joining the US as states no. 51 and 52...but just as states. We already have a Union.
Tom is right on! This is a worrisome development. It looks like President Bush is more in favor of trade barriers, not border barriers!
Would be nice to have a straight response from the White House.
As olezip drives in his Toyota.
Good fences make good neighbors Period.
Obviously the need for oil (Canada's and Mexico's) a big part of this direction, as well as having more direct control/cooperation with anti-terror interdiction in the entire Western Hemisphere.
Fine, then I demand to know why tom tancredo accepted a public taxpayer paycheck from the Dept. of Education for 12 years.
You would give these 2 leftist powers 4, count em, 4 Senators....I think not....
Same way we cant make PR the 51st state. To many socialists.

OMG!! Not (cue the ominous music) Working Groups!
Yeah, world nut daily says so, so it is not a tin foil issue anymore.
JMO, you don't wear tin foil, you chew it up and eat it.
Crawl back under your rock Dane. Go help some illegals cross the border or something.
Beware of the stonecutters..
I think part of the problem is that some people are worried that this is seen as a purely republican issue. It's not, it's a continuous thing that's been going on since the first Bush administration, through the Clinton administration on to today.
The ultimate goal of both parties seems to be the same.
uh he wasn't an independent contractor, he was an actual employee of the Dept. of Education for 12 years.

Sorry Dane, but you're dead wrong for calling those who have been predicting this would happen for many years "tin-foilers".
Are you blind to what's happening right in front of your own eyes?
JMO, you don't wear tin foil, you chew it up and eat it.
LOL! It's a one-time treatment. No use wasting all that time making hats.
OOooooo, I'm so scared by your threat, punched into a keyboard under a rock somewhere.
Issues like this will separate True Conservative Patriots and "big tent" Republicans who just like low taxes, corporate outsourcing, and illegal immigrant cheap labor.
For those who think this is a "conspiracy theory" they can read the CFR report themselves. Of course they will have to pull their heads out of the sand to see it.

Then you are for the continuation of the Dept. of Education. Afterall it was that govt. agency that gave your hero tom tancredo, sustenance for 12 years.
Anybody on FR ever pledge allegiance or sign any sort of an oath of loyalty or anything like that to any sort of a super state including Canada and Mexico?
Dude, being a Busheep is sooo, like, 2003!
You should be banned like your buddy bayourod.
And being a tancredo/corsi nutburger NWO conspiracy theorist doesn't have a year.
Some people will believe paranoid conspiracy theories, year after year, just look at the DUmmies.
Yup, if this is all on the up and up, why does the administration seem to be so cagey about it? Reminds me of Hillary's health care task force. Nobody was told what was going on then, either.
As tancredo took a taxpayer paycheck for 12 years, with that "troubled"(your words) agency.
Do you have anything to say about the issue of the possible unification of Canada-US-Mexico, or are you just going to bash Tancredo? I have my issues with Tancredo, but on this "one world government" nonsense, he's right on the money, trying to shine the light of truth.
Bush, Fox, Martin outline trilateral efforts during March 23 meetingSo go crawl back under your rock and wait for the next Illegal Alien thread to spew your socialistic, pro law breaking, open border, Anti-American tripe on.THE WHITE HOUSE, Office of the Press Secretary, (Crawford, Texas) March 23, 2005

There truly is justice; sheesh.
JMO, seems like Mr. tancredo was taking a glorified welfare check, afterall look at his resume, the vast majority of his "work" experience has been on the public payroll and not in wealth creating entities.
There truly is NO justice; sheesh.
Perhaps you mean as olezip drives his Ford F-150! We must secure our borders, language, and culture to ensure that the United States remains as the greatest country in the world.
Bash tancredo and world nut daily, who are using a year old in the sunlight agreement to try to prop up their lagging and pitiful state of being.
I think this might be a paper tiger. Bush isn't planning a North American Union. Get real.
The turkeys yawn and play ostrich, while the new royals feast on their careless carcases.
Busheep alert! BAAAAHHHHH
