Stop the Creation of a North American Community

 The Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America (http://www.spp.gov/), was introduced in 2005 by President Bush, in agreement with former President Fox (Mexico), and Prime Minister Martin. Our upcoming and new Presidential hopefuls and Prime Minister Stephen Harper, Barack Obama, and John McCain also back this proposal. The SPP Plans to tri-laterally integrate our continent into a North American Community/ North American Union, through the tools of North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and North America%u2019s SupperCorridor Coalition (NASCO) http://www.nascocorridor.com/.   This privatization and globalization effort was not put into vote by Congress instead was bypassed by back door agreements.

                This is not some mass conspiracy, this is fact, and the superhighways are real they are just not talked about or mediated. When direct statements are asked to either parties they tend to divert the answer or make a joke of the matter. These corridors alone cannot create a NAU, but are a brick in the wall. The EU was created in the same fashion; first it was a steel trade for e-commerce then integrated into smaller bodies and now forms larger bodies of government. The SPP has stirred the pot in a more open media in Canada where they have protested in Ottawa, and Montebello, there have been smaller protests in Texas also.  Lou Dobbs of CNN has been the only major reporter to touch on this issue, and he was persuaded to leave it alone.

                 Cintra/Zachry Corporation proposes to invest 7.2 Billion Dollars to develop approximately a 600-mile, Oklahoma to Mexico portion of the Trans Texas Corridor. The first phase of Cintra-Zachry's proposal calls for construction of a $6 billion toll road between Dallas and San Antonio by 2010. The innovative transportation partnership is attracting private capital to fund transportation improvements and reduce congestion in the region. Through eminent domain land will be seized or undersold to move forward with this mass transit corridor.

This multi-use corridor will include lanes for passenger vehicles, trucks and rail and dedicated zones for water, electric, telecommunications and other utility lines, this is just in Texas alone. This will ineffectively hurt our economy by taking farms and residential land of hardworking landowner%u2019s a potential 584,000 acres in Texas alone weakening our mom and pop stores that depend on traffic from the current roads. NAFTA has displaced over 1.3 million American jobs since emplaced in 1994, when were told it would help create job growth. Don%u2019t believe the hype. They plan to privatize the corridors and lease them out to big business, while we pay for it with our tax dollars and then have to pay toll on top off it. Once this is fully implemented there is no turning back, we cannot stop companies bypassing our Union freighting companies and our dockyards and directly shipping China%u2019s GDP across our borderlines to bring down costs. Hutchison Ports Holding (HPH) an owned subsidiary of China%u2019s Hutchison Whampoa Limited (HWL) is investing millions to expand deep-water ports in Mexico%u2019s Pacific coast.

Inland Smart Ports are now in play costing $3 million our tax dollars alone just in Kansas (http://www.kcsmartport.com/), other proposed ports are in Chicago. These inland Smart Ports will be partially ran by Mexican custom officials. This will lead to increased drug and human smuggling not to mention money laundering. The Mexican truck drivers will be then regulated under NAFTA road and safety guidelines and not our Road and Safety Commission. They also has Sintra/EZ passes in place equipped with RFID chips that are a green light for inspection, because it is a sealed trusted NAFTA product. Not only will Mexico itself become exploited but it will also hurt Canada and America too. (http://espanol.bajabound.com/before/permits/sentri.php)

NAFTA plans to build a superhighway the width of a football field through advantageous areas from the south end of Mexico through Texas, Kansas, Chicago, California, Detroit, Indiana, New York, Ottawa, Alberta along with Winnipeg. Not all of the corridors will be ass massive they will be based on the needs and the location of the proposals. If they are blocked by one area of route they have plan b and c. Here is a pdf. form of multiple proposed layouts. (http://www.keeptexasmoving.com/index.php/ttc_i69_current_map).

This will cause major damage to our trucking industries, shipping, and sea freight workers, which accounts for hundreds of thousands of people. This will make the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. SPP was formed behind closed doors without congressional approval, and with little public knowledge. They want to sell this to the public as a safety measure and will stop at nothing.  Here are a few bullets as to what they are trying to sell you on: The SSP home websites states-

• Coordinate our security efforts to better protect U.S. citizens from terrorist threats and transnational crime and promote the safe and efficient movement of legitimate people and goods; but the fact is this will not stop crime, it will only add to our drug war and illegal immigration. We buy into this, and will find out how much we will ultimately lose in the long run after it is said and done. It is importunate to educate one another and put a stop to this.
• Expand economic opportunity for all our people by making our businesses more competitive in the global marketplace, cutting red tape, and providing consumers with safe, less expensive, and innovative products; They say expand economic opportunity, but for whom, the only create a socioeconomic status. Cutting the red tape, they mean a.k.a. getting ride of the Unions, and profiteering off of cheap labor. Consumers with safe products, like the stuff that comes from China that kills our pets, and poisons our children's toys? Why don't you micromanage before globalization.
• %u201CEnhance our common efforts to combat infectious diseases, develop responses to man-made or natural disasters to enhance our citizen quality of life, protect our people and our environment, and improve consumer safety.%u201D Combat infectious disease, like the Salmonella in the peppers, or the Hepatitis C found in strawberries in Grand Rapids, MI? Develop response to natural disasters like with Katrina, when FEMA let 80 tons of food rot in a warehouse when people needed it.  So we are expected to believe that these roads will stop diseases and help response to man-made or natural disasters, when our own FEMA can%u2019t manage the job are we to depend on the roads for Mexico or China to help us? Not to mention the slow draining of poorer sections of New Orleans, while the richer sides of the city were drained out quicker. They well tell you what you want to believe, and try to keep this from public eye by keeping the media%u2019s reporting on this minimal. Listen folks if we don%u2019t stand up for something we fall for nothing. We need t stop these globalisation efforts and focus here at home on our jobs and health care and economic crises.

Please help inform yourself and other please research and contact your local or state Rep. This will hurt MI also with a purposed railroad line running along I-94.  I know some don%u2019t care about politics because it%u2019s a choice between the lesser of two evils or it%u2019s depressing at times, but it is vital we educate ourselves about pertinent issues because if we don%u2019t we lose democracy and things are allowed to happen without our voices being heard.
