Citizen Petition Opposing the North American Union

The Issue:
There is a strong movement underway to create a new North American �framework� that links the U.S., Mexico and Canada in ways that are a direct threat to the sovereignty of the United States. The centerpiece of current efforts is the Security and Prosperity Partnership (SPP) — a trilateral arrangement made without Congressional approval to facilitate economic, legal and political integration in this new North American �framework.�

Citizen Petition
Grasfire.org is launching this Citizen Petition opposing these developments to build a North American �framework� — including the SPP, the NAFTA superhighway and efforts to encourage open borders �migration� within the three countries. Our immediate goal is to rally 100,000 signers to be presented to the Bush Administration within 30 days of the August 2007 SPP summit in Canada. Simply complete the form below to sign.

Please help us rally 100,000 signers in time for the SPP Summit August 20-21. Grassfire is seeking to have petitions on hand as part of planned protests at the summit.

The Petition States:

As a concerned U.S. citizen, I am signing this petition stating my opposition to efforts that lead to the development and formation of a North American Union combining the U.S., Mexico and Canada. Such a �union� is a direct threat to U.S. sovereignty, national security and economic stability. In addition: SPP: I oppose the Security and Prosperity Partnership (SPP) — a trilateral arrangement formed without Congressional oversight designed to create regulatory, economic, other institutional structures that facilitate economic, legal and political integration between the U.S., Canada and Mexico. Border Security: I oppose proposed regulatory and border security changes that eliminate or reduce U.S. border controls and encourage open migration within a common U.S.-Mexico-Canada region. NAFTA Highway: I oppose the construction of the NAFTA Superhighway system and other measures designed to create a borderless, open transit system within North America. Congressional Oversight: I am deeply concerned that the SPP has not been subject to Congressional oversight or approval. Any such multi-national agreements must be submitted for Congressional approval. As such, I support Congressional Resolution 40 which opposes the North American Union and NAFTA Superhighway.
