Author Jerome Corsi filed a Freedom of Information Act request yesterday asking for full disclosure of 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.
Corsi specifically has requested the partnership's membership lists, constitutive documents, meeting minutes, meeting agendas and meeting schedules as well as all findings, reports, presentations or memoranda.
He also wants all comments to representatives of the "Prosperity Working Groups" or other working groups, committees or task forces associated with the partnership along with internal and external interagency or intra-agency memoranda of understanding, letters of intent, agreements, initiatives and budgeting documents.
The purpose of the FOIA, he said, is to get the "full facts exposed in the light of day, available for the American people and for Congress to examine and decide."
Rep. Tom Tancredo, R-Colo., is demanding the Bush administration fully disclose the activities of the SPP office.
Fortunately, we still have committed conservatives like Jerome Corsi of the Swift Boat Veterans and Representative Tom Tancredo remaining vigilant. We must eventually choose: Commerce or Sovereignty?
In the past, many have suggested the mere notion of a North American Union was a conspiracy. However, the Council on Foreign Relations has made their intent clear.

Furthermore, the Bush Administration has moved this plan from theory to reality through the creation of the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America. http://www.spp.gov/
I urge you to write your Senator and your Representative. These fine patriots cannot win this issue alone.

Aaaaah!!
The Black Helicopters!!!
MAKE THEM GO AWAY!!!!

Break out the tin-foil.
I suppose you think that you appear intelligent by suggesting that Rep Tancredo and other concerned citizens are looking into the SPP.
Actually, because you are obviously unwilling to look at the research, you look more like liberals than anything.
Fortunately for us, most conservatives arent like you guys.
Read the documents. Its not a conspiracy. Its Policy.
Most conservatives are exactly like me, voting for President Bush rather than Senator Kerry or journalist Corsi or Congressman Tancredo (a good man).
You are the fringe. Your guy doesn't get elected nationally. Running around shouting that you've just seen Bigfoot isn't going to win any national elections for you.
Who do you think is behind this?
I bet critics of the SPP from the anti-American factions in Canada and Mexico think this is an attempt by the U.S. to increase our influence and spread our wretched freedoms, civil rights, and cultural imperialism to their sacred shores.
And they'd probably be closer to the truth as to what will happen than the people who think the U.S. will succumb under influence from either Mexico for Canada.
Actually, almost every conservative I have talked to supports Corsi's and Tancredo's effort to bring this issue to light.
Being conservative does not mean that we must support President Bush on every issue. (ie UAE/Dubai port deal and Illegal Immigration).
I hope you take the time and effort to read the documents before you pass judgment. I seriously doubt Rep. Tancredo or Jerome Corsi would be doing this because of some black helicopter theory. They are the finest patriots, and you really should think twice before you dismiss them.
If the international regulatory body makes rules on transportation, health, security, borders, etc instead of our elected congress (which is the case since the SPP is solely an executive branch project with no congressional oversight), then the American voter will lose our ability to control the destiny.
We Conservatives are for smaller, more responsive and accountable government, not international entanglements and superstate bureaucracies, arent we?
I'm going to go with the "wait and see" crowd.
The SPP is a "concern", but as of yet it hasn't proven itself to be a "danger". And it may actually be beneficial. Only way to find out is to see what they come up with.
I'm not interested in just "winning national elections", my interest runs to protecting my grandsons future. I am tired of the "trust me, I'm a republican" crap, I want to know what is planned, no matter who is planning it. The worst damned shaftings I've had in my life were from a wife of 26 years, who I trusted, and a lifetime friend and business partner, who tried to take everything my ex wife didn't. Why should I trust someone just because they are "Republican", or claim to be? They are just as capable of shafting me as any democrat.

Not every issue can be analyzed in terms of presidential votes. This is one of them.
Namely because the two choices we are offered are united in the globalist outcome. Party hacks like you really don't have much to say that's substantive on threads like this. You just make yourself look like an denial crazed manipulator.
Corsi and the other wackjobs have twisted this whole concept into something it is not.
We make agreements with other countries all the time, but that doesn't mean that we're becoming a single nation. Geez, if that were true, we'd all be one country because of the agreements regarding liability for luggage on airplanes.
I'm sick of reading this hysteria at this forum. It's embarrassing.
Then by all means, post something that justifies this crap with the Constitution. I would like to read why this isn't a blow to our sovereignty.
Sorry, but the burden is on you. You're the one screaming bloody murder.
You show us where we've surrendered sovereignty. You can't because we haven't.
Seems to me that's why Corsi have files a FOIA request, which is the point of this article that you called an embarrassment.
Oh, so he has no evidence, and that's reason enough to go hysterical.
It looks as if the borders that they are more intent on defending - probably for national security reasons - are the outer borders of all of North America.
Another consideration regarding national security concerns is that we get most of our oil from Canada and Mexico.
Bush has had a real mess dumped in his lap since he became president, and there are no "good" or "easy" options / solutions for him.
I do know that his #1 priority every day is his "duty" to protect the American people. That would NOT be the case with a RAT president.

A deal like this needs to be open from the gitgo. It should be discussed as it is drafted, not as a done deal.
Every detail should be open to scrutiny, and discussion.
You can bet that the planners are assuming the final product will go through, and they should not be allowed to feel that confident.
Even if one is willing to give him the benefit of the doubt, it's tough to explain his certainty that this conspiracy exists while (by filing his FOIA request) all but admitting he doesn't have the whole story.
The whole idea that President Bush is somehow negotiating the end of this country in secret and that he even has the power to implement such a harebrained scheme is beyond ridiculous.
It could not possibly happen.
Yet we have had a least a dozen threads here recently suggesting that this is precisely what's going on, and a bunch of idiots here are actually buying into it.
This is an IQ test.
Lucky guess? One speculation is as good as the next.
Who do you think?
LOL . . . more like a DNC effort, in concert with some useful idiots, to cull our herd during an Election Year.
You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
Interestingly enough, Jerome Corsi is FReeper jrlc. He stopped posting in August, 2004.
He's got a bunch of FRiends, though, posting his every WND piece on this.
Whatever you want to say about him, he isn't stupid. He's doing a fine job of marketing himself.
I'm not sure the nutbags buying this story have voted Republican in recent memory.
They're more into the spooky music candidates.
C'mon, these guys want to have fun storming the castle.
Their political ideology is just mostly dead.
Yeah, but the usual suspects are treating tem as REALLY dead and going through their pockets for loose change.
That's a purty flag...NOT
I agree completely. It will be interesting to see how his book fares. Making the FOIA request now, instead of during the buzz of the last couple of weeks, or even earlier as he was ostensibly researching his book is a stroke of genius.
FOIA requests take forever to adjudicate. If he's looking for that material for his book, the publication date is somewhere around 2018.
If, on the other hand, he doesn't want to bother with the FOIA material and merely engage in fact-free fear-mongering, then this is perfectly timed.
I just knew there would be some good news on this thread!
He either gets something useful or not. If he does then he can strut. If he doesn't then he can hold up the empty form as proof that there's some high level cover-up going on.
win-win.
He's been committed? What's the name of the institution? I'd like to send him some crossword puzzles or something.
Marriage is a wonderful institution for those who need to be committed. ~()):~)>
The CSM is at this very moment planning Corsi's demise.
The North American Union can't be stopped!! The conspiracy will continue.
Tell the CSM I think it would be cool to use HAARP for this one.
LOL
I just hope you guys will wait and see what he finds from the FOIA request.
In the meantime I urge you to read the reports. It is apparent that many of you have not.
Exactly
Filing a FOIA request is 'going hysterical'?
You seem to be the one who wants to hype up the drama. Get a grip.
