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.
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
Yeah like leading by example(i.e getting a 6 figure check as a Congressman and reneging on a campaign promise to serve only three terms in Congress)
Oh let's not forget his home basement theater being built by foreign born labor and when that is found out, he blames the contractor and says he was to busy to notice who is building his home basement theater in Colorado since he was in DC.
How does that apply to the question at hand? And have you ever hired a contractor? It sounds more like your problem with him is just petty dislikes and nothing of substance.
read the report. go to the SPP site and read where it discusses setting up PERMANENT regulatory bodies. Read where it seeks the ultimate end to the physical borders.
I wish you were right Bro...but you arent.
"OMG!! Not (cue the ominous music) Working Groups!"
Well, I guess you're ok with "working groups" setting our immigration policies and also enforcing them, as it is described in the aformentioned documents?
Yup! And that is what one should expect when contributions control the party, and the same big syndicates fund both sides. Kruschev said it, and the world syndicates did it - overthrowing the country without firing a shot.
Wow, you just described tancredo's attitude towards President Bush.
And I demand to know why you keep bringing that up like it matters. A conservative may bring something like that up because it might demonstrate that the person they're describing MAY end up with a liberal voting record. In the case of Rep. Tom Tancredo, however, a rational person can't say that about his voting record as it is solidly conservative. You've been told this over and over and over again yet you keep bringing up the Dept. of Education job like it is some sort of attack. It is not. It makes no sense that you keep repeating it. If it mattered at all you would see him voting in favor of the NEA position. In fact, he consistantly receives a 0% rating from the NEA.
I also demand to know why you hate the people who teach our children? And why you hate people with Italian surnames?
I demand to know why you think it is appropriate to continually abuse this conservative forum by posting unending slander against a solid conservative.
I demand to know why you would use this conservative forum to attack a conservative with a sterling conservative voting record like this:
And this is why you and the rest of the leftist scum Tancredo Trashers hate him:
