The United States and six members of the Organization of American States have signed new agreements on trade and the environment.

The agreements are aimed at strengthening environmental protection and creating a Secretariat for Environmental Matters to help implement the environmental provisions of the Central American Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA).

The accords were signed in Washington D.C. Friday by senior representatives of the governments of Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua and the United States.

Quietly, the 'conservative' 'America First' Bush Administration has just signed on to another layer of government, one unaccountable to US voters, which hopes to move the America's into the next European Union, only quicker this time.

I'd sure like to know where these people think they have the Constitutional authority to make deals like this.

This isn't a treaty; it's a "trade agreement." Trade agreements are (supposedly) not treaties. Thus NAFTA did not requrire the 2/3 vote of senators present, which is bogus on the face of it.

I think it's a good idea, do you want the Chicoms and Castro to have any more power in the area than they already have ?

The long range plan is to divide the world into administrative regions under a global government.

We are over halfway there. NAFTA, CAFTA, EU, etc...

So long Constitutional Republic, hello global soviet union.

Why is congress so willing to give up it's powers? It's either to these "trade agreements" or to some judge and they just seem to say, okey doke!

Nope. I assume it's similar to a UN "Conference of the Parties" where the puke traitors who negotiated the beast get to administer it. It makes a handy place for corrupt backroom deals favoring multinational investors.

That has a nice 1960's Soviet Union feel to it.

I am not all that familier with free trade treaties and all of its implications but I fear that you may right. Is there no other possibility, that it may work out OK? Globalization VS Globalism? Oh hell who am I kidding Im just praying for a silver lining.

It's all about making money and Pax Americana. What do we have to fear from globalization, we are the melting pot world? Make sure you've got a gun if this globalization goes soviet on us though.

It seems your're right. NAFTA only passed 61-38. Thanks for informing me to this. I support free trade, but not through ignoring the Constitution.

Exactly!

Has the FTAA been signed yet?

So long Constitutional Republic, hello global soviet union.

A failed soviet union, at that. How did so few of our elected 'officials', along with a few judges manage to take America away from us? It beats all I've ever seen.
