PHOENIX - A veteran Republican lawmaker is accusing President Bush of pushing a behind-the-scenes agenda that will result in the United States being merged with Mexico and Canada.
State Sen. Karen Johnson, R-Mesa, said she believes the Security and Prosperity Partnership, being run out of the White House and the U.S. Department of Commerce, is little more than a secret plan to end U.S. sovereignty by 2010. And she said Congress is being kept in the dark until the point that it becomes a done deal.
Johnson, who will head the Senate Education Committee this coming session, said the signs already are there, from an "inland port'' in Kansas City and construction of a superhighway corridor through Texas to the lack of any real action in building a wall between the U.S. and Mexico.
"It's all because it's going to be open,'' Johnson told Capitol Media Services. "It's all going to be a 'North American community,' just like the European Union,'' she continued, complete with the creation of a single currency just like the Euro.
"We will have no sovereignty, we will have no Constitution left,'' said Johnson, first elected to the Legislature in 1996.
And that, she said, will make moot all of the other arguments that tend to divide the nation like abortion and gay rights.
"We're not going to be able to argue those rights any more because we are going to be ruled by unelected tribunals, bureaucrats that are unelected,'' she said.
Johnson said she shared her concerns with some members of the state's congressional delegation during a recent trip to Washington.
What they think, however, is unclear: Calls to the offices of Jeff Flake and Rick Renzi, both of whom Johnson said she sat with, were not returned; an aide to Rep. John Shadegg said he "listened to Sen. Johnson's concerns and we are gathering further information on the matter.''
Johnson said she wants congressional hearings on the process. And she said if federal lawmakers determine that Bush is undermining national sovereignty that would be an impeachable offense.
White House press aide Alex Conant said Johnson has no reason for concern.
"This cooperative effort aims to make the U.S., Canada and Mexico more open to fair trade and less open to terrorism and crime,'' he said.
The partnership does include the leaders of the three countries.
But Conant said there is nothing in the process or any agreements which would undermine or overturn U.S. laws.
"In no way does it change our courts or legislative processes,'' he said. "And it respects the sovereignty of the U.S., Mexico and Canada.''
Johnson is not alone in her claims.
Phyllis Schlafly, president and founder of the Eagle Forum, has written columns for her organization questioning the Bush administration's lack of interest in stopping illegal immigration. She suggested the administration "is pursuing a globalist agenda by means of a series of press releases (without authority from Congress or the American people.)''
And author Jerome Corsi has argued that letting working groups of the partnership rewrite U.S. administrative laws "are arguably creating the legal infrastructure for a regional government to emerge by administrative fiat.''
This isn't Johnson's first battle over what she believes are threats to the nation's sovereignty.
In 2000 she introduced a resolution that would call for the abolition of the federal government and allow individual states to reassume their sovereign rights if the president, Congress or any other federal agent were to declare martial law and suspend the Constitution. These states then would be free to form a new nation - with a new president and a new Congress.
Last year she sent letters to members of Congress who voted for the Central American Free Trade Agreement, saying that and the earlier North American pact "will ultimately make corporations and politicians richer and more powerful, U.S. citizenship meaningless, the taxpayers more oppressed and the Constitution and U.S. sovereignty as dated as hula hoops.'' Johnson also has been at the forefront of legislative efforts to warn people that so-called "silver'' fillings - an amalgam that includes mercury - are dangerous.

The bottom line is this...there is no North American Union conspiracy. There are no secret committees with secret handshakes and call signs working under the cover of darkness to sell out our national sovereignty. Congressman Tom Tancredo's name has recently been linked to all of these theories but when asked about the Congressman's thoughts Carlos Espinosa, Tancredo's media director said, "Tom Tancredo does not believe in the North American Union conspiracy." He added that Tancredo "believes Bush wants to open up the borders, but he doesn't believe he wants to combine the U.S., Canada, and Mexico and create a unified currency."

Thanks for posting this as I am sure this will get very little air time.
OK...it's time we stop drug testing supermarket cashiers and start testing Congress.
You never know who to believe any more. If one believes in end times prophesy, then you'll know that our govt. as we know it will cease to exist and in comes the one world govt., religion, etc.
"Thanks for posting this as I am sure this will get very little air time."
On FR or in the mainstream media?
Crazy lady alert!
If they ever try something like this,a lot of folks in this country will be voting from the rooftops.Better steal our guns before you try to steal our rights.
He do!
Mainstream. I get virtually all of my news from FR. It is the only place that I believe, we will ever see the real news.
That's on the liberal agenda.
I can't get your link to work.
Actually she is a state rep.
"You never know who to believe any more. If one believes in end times prophesy, then you'll know that our govt. as we know it will cease to exist and in comes the one world govt., religion, etc."
Here's Dr Tony Beam 11 months ago shuddering over globalism as we approach the end times. He doesn't fear the NAU however.

"Perhaps the most chilling part of this new U.N. call for globalization comes from none other than former President Bill Clinton and U.N. Secretary General Kofi Annan. Both have mentioned security as the most important international concern and both men believe personal security within a country trumps that countries right to an established border or claim of national sovereignty. In fact, in the name of "security" the U.N. Development program calls for the U.N. Trustee Council to have "trusteeship" over the "global commons." The global commons is defined to be "the atmosphere, outer space, the oceans beyond national jurisdiction, and the related environment and life-support system that contribute to the support of human life." How ambitious can the U.N. be? They hope to claim control over the ocean, outer space, and every eco-system on the planet."
"Better steal our guns before you try to steal our rights."
After they have stolen your gun the loss of your rights will come very easy.
Someone has spent WAY too much time in the midsummer desert sun.
Them too.
The link in reply 2 should work. Or else go to Dr. Tony Beam's website.
