Opponents have charged that the SPP will result in the establishment of a North American Union, much on the same lines as the European Union. In response to its critics, the SPP has added a "SPP Myths vs. Facts" section to its website at www.SPP.gov. According to the "Myths vs. Facts" document the SPP is simply a "dialogue" among the three countries to "enhance prosperity". It goes on to say the SPP is not an agreement, nor is it a treaty. It says "no agreement was ever signed." The truth is, on March 23, 2005, President Bush met at his ranch in Crawford, Texas with Vicente Fox and Paul Martin (then PM of Canada) in what they called a Summit. The three heads of state then drove to Baylor University in Waco, where they issued a press release announcing their signing of an agreement to form the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America (SPP). This year, on March 31, 2006, Bush. Fox and new Canadian PM, Stephen Harper met in Cancun, Mexico. This time their press release celebrated what they called the first anniversary of the SPP. The use of the word "dialogue" is a carefully selected euphemism designed to make the SPP sound like an innocent discussion among friends. To admit that it is anything more would force the government to provide Constitutional justification for its actions. Moreover, the SPP says it won't change our court system or legislative process, and that it respects the sovereignty of each nation. And, says the SPP Myths and Facts document, it strongly rejects the idea that it is creating a European Union-like structure. That defence is almost laughable in light of the massive activity-taking place in the SPP office located in the Commerce Department. First one must know that the European Union was also originally sold to the nations on the European continent as simply a trade and security framework. The idea, said proponents, was to create an economic structure to allow a combined European economy to compete with the United States and other economic powerhouses. Only a few years later nations were told they needed a common currency to provide seamless trade. At the same time, the working groups organizing the EU policy, began to morph into what today has become a European Union parliament, which now is working to create a means of taxation, regulation of commerce and a court system. Now, in offices buried in the bureaucratic structures of the United States, Canada and Mexico, twenty "working groups" are hard at work writing policy initiatives for the SPP, covering a wide range of issues including, the manufacture and movement of goods across the borders of the three North American nations: creating a common energy policy and common environmental regulations over the three nations; regulating E-commerce and information communications and technologies; establishing financial services, including loan policy and foreign aid policy; overseeing business facilitation, creating the rules under which businesses will operate in the three nations; establishing food and agriculture policy; and overseeing transportation and health policy. These policy directives will infringe on every aspect of our lives. Can anyone seriously accept the Administration's explanation that nothing really important is going on here? That this is only a friendly discussion taking place? That nothing will change in the way our government operates? If that were so, then why are we doing it? Why are so much time, money and energy being taken up in an effort that means nothing? The answer, of course, is that a lot is going on. http://www.agoracosmopolitan.com/home/Fron...9/21/01229.html
