"The Security and Prosperity Partnership is setting the stage for uniting the three nations of North America into a North American Union that will parallel for the West what the EU has done to Europe." John Birch Society president John F. McManus, a founding member of the Coalition to Block the North American Union, issued this warning at the coalition's August 20, 2007 news conference in Ottawa, Canada, not far from where President Bush and his counterparts from Mexico and Canada were meeting.

"The NAC [a new 'North American Commission'] should develop an integrated continental plan for transportation and infrastructure that includes new North American highways and high-speed rail corridors."

American University Professor Robert Pastor, a key architect of what critics have dubbed the "North American Union," included this recommendation in his January/February 2004 Foreign Affairs article entitled, "North America's Second Decade," a reference to the second decade after NAFTA.

"The ultimate goal is not simply a superhighway, but an integrated North American Union--complete with a currency, a cross-national bureaucracy, and virtually borderless travel within the Union.... It sounds like a recipe for transnational socialism and the further destruction of the U.S. economy. Terrorists surely dream of a borderless North America, where they can move freely from country to country unmolested.... We must demand that American sovereignty be protected."

Congressman Ron Paul (R-Texas) offered this assessment of the planned NAFTA trade corridors via video to the Coalition to Block the North American Union's August 20, 2007 news conference in Ottawa, Canada.

"I think the Bush administration has a master plan to erase all borders and to have a super-government in North America. There's talk about mega-ports down in Mexico and superhighway toll roads built with foreign money fight into the heart of America.... I am convinced that the plan to create a North American Union is what is going on.... I believe the Mexican truck demonstration is part of it."

Teamsters president James P. Hoffa told WorldNetDaily that the push to give Mexican trucks access to our highways is part of a larger plan.

"NAFTA has been a success."

President George W. Bush made this claim at the March 2005 Waco, Texas, summit meeting where he and his counterparts from Mexico and Canada launched the Security and Prosperity Partnership, as part of the step-by-step process for political and economic merger begun by NAFTA.

"For more than a century ideological extremists at either end of the political spectrum have seized upon well-publicized incidents such as my encounter with Castro to attack the Rockefeller family for the inordinate influence they claim we wield over American political and economic institutions. Some even believe we are part of a secret cabal working against the best interests of the United States, characterizing my family and me as 'internationalists' and of conspiring with others around the world to build a more integrated global political and economic structure--one world, if you will. If that's the charge, I stand guilty, and I am proud of it."

This incredible admission against self-interest was made by David Rockefeller in his own book, Memoirs (2002).

If you believe the United States is the most unique nation on Earth with a government designed to protect your natural liberties, an economic system unlike any other, and a judicial system unknown to any other nation, then a North American Union is a threat to all you hold dear."

American Policy Center president Tom DeWeese, a founding member of the Coalition to Block the North American Union, stated this in his April 2007 DeWeese Report.
