Howard Phillips Guadalajara Summit Statement |

As a candidate for President, Barack Obama submitted an op-ed to The Dallas Morning News published on February 20, 2008, which said “Starting my first year in office, I will convene annual meetings with Mr. Calderon and the prime minister of Canada. Unlike similar summits under President Bush, these will be conducted with a level of transparency that represents the close ties among our three countries. We will seek the active and open involvement of citizens, labor, the private sector and non-governmental organizations in setting the agenda and making progress.”
On February 26 concerning NAFTA, Barack Obama said “I will make sure that we renegotiate, in the same way that Senator Clinton talked about. And I think actually Senator Clinton’s answer on this one is right. I think we should use the hammer of a potential opt-out as leverage to ensure that we actually get labor and environmental standards that are enforced. And that is not what has been happening so far.”
The summit should not merely solidify ties among friendly nations, but strengthen the independence of each nation.
The Bush policy of attempting to ‘harmonize’ laws and regulations risks tearing apart, not bringing together, our neighbors. Policies important and useful in one country may be counter-productive or destructive in another. Applying a one-size-fits-all scheme for important laws and regulations must be rejected.
President Obama now has an historic opportunity to break free of these and other failed Bush policies and begin more sustainable and transparent policies which respect the independence of each nation.”
Former U.S. Ambassador to Mexico Jim Jones said agreement on a grand vision by President Obama, Mexican President Felipe Calderon, the Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper to promote better ‘economic integration’ would help the region become a major competitor in the world economy.
Although Ambassador Jones discounted the prospect of a North American Union being similar to the European Union economic model, any form of heightened economic integration would be like the proverbial camel’s nose in the tent, which would undermine the independence and self-determination of Canada and Mexico, even as it would make American taxpayers subject to further budgetary profligacy.
Nine years ago, President Vicente Fox of Mexico announced a desire to create ‘connections and institutions similar to those created by the European Union.’ The European Union, sold to the people of Europe as a mere trade agreement, has become the dominant political influence over its 27 member nations. It has been characterized by the British authors of the 2003 book The Great Deception as ‘a slow-motion coup d’etat, the most spectacular coup d’etat in history.’ It is clear that a similar coup d’etat is being planned for Canada, the United States and Mexico.

"2009 is Also the First Year of Global Governance" |

Part of the speech by Herman van Rompuy, the newly appointed President of the European Council, revealing the chilling plan for using the economic crisis and "climate change" to force "global governance" on an unsuspecting world.
Now that the Lisbon Treaty has been approved and the leader of Europe been appointed (not elected), perhaps there is less need to pretend this was not the final goal all along for the EU, the proposed North American Union, the U.N., the G20 and all other entities which would strip national sovereignty.

Howard Phillips Speaks to Media About Guadalajara Summit |
|
Monday, 10 August 2009 00:00 |
This from WND earlier this week:
With President Obama expected tomorrow for the North American Leaders' Summit in Guadalajara, Mexico, a coalition of American legislators and activists took a message to the Mexican media, denouncing economic partnerships that would undermine national sovereignty and blasting Obama's failure to keep his promises on transparency and the renegotiation of the North American Free Trade Agreement.Howard Phillips, chairman of The Conservative Caucus and head of the Coalition to Block the North American Union, spoke to Mexican print, television and radio media about the summit, which was known in previous years as the North American Security and Prosperity Partnership, or SPP.
"They're talking more and more about economic integration, which is also what preceded the creation of the European Union, incrementally," Phllips told WND. "We made the point that one of the real issues is accountability. Already there are more than 20 SPP working groups and more and more decisions are being turned over to unelected bureaucrats, without any review by the legislatures of Mexico, Canada or the U.S."
Phillips also released statements from current U.S. Rep. Walter Jones Jr., R-N.C., and former congressmen Tom Tancredo, R-Colo., and Virgil H. Goode Jr, R-Va., warning Obama that this meeting
of the American, Mexican and Canadian heads of state is no time to renew talks of a North American Union.
"My eastern North Carolina constituents are troubled by our exploding trade deficit, our weakly defended borders and the erosion of our national sovereignty," Rep. Jones said in a statement prepared for the press conference. "As a result, many of them have expressed their concerns about our nation's leadership role in the SPP."
"Many SPP working group meetings are held in secret, and the public, the press and members of Congress have no opportunity to participate or conduct oversight," Jones said. "The SPP also appears to cast aside America's sovereignty and takes another step towards combining the United States, Mexico and Canada into a single EU-style North American super state."
He concluded, "While the American people and Congress understand the importance of promoting good relations with our neighbors, these concerns will only intensify if pursuit of the SPP continues out of public view and without congressional oversight or approval."
