Subject: Annexation without representation?

Congress wants to sell out, but do they want their seat in Congress? Are we
going to have a Senate building that adds hundreds more seats from Mexico
and Canada? Are the Senators from Mexico going to come to Washington or are
the Senators from Washington going to go to Mexico City for votes? Or more
likely, after the annexation, is the Bureaucrats just going to get rid of
the Senate all together and just keep the seat of Kennedy as a museum piece
to show where he once ruled year after year?
Can you please have the Congressman mail me a written explanation of these
policies outlined in the article below and why the Senate is doing away with
U.S. sovereignty? I completely oppose any further integration with Mexico
as well as the "free" movement of goods and people between the two
countries. I expect the Senate to pass a cease and desist order to the
Executive Branch of government as far as integration without representation
is the concern. The executive branch of government can not issue a joint
resolution of annexation (or integration) with any other country. The joint
resolution of annexation between the United States and the Republic of Texas
of 1845 was voted on by the people of the Republic of Texas in well
documented history, even though Texas seceded from the Union later. There
is NO provision in the Constitution which, obviously few Senators have ever
read, that states the Executive Branch of government can carryout an
integration or annexation of the level being carried out. Mexico is in no
way able to assist in the "defense of N. America" as proposed. Mexico has
always been a corrupt state and this is in large part why the Republic of
Texas was formed in the first place and had to go to war with Mexico to
defend Texans rights. The idea of integration with Mexico as planned by the
President of the United States is on the face of it-absurd- and renders
useless Texas as a Republican form of government joined with the other
states in a Union of the United States. I am sure without a doubt that an
integration (which is nothing more than an executive mandated joint
resolution of annexation) would be opposed by the vast majority of Texans
including many Texans of Mexican origin who are aware of the corrupt state
Mexico is. The idea that the United States can police Mexico upon this
executive mandated integration is ridiculous. This is why Americans hold
the United States Senate in contempt with their ideas of an open border.
The more the border is open, the more violent crime and corruption mounts
along the border.
Instead of cutting off this crime and corruption at the border, the Senate
and President along with their special interest groups have decided to open
this border further, grant amnesty and reward illegal behavior including
identity theft (including paying social security to those who have stolen
social security numbers) and sell out the citizens of the United States
whose fathers, mothers, cousins and all manner of relatives gave their lives
to build this country into the most powerful in the world today.
Now some people in the Senate and other institutions feel that it is wrong
that the United States is powerful. They feel that it is ok for the United
States to become a third world country and that somehow, by us becoming a
third world country, it will help improve the world. What a total crock of
nonsense. The United States has already developed alternative energy
technology that would just about reduce Green House gas in the US to next to
nothing. This technology can be bought by affluent Americans in the next
decade by replacing old cars with new cars just like we replaced leaded gas
cars with unleaded gas cars. But instead, the lame brained, non thinking
Sorros' of the world think that by the Western world becoming another over
populated third world, somehow it will help the world? And because these
non thinkers were somehow blessed with money, the Senate thinks they need to
toe the line of every design of pure nonsense from these ignorants, the most
disagreeable idea being an integration with Mexico to make the United States
a dirty, poor, third world country where the uneducated rule by the mob.
The whole notion of democracy, in fact, being mob rule. On the other hand,
our forefathers supposedly guaranteed our states a Republican form of
government ruled by laws. Laws which, ironically, the Senate themselves
could careless if they were even followed.
I expect to see a commission set up by the Senate to investigate these
actions of integration without representation and report to the people the
logic of these actions by the Executive Branch and I expect a note from my
elected officials explaining why they are allowing this to happen.
I am allowed by the Constitution to demand answers from my elected officials
and I expect these answers. I would also encourage my elected officials to
read the Constitution and Bill of Rights, if they have not already done so.
I have to throw that in, because I see no evidence that many elected
officials are familiar with the documents that guide the rule of law in our
country.

This trilateral agreement, signed as a joint declaration not submitted to
Congress for review, led to the creation of the SPP office within the
Department of Commerce.
The SPP report to the heads of state of the U.S., Mexico and Canada, --
released June 27, 2005, -- lists some 20 different working groups spanning a
wide variety of issues ranging from e-commerce, to aviation policy, to
borders and immigration, involving the activity of multiple U.S. government
agencies.
The working groups have produced a number of memorandums of understanding
and trilateral declarations of agreement.
The Canadian government and the Mexican government each have SPP offices
comparable to the U.S. office.
Geri Word, who heads the SPP office within the NAFTA office of the U.S.
Department of Commerce affirmed to WND last Friday in a telephone interview
that the membership of the working groups, as well as their work products,
have not been published anywhere, including on the Internet.
Why the secrecy?
"We did not want to get the contact people of the working groups distracted
by calls from the public," said Word.
She suggested to WND that the work products of the working groups was
described on the SPP website, so publishing the actual documents did not
seem required.
WND can find no specific congressional legislation authorizing the SPP
working groups. The closest to enabling legislation was introduced in the
Senate by Sen. Richard Lugar, R-Ind., on April 20, 2005. Listed as S. 853,
the bill was titled "North American Cooperative Security Act: A bill to
direct the Secretary of State to establish a program to bolster the mutual
security and safety of the United States, Canada, and Mexico, and for other
purposes." The bill never emerged from the Senate Foreign Relations
Committee.
In the House of Representatives, the same bill was introduced by Rep.
Katherine Harris, R-Fla., on May 26, 2005. Again, the bill languished in the
House Subcommittee on Intelligence, Information Sharing, and Terrorism Risk
Assessment.
WND cannot find any congressional committees taking charge for specific
oversight of SPP activity.
WND has requested from Word in the U.S. Department of Commerce a complete
listing of the contact persons and the participating membership for the
working groups listed in the June 2005 SPP report to the trilateral leaders.
In addition, WND asked to see all work products, such as memorandums of
understanding, letters of intent, and trilateral agreements that are
referenced in the report.
Many SPP working groups appear to be working toward achieving specific
objectives as defined by a May 2005 Council on Foreign Relations task force
report, which presented a blueprint for expanding the SPP agreement into a
North American Union that would merge the U.S., Canada and Mexico into a new
governmental form.
Referring to the SPP joint declaration, the report, entitled "Building a
North American Community," stated:
The Task Force is pleased to provide specific advice on how the partnership
can be pursued and realized.
To that end, the Task Force proposes the creation by 2010 of a North
American community to enhance security, prosperity, and opportunity. We
propose a community based on the principle affirmed in the March 2005 Joint
Statement of the three leaders that "our security and prosperity are
mutually dependent and complementary." Its boundaries will be defined by a
common external tariff and an outer security perimeter within which the
movement of people, products, and capital will be legal, orderly, and safe.
Its goal will be to guarantee a free, secure, just, and prosperous North
America.
The CFR task force report called for establishment of a common security
border perimeter around North America by 2010, along with free movement of
people, commerce and capital within North America, facilitated by the
development of a North American Border Pass that would replace a U.S.
passport for travel between the U.S., Canada and Mexico.
Also envisioned by the CFR task force report were a North American court, a
North American inter-parliamentary group, a North American executive
commission, a North American military defense command, a North American
customs office and a North American development bank.
