A Critical Look at Dissolving Mexico-U.S.-Canada Borders
Sometimes they ARE out to get you.
Read between the lines on this. Bush and the Oligarchy's in all three countries ARE actually having LOTS of secret meetings on this subject.

Hint: Xenophobic right-wing conspiracy theories about a mythical North American Union are not among them.

This month, President Bush will host the leaders of Canada and Mexico to advance the Security and Prosperity Partnership (SPP), a project Lou Dobbs has predicted will "end the United States as we know it."

Launched in 2005, the SPP is an ongoing process of negotiation between the three countries' executive powers to change regulations and other policies to boost business and support the U.S. War on Terror.

In Mexico and Canada, progressive activists are already highly mobilized on the SPP. And while the far right has dominated the U.S. discourse, this is beginning to change.

Together with local activists in New Orleans, the site of the fourth SPP Presidential Summit on April 21-22, they are planning a Peoples Summit and a trinational meeting of energy sector workers.

3. You may have missed the point of this Article
The Author is holding Dobbs up as one of the nut cases on this subject but don't stop there.

He then proceeds to provide excellent reasons why PROGRESSIVES and everyone else should be worried about this

5. Well, it's just too tin-foil hat for me...
and the energy to give a rat's ass about this just doesn't exist.

2. K&R I don't care if it's Lou Dobbs or Mickey Mouse exposing the
SPP. It IS going on and we know next to nothing. That is scary. Thanks for posting.

4. Ending the United States as we know it might not be a bad thing.
