Speakers:

  • Howard Phillips, Chairman, Coalition to Block the North American Union
  • Cathie Adams, President, Eagle Forum of Texas

Invited:

  • U.S. Representative Ron Paul (TX)
  • U.S. Representative Paul Broun (GA)
  • U.S. Representative Tom Tancredo (CO) (Retired)
  • Statements will be released by:

  • U.S. Representative Walter Jones (NC)
  • Bay Buchanan, President, American Cause
  • Tom DeWeese, President, American Policy Center
  • John McManus, President, The John Birch Society
  • 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."

    In an international news conference in Guadalajara, Mexico on August 8, Howard Phillips, Chairman of the Coalition to Block the North American Union, will call for President Obama to fulfill his pledge to restore transparency and citizen involvement in the summit, and to abandon the Bush scheme of creating a North American Union similar to the European Union.

    Mr. Phillips stated: "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."
