Several presidential candidates have ties to groups that appear to advocate replacing the U.S. government with a North American Union and furthering the long term goal of a World Government. .

WorldNetDaily reports that “Hillary Rodham Clinton, Rudy Giuliani, Mitt Romney, Barack Obama, John McCain, John Edwards, Fred Thompson, Joe Biden, Chris Dodd and Bill Richardson are all members or have toes to the Council on Foreign Relations the Bilderberg Group or the The Trilateral Commission.

WND also reports that Mike Huckabee is not a member of the CFR but that he spoke to the group in September and has since become a top-tier candidate in the media’s eyes.

To our knowledge, Republicans Tom Tancredo, Ron Paul, and Duncan Hunter have no ties to Globalist groups and have voiced opposition to a North American union.

Last month former Mexican President Vincente Fox said that he supported massive immigration into the U.S. for the long term goal of a North American Union. Fox also said that he and President Bush were working on a regional currency but got derailed.

As previously reported the Council on Foreign Relations has a proposed plan that in short proposes to replace all three branches of the U.S. government as follows:

-----------
North American Advisory Council

Consisting of 15 members, five from each nation, that will hold biannual summits designed to set the agendas for the three presidents and be a voice for the North American Union. (It should be noted that the U.S. Congress is supposed to set the agenda for the president.)

Merging Parliamentary groups

replace the U.S. Congress by merging the parliamentary systems of each nation and creating a North American parliament.

A North American Court

the proposed North American Court will replace the U.S. Supreme Court as the highest court in the land.

Continental Perimeter

Eliminating the national boundaries between Mexico, Canada, and the United States by creating a North American Customs and Immigration force along with an integrated North American Department of Homeland Security (North American Police Force)

Common External Tariff (CEF)

The proposed North American tariff will redistribute wealth to Mexico and strengthen the North American government.

Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America SPP was created in 1995 by the executive branch of government. While it claims that national sovereignty is not at risk with a North American Union the SPP stretches its credibility with the claim and doesn’t seem to have a legal justification to its existence.

The U.S. Constitution has provisions for allowing new states into the Union. The proposed North American Union appears illegal and unconstitutional.

According to WorldNetDaily and other sources Ronald Reagan was the only candidate in modern history to get elected that did not have ties to and was not a CFR member. His last minute convention choice for VP, George Bush, was a member. (Visit the USA Daily Forum to discuss this and other issues.)

Federal bills introduced to prevent tolls
U.S. Rep. Leonard Boswell, D-Iowa, has introduced the Toll Road Prohibition Act, the latest bill designed to prevent tolling on federally built highways.

HR 3802, introduced Oct. 10, would require states and cities to repay the U.S. government all federal funds used for construction of highways, bridges or tunnels, along with “reasonable interest,” before introducing tolls. “The American people should not be required to pay for the same highway twice, once through their tax dollars and again through new tolls on federal interstate highways,” Boswell said.

The legislation would not prohibit the states from entering into public-private toll agreements, but it would force them to repay the federal Highway Trust Fund first. The bill has been referred to the House transportation and infrastructure committee.

Also before that committee is a bill introduced Sept. 7 by U.S. Rep. John Peterson, R-Pa. HR 3510 would prohibit tolls on federal highways and on any highways bought back from the federal government by states. Peterson said it was part of his opposition to his state’s plan to toll Interstate 80.

Peterson’s bill is the House companion to S2019, introduced by U.S. Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison, R-Texas. The Texas Department of Transportation wants a change in federal law to allow state buybacks of federal highways for the purpose of tolling.

Hutchison’s bill is a rare instance of a Republican on Capitol Hill at odds with a Republican governor’s administration at home. Many of Texas Gov. Rick Perry’s ambitious toll-financed transportation plans have proved unpopular within his own party. The Texas GOP opposes Perry’s Trans-Texas Corridor, for example, arguing it will require the confiscation of too much privately owned land.
