ARTICLE SYNOPSIS:

Three more states have introduced anti-North American Union resolutions which now are present in over 1/5 of the state legislatures.

Follow this link to the source article: "House Joint Resolution 29"

COMMENTARY:

As far as we know, a total of 11 states have now introduced resolutions in their state legislatures that oppose the implementation of the North American Union, U.S. participation in the Bush-backed Security and Prosperity of North America and the construction of the NAFTA Superhighway.

The most recent states to introduce these resolutions are Illinois (H.J.R. 29), Georgia (S.R. 124), and South Dakota (S.C.R. 7). Also, the Missouri House has introduced their own resolution (H.C.R. 33) which is very similar to the Senate-sponsored NAU resolution that was introduced by Senator Barnitz.

To date, the only resolution that has made it past committee was Utah's H.J.R. 7 which was sponsored by Rep. Sandstrom. The legislation passed the House by a vote of 47-24 but was killed in the Senate when the congressional session ended on Wednesday without bringing the resolution to a vote.

Below is an updated list of the NAU resolutions that have been introduced in Congress and state legislatures. Also included are the phone numbers of either the congressional switchboard or the office of the resolution's sponsor. With enough support, members of Congress may be encouraged to bring these resolutions up for a floor vote on the congressional floor.
