The North American Union

There's a conspiracy theory running around that an organization called the Security and Prosperity Partnership Of North America is heading us toward a North American Union, including a common currency titled the Amero. The SPP website provides no evidence that its aim is to create a North American Union nor a common currency. The Bush Administration flatly denies that they are trying to create such a union. Check out the Myths and Facts section of the SPP website. There have been some good articles recently regarding this conspiracy theory.

Michael Medved has discussed the issue on his radio program on more than one occasion. After one such broadcast with "scare-mongers" (his description) Joe Farah and Jerome Corsi he made these comments on Townhall.com regarding the aftermath. John Hawkins also tackles the matter over at HumanEvents.com and points to Killing the North American Union Conspiracy found at RightWingNews.com.

The exploration of extending economic and security cooperation between our country and Canada and Mexico is blown out of proportion. Our sovereignty is not in danger. Nothing is going to be done without going through the proper channels, including that of Congress. The likes of Ron Paul (a potential Presidental candidate) to use these scare tactics is irresponsible and discredits them in my view.
