Months ago, a Seattle associate showed me a video by a group in Great Britain concerned about the loss of their national independence. The video included testimony by many individuals, including a member of Parliament, concerning the overriding domination of England by the European Union in all matters of law.

Could American legislators understand the North American Union process if they viewed the EU process that trapped 27 nations? We brought the video to the attention of the leadership of the Appleton, Wis., based John Birch Society who then negotiated the copyright permission to produce the video as a DVD here in the United States for distribution to opinion molders, lawmakers and the electorate. This month, the DVD, "The Real Face of the European Union," will be released (www.aobs-store.com). Then, American legislators will begin to discover the evil and intentionally combined-deception that took place in Europe, and perhaps, thus be able to recognize the same organized efforts are under way here to bring about a merger of Canada, the United States and Mexico into a NAU.

Many state legislators have been convinced by available evidence that a process intended to lead America into such an international merger is indeed under way at the highest levels of the three national governments of the North American Continent.

During the 2007 legislative session, the Utah House of Representatives first passed H.J.R. 007 to call upon Congress to stop the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America (SPP) process engaged in by executive authorities from the three North American nations.

Then, both Houses of Idaho's legislature, both Houses of Montana's legislature, and both Houses of Oklahoma's legislature passed similar resolutions opposing a North American Union. Arizona's State Senate passed a similar resolution.

In Congress, House Concurrent Resolution 40, sponsored by Rep. Virgil Goode of Virgina, seeks to stop the SPP process and prevent a unification of the three North American nations. Two presidential candidates have co-sponsored the H. Con. Res. 40, Ron Paul and Duncan Hunter.

A Utah State Senator in Salt Lake City has written a resolution to be introduced during the 2008 legislative session, a "Resolution urging the United States withdrawal from the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America." These actions by state governments belie the denials in the press, and among some leaders in our government, that there is an intention to create a NAU.
