Protesters object to North American alliance
By MARK MOREY
YAKIMA HERALD-REPUBLIC

About 40 flag-waving protesters gathered in the rain Saturday to oppose what they foresee as an erosion of American sovereignty as the United States, Mexico and Canada form closer ties. The March for America gathering at 40th and Summitview avenues in Yakima was one of nine around the country, including Atlanta, Houston, Las Vegas and Los Angeles.
Jonnie Crivello of Seattle, a national march organizer who attended the Yakima event, said March for America supporters are interested in preserving this country's sovereignty.
Crivello said she believes that a series of small steps by the governments of America, Mexico and Canada are intended to lead to an alliance between the three countries that would resemble the European Union.
Crivello said increased cooperation between the three countries in the name of border security and economic development will actually erode American independence.
The Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America, formed in 2005 by leaders from the three countries, is just one example of that problematic relationship, critics say.
Crivello said the partnership would lead to creation of a North American Union, essentially erasing the borders between the three countries and amounting to "national suicide" for the United States.
The partnership's Internet site includes a special "myths and facts" section that addresses some of those issues.
"The SPP in no way, shape or form considers the creation of a European Union-like structure or a common currency," according to the statement.
"The SPP does not attempt to modify our sovereignty or currency or change the American system of government designed by our Founding Fathers."
But critics say the alliance has been under secret development since the 1970s, when the Trilateral Commission was formed.
Commission members from the across the globe say they are trying to develop answers to serious issues such as the economy, but critics denounce them as the "global elite" and say they are dedicated to eliminating independent governments.
"This isn't security and prosperity for us. It's security and prosperity for corporations, the corporate elite," Crivello said.
Many of those at the Yakima event also belong to the Grassroots of Yakima Valley group, which advocates for tighter border security and increased enforcement against illegal immigration, protest organizers said.
Carl Evans of Yakima, the Grassroots chairman, said he's opposed to any governmental alliance that lessens America's independence.
"What did we fight wars for" -- from the Civil War on -- "if we are going to open up our borders and have no borders anymore?" he asked.
After their two-hour rally, protesters heard from Patrick Wood, the Idaho-based editor of the August Review, which studies the global impact of efforts like the Security and Prosperity Partnership.

Where the hell were they in 1994 when N.A.F.T.A was signed? I bitched, moaned, and wrote letters, and sad to say 13 years later I was proven right............. Wish, for Americas sake, I was wrong.

Unfortunately the people bought the lies that the WSO has brought us. Unfortunately, most people still refuse to believe what is happening even though the 3 presidents signed the agreement in 2005.

Do you ever have anything to say other than youtube links?

Anyways, on the topic at hand. What the American People want and what they will get are two seperate things. They will force this on us, like the Patriot act, CAFTA, NAFTA, And so on.

Growing distaste of the United Nations as well. You think the people in power will ever adhere to the American people's will and leave the U.N. or stop funding the defunct NATO alliance? No, because they have there masters and it ain't the American people.

They serve Corporations, Bankers, and a very embedded elite few who have there paws in our Government through bribes, campaign funding, and special interest lobbying.

Things need to change.
