Marysville, CA (PRWEB) January 11, 2007 — It is the strong belief of the American Independent Party that the United States should not engage in the construction of a North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) superhighway system or enter into a North American Union with Mexico and Canada. The elite planners behind this project are working toward a borderless North America by 2010, which would be a disaster for U.S. national security and would spell the end of U.S. independence.”
Congress has the exclusive power “To regulate Commerce with foreign Nations” (Article 1, ยง8). Congress may not abdicate or transfer to others that constitutional power. We oppose, therefore, the unconstitutional transfer of authority over U.S. trade policy from Congress to agencies, domestic or foreign, which improperly exercise policy-setting functions with respect to U.S. trade policy. Construction of the NAFTA Superhighway System is not within the enumerated powers delegated to Congress, and cannot be rationally construed to be a part of the regulation of commerce between the States, and violates the Tenth Amendment which states, ‘The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.’
The American Independent Party supports passage of House Concurrent Resolution (H.Con.Res.) 487 “Expressing the sense of Congress that the United States should not engage in the construction of a North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) Superhighway System or enter into a North American Union with Mexico and Canada.”
The American Independent Party is opposed to the creation of both intrastate and interstate regional entities which exercise tax and police powers without direct responsibility to the voters and the taxpayers which such agencies are alleged to serve. Too often, the objective of those seeking to create such regional bodies is the destruction or usurpation of the people’s authority over local or state governments.
Regionalism causes the loss of control by elected officials, with unlimited power reverting to appointees, and adds to the ever-increasing tax burden. Regionalism seeks to dissolve county governments; transfer state powers to a central authority in Washington; administer the affairs of United States citizens through a network of Federal Regions and State Regional subdivisions; seize control of land and production facilities; change our form of government; and reduce Americans to the status of economic serfs on the land which was once theirs.
