COMMENTARY:
The Montana state legislature has introduced a resolution (HCR 25) that opposes the United States entering into the North American Union (NAU). As reported in previous newsfeeds, the NAU would merge the political, economic and security systems of the United States Canada and Mexico. At the same time that President Bush, Congress, and the media are denying that any such agenda is currently underway, several state legislatures are introducing resolutions that say otherwise.

Montana is the most recent state to introduce an anti-NAU resolution. In part, HCR 25 states:

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE SENATE AND THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE STATE OF MONTANA:

That the Montana Legislature urge the President and the Congress of the United States to withdraw the United States from any further participation in the Security and Prosperity Partnership, any efforts to implement a trinational political, governmental entity among the United States, Canada, and Mexico, or any other efforts used to accomplish any form of a North American Union.

Below is the full list of states who have introduced similar legislation, along with the phone number to the state's legislative office. Concerned readers are encouraged to contact the legislative offices of the states listed below and ask the state Congress to support the North American Union resolution.

Furthermore, contact your own state legislature to encourage your state representatives to introduce and support a similar resolution. Model resolutions and cover letters can be found on the John Birch Society's issue page for the North American Union.
