'Stop SPP' marches in 9 cities tomorrow

The leaders of the United States, Canada and Mexico conferred over the Security and Prosperity Partnership in August

Protest marches opposing the controversial Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America are scheduled tomorrow for nine cities across the nation.

Opponents of the SPP will gather in Atlanta, Chicago; Houston; Las Vegas; Los Angeles; New York City; Sacramento; Clearwater, Fla.; and Yakima, Wash., to bring attention to a U.S. agreement with Mexico and Canada they charge is part of an incremental move toward an EU-style continental merger.

President Bush first declared the establishment of the SPP at a summit meeting with Mexico's then-president, Vicente Fox, and Canada's then-prime minister, Paul Martin, in Waco, Texas, March 23, 2005.

Jonnie Crivello, national organizer for the March for America!, explained to WND in an e-mail that the goal of tomorrow's event is to demonstrate the country's opposition to the SPP and the establishment of a "North American Union."

"In addition to letter writing and making phone calls to elected officials, Americans are now taking to the streets to show that there are real people behind the demands to halt North American integration and to keep the United States a sovereign nation," Crivello said.

"March for America! is a vehicle to unite," she stressed. "Many Americans who otherwise might never have heard about the Security and Prosperity Partnership or the North American Union will learn about both through our marches."

Crivello told WND originally was established last summer to oppose the Bush administration's attempt to pass its "comprehensive immigration reform" bill.

Then, in August, the group held a protest in Seattle in opposition to the third SPP summit meeting, held in Montebello, Quebec.

WND reported Bush met with Mexico's President Felipe Calderon and Canada's Prime Minister Stephen Harper August 20–21.

In response to a question from Fox News during the final press conference in Montebello, Bush ridiculed as a "conspiracy theory" the idea that SPP might develop into a North American Union.

Still, opponents organizing tomorrow's "Stop SPP" marches insist the administration is following the European model, charging that Europe progressed from a trade agreement comparable to NAFTA – the European Coal and Steel Agreement reached 50 years ago this year – to the European Union today, a full-fledged regional government with the euro as its currency.

After protesting the SPP summit, Crivello decided to keep the March for America! idea going.

She was encouraged by radio talk show host Jim Stachowiak of Freedom Fighter Radio, who picked up on Crivello's idea and proposed to hold a Nov. 17 "Stop SPP" march in his home city of Atlanta.

Crivello liked Stachowiak's suggestion and decided to keep alive the March for America! website to endorse "Stop SPP" nationwide.

Since then, organizers in Chicago; Clearwater, Fla., Houston, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, New York, Sacramento and Yakima, Wash., have joined Stachowiak.

"We will not wait for the North American Union to be put in place in a stealth fashion, just as the European Union was created in Europe," Crivello told WND. The time to act is now. We encourage all Americans who are concerned to join us, to carry the flag in their city."
