The Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America: Progress
Canada, Mexico and the United States share a continued commitment to enhance the security, prosperity and quality of life of our citizens within North America. We recognize that the success of our countries is enhanced by working cooperatively. The Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America, which celebrates its first anniversary this month, provides a framework for us to advance collaboration in areas as diverse as security, transportation, the environment and public health.
This Partnership has increased our institutional contacts to respond to our vision of a stronger, more secure, and more prosperous region. In June 2005, our three governments released detailed work-plans identifying key initiatives that form an ambitious agenda of collaboration. Since June, we have worked to implement these initiatives. Many will take months or years to be completed, but we already note significant results. We ask our Ministers to build on this momentum.
We have discussed how we can ensure North America is the most economically dynamic region in the world and a secure home for our citizens. Today, we exchanged views with private sector leaders on how to enhance the competitiveness of North America.
Building on existing commitments, we agree that priority initiatives warrant special attention in the coming year:
Strengthening Competitiveness in North America. We are pleased to announce the creation of a North American Competitiveness Council (NACC). The Council will comprise members of the private sector from each country and will provide us recommendations on North American competitiveness, including, among others, areas such as automotive and transportation, steel, manufacturing, and services. The Council will meet annually with security and prosperity Ministers and will engage with senior government officials on an ongoing basis.
We are convinced that regulatory cooperation advances the productivity

and competitiveness of our nations and helps to protect our health, safety and environment. For instance, cooperation on food safety will help protect the public while at the same time facilitate the flow of goods. We affirm our commitment to strengthen regulatory cooperation in this and other key sectors and to have our central regulatory agencies complete a trilateral regulatory cooperation framework by 2007.
North American Emergency Management. A disaster - whether natural or man-made - in one of our countries can have consequences across national borders. Our vision for a North American response, relief and recovery strategy would ensure that critical equipment, supplies and personnel can be deployed expeditiously throughout North America. We commit to develop a common approach to critical infrastructure protection, coordinated responses to cross border incidents, and coordinated training and exercises, with the participation of all levels of government in our countries.
Avian and Human Pandemic Influenza. Given the highly integrated nature of our economies, an outbreak of pathogenic avian flu or human pandemic influenza in any one of our countries would affect us all. Today, we have agreed to develop a comprehensive, science-based and coordinated approach within North America to avian influenza and human pandemic influenza management. We have endorsed a set of shared principles to underpin cooperative activities by our Governments in all stages of avian influenza and human pandemic influenza management: prevention; preparedness; response; and recovery. Pursuant to these principles, officials will develop, as an immediate priority, incident management protocols to ensure that we are well prepared in advance of an outbreak in North America. For instance, we have agreed to work together to accelerate research, development, production, and availability of human pandemic influenza vaccines, and develop a strategy to best facilitate the sharing of information to enhance the availability of vaccines to the region. We will also establish a small Coordinating Body of senior officials to ensure follow-up on these commitments.
North American Energy Security. A sustainable, secure and affordable supply of energy is key to fueling the North American economy. Collaboration in the areas of innovation, energy efficiency, and technology development, including moving these technologies to market, promotes energy security. Our governments renew their commitment to trilateral cooperation on clean energy technologies, conservation, and market facilitation as a means to meeting our shared goals of energy security and sustainable development. Officials will also examine how this cooperation can be expanded to further our climate efforts.

North American Smart, Secure Borders. Our vision is to have a border strategy that results in the fast, efficient and secure movement of low-risk trade and travelers to and within North America, while protecting us from threats including terrorism. In implementing this strategy, we will encourage innovative risk-based approaches to improving security and facilitating trade and travel. These include close coordination on infrastructure investments and vulnerability assessments, screening and processing of travelers, baggage and cargo, a single integrated North American trusted traveler program, and swift law enforcement responses to threats posed by criminals or terrorists, including advancing a trilateral network for the protection of judges and officers.
The Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America represents a broad and ambitious agenda. We instruct our Ministers to develop options to strengthen the SPP and present them next June as part of the second report on progress of the SPP.
President Fox and President Bush were pleased to accept, on behalf of their countries, Prime Minister Harper's invitation to host the next trilateral leaders meeting in Canada in 2007.

HOW & WHY IS THE ALIEN INVASION "LEGAL" & ENCOURAGED?
(BECAUSE IT WAS PLANNED THAT WAY)
(Excerpt From) SENATE DOCUMENT #87
REVIEW OF THE UNITED NATIONS CHARTER

U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, D.C.

30. REPORT OF THE SENATE COMMITTEE ON FOREIGN RELATIONS ON
THE CHARTER OF THE ORGANIZATION OF AMERICAN STATES,
AUGUST 24, 1950 30
The Committee on Foreign Relations, to whom was referred the Charter of the Organization of American States (Ex. A, 81st Cong., 1st sess.), signed at Bogota on April 30, 1948, unanimously report the Charter to the Senate and recommend that its advice and consent to ratification be given subject to the reservation set forth in the resolution of ratification.

Page 166 REVIEW OF THE UNITED NATIONS CHARTER
1. THE MAIN PURPOSE OF THE CHARTER
The (OAS) Charter is the legal constitution of the inter-American system. It establishes the Organization of the American States, on a permanent treaty basis, as the regional agency of the 21 American Republics within the United Nations. Its basic purpose is to reorganize and to consolidate the international organization of the Americas in the interest of greater efficiency and to meet the changing needs of the postwar period.
The Charter does not represent any radical departure from what has gone on in the past; it is the product of over 60 years of evolution in the New World. As such it represents a continuation of the progressive development of the cooperation started in 1889 when the first inter-American organization was established at the initiative of the United States.
FOLLOWED BY –
American Convention on Human Rights
"Pact of San Jose, Costa Rica"
(Un-Constitutional "treaty" entered into force in 1978)
Preamble
The American states signatory to the present Convention,
Reaffirming their intention to consolidate in this hemisphere, within the framework of democratic institutions, a system of personal liberty and social justice based on respect for the essential rights of man;
Recognizing that the essential rights of man are not derived from one's being a national of a certain state, but are based upon attributes of the human personality, and that they therefore justify international protection in the form of a convention reinforcing or complementing the protection provided by the domestic law of the American states;
Considering that these principles have been set forth in the Charter of the Organization of American States, (of which the U.S. is a member "State") in the American Declaration of the Rights and Duties of Man, and in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and that they have been reaffirmed and refined in other international instruments, worldwide as well as regional in scope; (Added, UnConstitutionally authorized by U.N. Charter Article 52)
Reiterating that, in accordance with the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the ideal of free men enjoying freedom from fear and want can be achieved only if conditions are created whereby everyone may enjoy his economic, social, and cultural rights, as well as his civil and political rights; and
Considering that the Third Special Inter-American Conference (Buenos Aires, 1967) approved the incorporation into the Charter of the Organization itself of broader standards with respect to economic, social, and educational rights and resolved that an inter-American convention on human rights should determine the structure, competence, and procedure of the organs responsible for these matters,
Have agreed upon the following:
PART I - STATE OBLIGATIONS AND RIGHTS PROTECTED
CHAPTER I - GENERAL OBLIGATIONS
Article 1. Obligation to Respect Rights
1. The States Parties to this Convention undertake to respect the rights and freedoms recognized herein and to ensure to all persons subject to their jurisdiction the free and full exercise of those rights and freedoms, without any discrimination for reasons of race, color, sex, language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, economic status, birth, or any other social condition.
2. For the purposes of this Convention, "person" means every human being.
Article 2. Domestic Legal Effects
Where the exercise of any of the rights or freedoms referred to in Article 1 is not already ensured by legislative or other provisions, the States Parties undertake to adopt, in accordance with their constitutional processes and the provisions of this Convention, such legislative or other measures as may be necessary to give effect to those rights or freedoms.
CHAPTER II - CIVIL AND POLITICAL RIGHTS
Article 3. Right to Juridical Personality
Every person has the right to recognition as a person before the law. (WHICH LAW?)
Article 4. Right to Life
1. Every person has the right to have his life respected. This right shall be protected by law and, in general, from the moment of conception. No one shall be arbitrarily deprived of his life.
2. In countries that have not abolished the death penalty, it may be imposed only for the most serious crimes and pursuant to a final judgment rendered by a competent court and in accordance with a law establishing such punishment, enacted prior to the commission of the crime. The application of such punishment shall not be extended to crimes to which it does not presently apply.
3. The death penalty shall not be re-established in states that have abolished it.
4. In no case shall capital punishment be inflicted for political offenses or related common crimes.
5. Capital punishment shall not be imposed upon persons who, at the time the crime was committed, were under 18 years of age or over 70 years of age; . . . . .
AND THEN, MORE "HUMAN RIGHTS” INCLUDING RIGHTS TO SOCIAL SECURITY; ADEQUATE MEDICAL CARE; DECENT HOUSING; PAID VACATIONS; FREEDOM FROM WANT, FEAR, DISCRIMINATION,( etc, etc.) FOR EVERYONE. (See International Covenant On Civil & Political Rights - 1992
The "New Law"of the Land
The United Nations Charter & Treaties
"…Decency, security, and liberty alike demand that government officials shall be subjected to the same rules of conduct that are commands to the citizen. In a government of laws, existence of the government will be imperiled if it fails to observe the law scrupulously. Our government is the potent, the omnipresent teacher. For good or for ill, it teaches the whole people by its example. Crime is contagious. If the government becomes a lawbreaker, it breeds contempt for law; it invites every man to become a law unto himself; it invites anarchy…” Mr. Justice Brandeis, U.S. Supreme Court -- dissent passage in Olmstead V. United States, 277 U.S. 438 (1928)
The Constitution of the United State of America, Article VI, par. 2, stipulates that the Supreme Law of the Land consists of three elements: (1)This Constitution, and (2)the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof (the Constitution), and (3)all Treaties made (past tense), and which shall be made (future tense), under the Authority of the United States (government), shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding.
Note the above underlined QUALIFYING PHRASE ("under the authority of the United States")! The authority of the United States (Government) is strictly limited by original intent! The Government possesses no inherent or written authority to amend the fundamental character and/or structure of itself. Amendments (changes) must be lawfully executed in accordance with Article 5 of the U.S. Constitution – NOT BY EXECUTIVE ORDERS, TREATIES, CONGRESS, NOR THE SUPREME COURT.
U.S. SUPREME COURT DECISIONS:
1…In the case of New Orleans v. U.S. (10 Pet. 662 (1836) ), the Court said that “Congress cannot by legislation enlarge the Federal jurisdiction nor can it be enlarged under the treatymaking power"..
2. Again in Doe v. Braden ( 16 How. 635 (1853) ), the Court indicated it thought that the Constitution was superior to a treaty when it stated:
"The treaty is therefore a law made by the proper authority, and the courts of justice have no right to annul or disregard any of its provisions, unless they violate the Constitution of the United States. * * *"
3. Later, in The Cherokee Tobacco Case (11 Wall. 616, 620-621 (1870) ), the Supreme Court stated:
"It need hardly be said that a treaty cannot change the Constitution or be held valid if it be in violation of that instrument. This results from the nature and fundamental principles of our Government".
4. The Court, in the case of Geoffroy v. Riggs (133 U.S. 258 (1890) that:
"It would not be contended that it (the treaty power) extends so far as to authorize what the Constitution forbids, or a change in the character of the Government or in that of one of the States, or a cession of any portion of the territory of the latter, without its consent".
5. U.S. Supreme Court, Reid v. Covert. 354 U.S. l (1957):
"[No] agreement with a foreign nation can confer power on the Congress, or on any other branch of Government, which is free from the restraints of the Constitution. .
[There] is nothing in [the supremacy clause] which intimates that treaties and laws enacted pursuant to them do not have to comply with the provisions of the Constitution. Nor is there anything in the debates which accompanied the drafting and ratification of the Constitution which even suggests such a result.
It would be manifestly contrary to the objectives of those who created the Constitution, as well as those who were responsible for the Bill of Rights—let alone alien to our entire constitutional history and tradition—to construe Article VI as permitting the United States to exercise power under an international agreement without observing constitutional prohibitions. In effect, such construction would permit amendment of that document in a manner not sanctioned by Article V. The prohibitions of the Constitution were designed to apply to all branches of the National Government and they cannot be nullified by the Executive or by the Executive and the Senate combined...."” CONSTITUTIONAL LAW, Stone, Seidman,Sunstein Tushnet - p. 216.
BUT the Senate and President DID change the fundamental character and/or structure of government via the bogus U.N. Charter treaty! See United Nations Charter Article 25: "The Members of the United Nations agree to accept and carry out the decisions of the Security Council in accordance with the present Charter". Also, see Chapter VII, Article 39-51 to see why Congress hasn’t declared war ever since the United States spawned and ratified the U.N. Charter. Un-Constitutional U.N. "treaties" serve as quasi-legal "obligations” and the "cornerstone of U.S. domestic and foreign policy" (Sente Document #87) through a deliberate and unlawful perversion of the the U.S. Constitution that authorizes the President and Senate to ratify legitimate mutually beneficial treaties with other sovereign nations – not to subvert or override the Constitution itself.
The United States of America has been stealthfully subverted by the U.S. Government and changed from a Constitutional Republic to a subservient member state of the United Nations without the general knowledge, understanding and/or permission of the Several States and the People. The Constitution of the United States of America no longer serves as the Law of the Land but only as an irritating word to traitors – as one recently stated that: “It is only only a G-d damned piece of paper”!! And, about declaring war, the Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee said “. . .we don’t do that anymore . . . it’s anachronistic”! It’s time to take back our INDEPENDENCE !
GET US OUT OF THE U.N. NOW !!! -- SUPPORT HR-1146 -- TELL YOUR U.S. SENATORS & REPRESENTATIVE TODAY !!
