Montana Joins Idaho in Asking Congress to Block the North American Union by Withdrawing the U.S. from the Security and Prosperity Partnership

Today the Montana Senate passed, by a vote of 32 to 18, H.J.R. 25, a resolution urging "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." The resolution also urged "the President and the Congress of the United States not to engage in the construction of a North American Free Trade Agreement Superhighway System."

Since the Montana House had already adopted H.J.R. 25 by a vote of 94 to 5, today's Senate vote means that Montana is the second state to pass an anti-NAU resolution in both houses. On March 22 Idaho was the first state to do this. Earlier this year the Utah House had also passed an anti-NAU resolution.

Congratulations to the members of The John Birch Society in Montana for making passage of the anti-NAU resolution possible.

At least 14 other states have already introduced resolutions against the North American Union/Security and Prosperity Partnership. Click here for more information about the campaign to block the North American Union, including a copy of a model NAU resolution for state legislatures.
