I received an e-mail from Howard Phillips today. I was VERY encouraged to see this (especially since Tom was the first candidate on the campaign trail that spoke out publicly against the NAU!):
Representative Tancredo: Americans need to unite and fight back!
I am pleased to announce that former 2008 GOP Presidential candidate, U.S. Representative Tom Tancredo, has become the latest participant with our NAU War Room. In an exclusive interview with the NAU War Room’s Art Harmon, Congressman Tancredo called on all Americans to learn all they can about plans to absorb America into a “North American Union” (NAU) with Mexico and Canada. He also urged all Americans to fight back – and you can do just that simply by going to our official NAU War Room site, found at www.nauwarroom.org.
Visit today and see the Tancredo interview in its entirety. Then follow Congressman Tancredo’s call and sign our anti-NAU Petition, take our National NAU Survey and, last but not least – send in a much-needed and most-generous donation to help us continue our drive to expose and halt the “North American Union,” the “NAFTA Superhighway,” and the ongoing erasing of our borders and our liberty.

Six men in police tactical clothing are suspected of shooting a man to death, firing more than 100 rounds into his Phoenix home in what some are calling a Mexican drug cartel hit.
Special Assignments Units heard shots coming from a nearby neighborhood and began to drive toward the noise Sunday. Detectives said once police gained entry into the home, they found the body of Andrew Williams, 30, shot numerous times, according to Arizona Daily News.
Tancredo takes McCain to task on immigration Congressman's letter hints at accusations of pandering, flip-flopping Posted: June 24, 2008 9:54 pm Eastern
Rep. Tom Tancredo of Colorado drew attention early in the Republican primaries as a champion of securing the nation's borders against illegal crossing and fighting against amnesty for illegal immigrants.
Now, in an open letter to presumptive Republican presidential nominee Sen. John McCain, Tancredo is questioning McCain's private meeting with Hispanic leaders in Chicago last week and challenging the candidate to stand firm on border security, regardless of the audience he's addressing.
With a finger-in-the-chest tone, the congressman asks McCain whether he backpedaled on border security pledges in Chicago, where it was reported the Arizona senator promised an audience of 150 Hispanic leaders "comprehensive immigration reform."
'Compete to Win' report says SPP too slow; promotes creation of a Canadian Competitiveness Council to set economic policy priorities
...With respect to the Security and Prosperity Partnership, Compete to Win states:
"The chief mechanism to deal with Canada–US border issues, the Security and Prosperity Partnership (SPP), has yielded too little progress in improving crossborder flows. Indeed, Canada risks being side-swiped by the preoccupation the U.S. has with its southern border.The most recent SPP Summit confirms that little progress can be expected within a relevant time frame.
“In this context, the Panel believes that it is imperative to intensify our bilateral effort with the US, focusing on facilitating the flow of goods, services and people across the Canada–US border. If we are forced to choose between trilateral and bilateral efforts, the latter should be chosen. Enhanced public recognition of the benefits of the Canada–US trading relationship south of the border should also be part of this effort."
Among the specific recommendations in the report:
URANIUM MINING... COMPETITION... TAXATION... INTERNAL TRADE... CANADA-U.S. ECONOMIC TIES... INTERNATIONAL TRADE AND INVESTMENT... REGULATION... COMPETITIVENESS COUNCIL...
