With almost complete unanimity, the two major parties are walking in
lock-step in their support for President Bush's efforts to merge the
United States into a trilateral hemispheric government with Mexico and
Canada. In addition, for the most part, the major media (including Fox
News) remains virtually silent on the subject. Furthermore, most every
major Christian leader remains silent also. Yes, Martha, America is on
the verge of losing its national sovereignty and independence, and the
vast majority of our country's leaders (of any kind) sit mute and
unmoved!
I realize, of course, that there are many people who are alert and
openly concerned about Bush's proposed North American Union. However,
seldom do these people have the opportunity to voice their concerns to
national audiences. Therefore, people such as you and me are confined
to writing columns for Internet news services and small papers or
speaking to small market radio stations or short wave radio audiences.
For the most part, we are totally ignored by anyone with a national
platform. Happily, there are exceptions.
There is one person in the mainstream media that has stepped up to the
plate in defense of America's independence, and that man is CNN's Lou
Dobbs. I invite readers to watch Dobbs' recent broadcast in which he
attempts to alert the American people to the impending surrender of our
sovereignty (Go to

On Capitol Hill, there are two men vocally opposing Bush's proposed
North American Union and that is Colorado Congressman Tom Tancredo and
Texas Congressman Ron Paul. Two men out of 435 House members and 100
senators!
In the literary world, Jerome Corsi is carrying the torch for America's
independence. His columns exposing Bush's proposed North American Union
regularly appear in Human Events (http://www.humaneventsonline.com/)
and World Net Daily (http://www.worldnetdaily.com/).
And once again, I invite readers to listen to my radio interview with
Dr. Corsi at
http://www.chuckbaldwinlive.com/Interview_Corsi.html.
Except for the abovementioned names, there are precious few speaking
out against Bush's North American Union.
Thank God for radio talk show hosts such as Barbara Jean Whiteley (http://www.k-talk.com/ns/Hosts.asp),
and Dr. Stanley Monteith (http://www.radioliberty.com/),
news magazines such as The New American (http://www.thenewamerican.com/artman/publish/cat_index_63.shtml),
Internet News publishers such as Paul Walter at News With Views (http://newswithviews.com/),
and conservative leaders such as Howard Phillips (http://www.howardphillips.com/),
Alan Keyes (http://www.renewamerica.us/),
and Phyllis Schlafly (http://www.eagleforum.org/).
I wish I could list the names of prominent conservative Christian
leaders in the above hall of fame, but, sadly, I cannot. For whatever
reason, national leaders of the Religious Right have become little more
than toadies for President Bush. As a result, they have lost the power,
courage, and conviction they once had and can no longer be trusted to
be watchmen on the wall for America's sovereignty and independence.
That leaves you and me against the Brave New World (to borrow Aldous
Huxley's term)! Makes one feel rather lonely, doesn't it? However,
never forget that God plus one equals a majority! Besides, as Peter
Marshall said, "I would rather fail at a cause that will ultimately
succeed than succeed at a cause that will ultimately fail." I also
share the strong conviction of William Barret Travis who said at the
Alamo, "God is on our side."
If over thirty-five years as a student of the Bible and American
history has taught me anything, it has taught me that when it comes to
fighting for liberty and independence, God is on our side! Therefore, I
gladly join those of you, who like the abovementioned people, are
willing to fight and even die in the battle for America's national
sovereignty and independence!
