FYI from BATR

A Resolution has been sponsored in the Utah State Senate Discouraging Participation in The Free Trade Area of The Americas (FTAA). This bill has over 50 per cent of the Utah State Senate as sponsors or co-sponsors. It seems that this bill has a pretty good chance of passing in the Senate.

The FTAA is not about trade it is about Freedom. It is a step towards the formation of a European style union for North and South America. For more information, click on the following link.

You may recall that as a precursor to the European Union the countries of Europe entered into numerous trade agreements. These in turn led to many individual losses of sovereignty for these countries. The same program is being worked here in the western hemisphere. We know what's going to happen. Now is the time to stop it.

Please take the following actions:
1. Sign the online petition to stop the FTAA

2. If you live in Utah congratulate the Senatorial co-sponsors of this bill and urge your representative to sponsor or co-sponsor it in the House.

3. If you live outside of Utah urge your State Legislators to sponsor a similar resolution. (I do not have the text of the Resolution at this time but I hope to have it by the beginning of next week.)

There is a need for many State Legislatures to pass a similar resolution Discouraging Participation in the FTAA. If an obscure small state such as Utah can do the work necessary to get this resolution sponsored the larger states should be able to follow their sterling example.
