Utah state house passes anti-North American union resolution.

The Utah House of Representatives on February 6 passed by a vote of 47 to 24 a resolution (H.J. Res. 7) urging the United States "to withdraw from the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America and any other activity which seeks to create a North American Union." The resolution, which now awaits action in the Utah state Senate, states that "the gradual creation of such a North American Union from a merger of the United States, Mexico, and Canada would be a direct threat to the United States Constitution and the national independence of the United States and would imply an eventual end to national borders within North America." It also urges the U.S. Congress to oppose the SPP and any other activities to create a North American Union.

Utah John Birch Society member Ann Turner, who has helped spearhead citizen activism efforts in the state on behalf of the resolution, told THE NEW AMERICAN that "prospects for Senate passage, while not ensured, are good."
