Legislation calling for the creation of "free trade zones" must be defeated. Plans to establish such areas will surely blur border distinctions and dilute U.S. sovereignty. Some of these proposals even call for taxpayer-supported relocation of American companies to the Mexican borderlands.

-- January 1989 Bulletin of The John Birch Society

The John Birch Society didn’t just recently discover the internationalist plans that have led to the imminent FTAA threat. For more than a decade, the Society’s publications have reported on these initiatives in their more primitive stages. Here is another example:

North American Free Trade Agreement: Cleverly disguised as a "Free Trade" treaty, the North American Free Trade Agreement will be used as a stepping stone to create a sovereignty-destroying North American Community modeled after the emerging European Community. The treaty has nothing to do with bona fide free trade. The aim is to centralize the North American continent under one government using free trade as the lure, exactly the same way the EC began. Though only the Senate is needed to ratify treaties, the tariff limits in the treaty must be approved by the House as well. So write to both your representative and senators in opposition to this treaty.
