Bush signed the United States into the North American Union with Canada and Mexico. Why was this not something the citizens had a chance to vote on, and why did the news avoid covering this major event?

It looks like you are labouring under the impression that America is a free country.

Bush did not sign this agreement, NAFTA, was signed by and implemented by Bill Clinton and Congress. The corporations who manufacture us with goods and food stuffs in Mexico and Canada lobbied the Senate and Congress to pass this agreement as far as my knowledge permits me to recall. The people did vote their elected officials into office to make these decisions on their behalf, however, the people are not the ones who lobbied their leaders to implement the trade agreement, it takes people with money and power to do that. Though the people have a limited power, it is not enough to control the minority corporations and banks with the money to buy out the peoples will.

NAFTA is not an economic union. It's just a trade agreement. Don't confuse the two.

The groups, working under the North American Free Trade Agreement office in the Department of Commerce, are to implement the Security and Prosperity Partnership, or SPP, signed by President Bush, Mexican President Vicente Fox and then-Canadian Prime Minister Paul Martin in Waco, Texas, on March 23, 2005. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T74VA3xU0EA http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=6946647208237228392&ei=b_jaSdzNDpXeqAP5ium3Dw&q=north+american+union&hl=en
