109th CONGRESS
2d Session
H. CON. RES. 487
Expressing the sense of Congress that the United States should not engage in the construction of a North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) Superhighway System or enter into a North American Union with Mexico and Canada.
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
September 28, 2006
Mr. GOODE (for himself, Mr. PAUL, Mr. JONES of North Carolina, and Mr. TANCREDO) submitted the following concurrent resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure, and in addition to the Committee on International Relations, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned

CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
Expressing the sense of Congress that the United States should not engage in the construction of a North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) Superhighway System or enter into a North American Union with Mexico and Canada.
Whereas, according to the Department of Commerce, United States trade deficits with Mexico and Canada have significantly widened since the implementation of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA);
Whereas the economic and physical security of the United States is impaired by the potential loss of control of its borders attendant to the full operation of NAFTA;
Whereas a NAFTA Superhighway System from the west coast of Mexico through the United States and into Canada has been suggested as part of a North American Union;
Whereas it would be particularly difficult for Americans to collect insurance from Mexican companies which employ Mexican drivers involved in accidents in the United States, which would increase the insurance rates for American drivers;
Whereas future unrestricted foreign trucking into the United States can pose a safety hazard due to inadequate maintenance and inspection, and can act collaterally as a conduit for the entry into the United States of illegal drugs, illegal human smuggling, and terrorist activities; and
Whereas a NAFTA Superhighway System would be funded by foreign consortiums and controlled by foreign management, which threatens the sovereignty of the United States: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), That--
(1) the United States should not engage in the construction of a North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) Superhighway System;
(2) the United States should not enter into a North American Union with Mexico and Canada; and
(3) the President should indicate strong opposition to these or any other proposals that threaten the sovereignty of the United States.

Two college students entered a local telephone company's computer system without being asked for a password. One copied a confidential memo and posted it on a bulletin board for users to read. Another inserted a worm to slow down the computer system. Because of a mistake made in creating the worm, the system crashed and disrupted businesses. Local telephone service was suspended in the area for more than 8 hours. How should they be punished?

My wife and I went into a an amusement park on Sunday, and a fello was wearing a black shirt saying, SEX OFFENDER on the front, and IM RIGHT HERE on the back. I overheard him speaking to a couple about the point of his shirt. He is a registered sex offender who says that he wears the shirt, to make families, and people uncomfortable. He says the sex offender list is unlawful, and its not fair for people of this certain crime to have to be publicly listed when other people of other harmful crimes dont have to be. I joiined in the conversation as i totally agree. He says he wears it alot, and goes to food joints, movies, and grocery markets with the shirt on, and it drives people crazy, but his theory, which is a good one, goes like this. No need to search on the internet for me, if you want to know where i am, read it on my chest, im right here. I laughed, and thought it was a great idea, because i viewed lots of people looking at him like he is crazy and with fear. Imagine that

Those who feel they wanted to jump all over the 1st one, I brought this topic back to life.. Im a democrat, black male, and live in Chicago now ( highly gang profiled) I offer a suggestion in the last one that might have been to harsh.. But for those who feel that "crime doesnt come from the slums" or that " we need to help as a community " must come from the suburbs and sits in there highchair being spoon-fed not to see the truth in violence that lays its head around the sub-sidized housing. I could give you plenty of examples of where its not safe, HOW about you give me examples of how to make it safer.. --or how you have helped your "murder infected nighborhood" a better place to live. Its in every state you liver in, but how do you get around the problem other than the gun I have in my car. Now Im a pretty big guy, but I dont just run into fights without involving a weapon...so if you can speak from your own experience, then you have no bussiness writing!! Cause you have no idea!

Well, I was having this conversation the other day with peer's and I know think that rapists that are let out from prison is absolutly disgusting. For a child molester to be allowed back on street and just to get away with not working with children is ridiculous. Children are on the road, they are on the internet.I hope that hanging would come back in for these nasty minded people.

It was sitting in the student parking lot at my High School when it got hit by a lacrosse ball from the school lacrosse team who was practicing in the parking lot. Since I have to pay to park at my school and that is the only parking lot available to students, can I hold my school liable for the dents? What civil code would this fall under?

About 6 months ago, I got screwed on a car deal on Ebay for about $3,500! I contacted eBay with the information of the transaction, they said they couldn't help me. I reported it to the IC3, FBI, my local police and his local police! Still no help. I've decided to take matters into my own hands and find the guy that ripped me off. I have his name and address. I'm assuming it's the right name and address. What should I do now??

My son is almost four and his father has been in and out since he was born. Last year we set up a verbal arrangement for my son to go to his father's house (lives with his mom) on tues and thurs from 4-8pm. His father kept flaking so I stopped the visits....it's been five weeks and no call from the dad whatsoever. His mother called me and asked me if I could reconsider...I haven't answered her yet. Seems to me my son's father is going through his mother and I don't like it.

Please tell me your opinons or suggestions on what to do. Thank you.
