UPDATE:at 1:55pm 3-12-8The House has passed the Motion to Reconsider, and HCM2003
"Opposing the North American Union" lives on.THIS DOES NOT MEAN THE ACTUAL BILL HAS PASSED.It only means it can continue.
Despite a runaround experience with Rich Crandall’s office, it has been confirmed that Representative Tom Prezelski made the motion to reconsider in this afternoon’s floor session.please feelfree to email (tprezelski@azleg.gov) or phone (602-926-3424) to thank him.
here is a fallow-up message from AZSenator Karen Johnson:
Wow! You guys are fabulous! The reports we've gotten from the House of Representatives are that the phones have been going K-U-H-R-A-Z-Y-!!! Yesterday one of the Representatives agreed to ask for "reconsideration" (a second vote). Today one of the legislators called my office to say that they had, as a group, come up with some amending language that they think they can live with. I've read the amendment and it looks fine. The bill still does exactly what we want it to do – it calls for an end to the push for a North American Union. So, the bill will be brought up again on Tuesday. If anyone's interested in watching, the Floor session will be broadcast live on the internet Tuesday. Please discontinue the phone calls to your legislators, but if any of you haven't sent an email yet, feel free to still do that. (Just as a little continuing encouragement to support HCM2003.) If anything changes, I'll let you know on Monday.
Thanks for being such a great grassroots movement! You guys are wonderful! This has been a VERY successful effort.
Best regards,
Senator Karen S. Johnson kjohnson@azleg.gov 602-926-3160 Arizona Senate 1700 W. Washington St.

PLEASE, do not wait to act on this. Because of citizen resistance the SPP has been forced to back out of promoting the NAU on a Federal Level and they are now trying to implement it State by State. You can only guess which side Good old Napolitano is on. We need this to pass so that Arizona can stand with other states that have established that we will not tolerate a merging of North America. Let's flood their offices and show them that majority of Arizona (and the country and the world) opposes the NAU.
LETTER FROM AZ SENATOR KAREN JOHNSON - LESS THAN 12 HOURS LEFT TO ACT

Senator Karen S. Johnson kjohnson@azleg.gov 602-926-3160 Arizona Senate 1700 W. Washington St. Phoenix, Arizona 85007
IT IS WORKING! WE ARE DOING IT!! WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR???
If one of the Representatives whom voted "NO" on this bill moves for reconsideration within 24-hours, then discussion is re-opened and the previous vote is null.
Here is what YOU can do to help: Rich Crandall voted "NO", but since then he's been educated on the importance of this bill. Now he's on the fence.
I believe that we can flood his email, phone and fax urging him to move for reconsideration and that he'll do it.
His contact info is rcrandall@azleg.gov, (p) 602 926 3020, and (f) 602 417 3119.
Take action now! Let's win this thing! Below is the message that I sent to Rich Crandall.
from: theunitedfreaks to: rcrandall@azleg.gov date: Tue, Mar 11, 2008 at 9:54 PM subject: Reconsider HCM 2003 mailed-by: gmail.com
Dear Rich,
I noticed that you voted "NO" to HCM 2003. I am urging you to move for reconsideration ASAP.
This is a very big and important issue that is part of a larger agenda. It will be very dangerous to leave the People of Arizona open to the possibility of a North American Union.
The North American Union is not a joke, Rich. It's the death of this country. No more Constitution, no more Bill of Rights, no more "of the People, by the People, for the People".
Please reconsider your vote and support the People to whom you took an oath.
Dear Friends old and new, i know i've been away awhile and i've missed a bit of you a whole bunch and a bunch of you a bit - and hopefully you know who you are ^_^ and as for everyone else, i can't wait to get to know you ^_^ and wow, i am flattered! i can't believe how many people wanted to be my friend after all this ^_^ i do love you dearly, but fear it will be some time before i can get through all of the emails (400 in my care2 account alone) so if you are waiting on a response please bare with me ^_^ i suppose i'll handle it like a whale - start at the tail and take small bites. i am greatfull for every single email and will respond to them all! i just can't thank y'all enough for your kindness and am awaiting the day when i am able to pay it forward ^_^ and for the few who have seen this as an opportunity to show me more ugliness and mean spirited behavior - i will continue to ignore and delete your emails (i won't even read them anymore so you are wasting your time) and you are not preventing me from using this or any other network i choose to be a part of! there are more NICE people in the world and i have proof now ^_^ that being said, the rat race seems to have the better of me at the moment and my time on here will be sparse for a while, but once my financial situation is straitened out i will be all over the place like before ^_^ what can i cay when words are not enough? ^_^ the biggest thanx possible for sharing the kindness we needed to get through this tough time! we will manage to keep our heads above water and more importantly (thanx to your beautiful words and pictures) we are as happy as ever - thankx to y'all, the mean people of the world will never get us down again! ^_^ happy HAPPY trails, Anne M. ps. i'm working on a video of things, so feel free to check it out soon http://www.youtube.com/profile_videos?user=divinityblue
please read this letter from a local Ron Paul meetup member... then get your BOOTS ON THE GROUND!
Dear Ron Paul Patriots,
I have to share a very touching (and motivating) story with you. Andrea told me about an elderly woman in the East Valley Meetup Group who volunteered to help. The woman said she could make phone calls, so Andrea sent her a list of names, and then another list, and then another! The woman completed over five pages of names! Andrea called the woman to check up on her the other night and was informed that our elderly patriot is now in the hospital in hospice care. She is literally at death's doorstep, but she kept telling Andrea, "I'm so sorry. I wish I could help more. I'm so sorry." This woman has no doubt lived a full life and now her strength is nearly all spent.
I am so proud to be a part of a movement that inspires young and old to forge through pages and pages of phone numbers and names, all in the name of FREEDOM! If you have been standing shoulder to shoulder with this brave patriot who, at death's very doorstep, is giving every last bit of energy and strength she has to preserve this nation, then I applaud you! If you have yet to ask for a phone list I plead with you to do so!
As I have been making phone calls I've noticed that quite a few people are still undecided and need only your voice to tell them who to vote for. People are so friendly to me, even those who are voting for our opponents! Do not be afraid, do not be shy! You are made in the image of God Almighty and you have the strength and the power to march boldly forward to freedom. I guarantee that if you make calls you WILL make a difference.
Thank you for your hard work and thank you to this patriot who, in the twilight hours of her life, is still standing strong though her body now desires only rest.
Get a list of your very own today. If you are short on time, then ask for a shorter list. Be bold. Be brave. Do not lose hope and do not lose courage. There IS hope for America!
