OKLAHOMA LEGISLATURE APPROVES BILL TO CREATE SMART PORTS AND NAFTA SUPERHIGHWAY
Dear Concerned Oklahoma Citizens
On Tuesday, April 29, 2008 the Oklahoma legislature passed SB 1507 which will allow for the creation of foreign owned "Smart Ports" within the state of Oklahoma. The wording in this bill would also allow for the creation of the NAFTA Superhighway through Oklahoma. The bill has been sent to Governor Brad Henry for his signature. Once Governor Henry signs this bill it will become the law in Oklahoma. Please read the following wording which was included in this bill:
4. "Project" or "projects" means any facility constructed or improvements made under the provisions of this act by an international trade processing authority for the purpose of acquiring, constructing, equipping and operating an international trade processing center, including rail, water, air, highway intermodal facilities, and commercial support facilities, and shall include all buildings, structures, landscaping, infrastructure, utilities, roadways, railways, parking structures, parking lots, sidewalks, personal property and fixtures, equipment and machinery, and other improvements which an international trade processing authority may deem necessary for the operation of such project, together with all property, rights, easements and interests which may be acquired by an international trade processing authority for the construction or operation of such.
The purpose of a "Smart Port" is to allow imported goods to pass through the U.S./Mexican border without going through customs until it reaches Oklahoma. This is the first major step into creating a connecting NAFTA Superhighway through Oklahoma. This bill must be stopped IMMEDIATELY!! Please call Governor Henry's office Wednesday morning and urge him to veto SB 1507.
