Independence Day - A Day to Protect our Freedoms! 7/3/2008
By CWA Staff

Just in time for Independence Day, Concerned Women for America (CWA) of Illinois presents a dynamic new resource that educates and empowers our citizens. CWA of Illinois has developed a presentation that fully explains the phenomenon of the "North American Union" (NAU). Our right to self-govern and our ability to speak and worship as we choose could be taken away if we sacrifice our national sovereignty for economic prosperity. This resource arms U.S. citizens with the necessary tools to take action.

"CWA of Illinois is offering this valuable resource free of charge to fan the flames of passion for this issue and ignite the grassroots movement of CWA to prayer and action," says State Director Colleen Nolan. "We compiled all of our research into a PowerPoint presentation that is easy to download and free of charge because this issue means everything to our nation."

As we celebrate our nation's independence and our Forefathers' fight for the freedoms we enjoy, American citizens must be reminded to be diligent in protecting those freedoms, which are only a vote, treaty, or judicial ruling away from being ripped from our reality. The concept of a North American "Union" or "Community" would jeopardize the national sovereignty of the United States by creating international laws that would ultimately trump our federal laws. If influenced by our northern neighbors, the United States could end up in a situation similar to the one in Canada where expressions of religious belief are being prosecuted as "hate crimes" by local "Human Rights Commissions."

Colleen states, "Our national sovereignty holds within it our ability to worship our Almighty God, through Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit, and proclaim Biblical values. What makes CWA such a visionary organization is their focus on the power of prayer. Their ability to rally prayer warriors to fight for Biblical values is what will make the difference."

Pressure and public outcry by U.S. citizens can radically alter the plans of those who would weaken our borders for financial gain. Texas residents recently experienced a victory in their fight against a "NAFTA Superhighway" planned in their community when the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) announced that they would forego any new roadwork in favor of improving existing roadways.

Let your voices be heard by the leaders of our country. Utilize this educational tool in rallying the prayer warriors and citizen activists in your community to fight efforts to create a "North American Union." Protect the freedoms that our Forefathers' fought so bravely to establish as we celebrate the anniversary of our nation's independence.
