I just received this email from Dianne Feinstein (hardly a surprise):



Thank you for writing to express your concern about U.S. cooperation with Canada and Mexico. I appreciate the time you took to write me and welcome the opportunity to respond.



In the past several months, my office has received a number of letters regarding allegations that the Administration is taking steps toward the creation of a "North American Union." Several constituents expressed special concern about the Security and Prosperity Partnership, which was created in 2005 to facilitate and strengthen cooperation between the United States, Canada, and Mexico on issues affecting North America as a whole, including terrorism, pandemics, energy security, environmental practices, and trade.



I do not support a political or economic union with Canada and Mexico. In my view, the United States must continue to work closely with its neighbors to address shared regional challenges while maintaining its sovereignty. At this time, my office has been unable to corroborate allegations about attempts to create a "North American Union."



Again, thank you for writing. If you have any further comments, please contact my office in Washington, D.C. at (202) 224-3841. Best regards.






Sincerely yours,

Dianne Feinstein
United States Senator
