From an email I received earlier:
I urge you and all other opponents of the North American Union (NAU) and NAFTA Superhighway to go to the NAU War Room to read the latest article (from WorldNetDaily) posted on our news page. The article, written by Dr. Robert Pastor, does more to prove the existence of plans for both the Superhighway and the NAU than anything I could have written!
In an article titled “I propose a North American Community”, Pastor denies that any plans for an NAU or NAFTA Superhighway exist. Incredibly, he then goes on to argue strongly that 1) we need to tear down barriers between the U.S. and Canada, and Mexico, 2) that NAFTA is a great success, 3) that he wants not a “North American Union”, but rather a “North American Community”, 4) that the SPP does not go far enough, 5) that we need a not an actual “European Union”, but rather something “leaner”, and 6) that a “NAFTA Superhighway” is urgently needed. Pastor also denies that he seeks a common currency similar to the ‘Euro”– not because it’s a bad idea – but rather because we don’t yet have a good plan to introduce it to our economies!Go the NAU War Room and read this revealing article from the “Father of the North Community” himself.

Also, here’s a 2006 article on Robert Pastor on WorldNetDaily:
http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=53378
Here are some excerpts from the above article:
Pastor, a professor at American University, says that in such a case the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America, or SPP – launched in 2005 by the heads of the three countries at a summit in Waco, Texas – could be developed into a continental union, complete with a new currency, the amero, that would replace the U.S. dollar just as the euro has replaced the national currencies of Europe.
In May 2005, Pastor was co-chairman the Council on Foreign Relations task force that produced a report entitled “Toward a North American Community,” which he has claimed is the blueprint behind the SSP declared by President Bush, Mexico’s then-President Vicente Fox, and Canada’s then-Prime Minister Paul Martin.
At American University in Washington, D.C., Pastor directs the Center for North American Studies where he teaches a course entitled “North America: A Union, A Community, or Just Three Nations?” As WND previously has reported, Pastor is on the board of the North American Forum on Integration, the NAFI, a non-profit organization that annually holds a mock trilateral parliament for 100 selected students drawn from 10 universities in the U.S., Canada and Mexico.
Pastor had published an interview in Spanish in the Oct. 24 issue of Poder y Negocios. He told the magazine crises can force decisions that otherwise would not be made.
“The 9/11 crisis made Canada and the United States redefine the protection of their borders,” Pastor explained. “The debt crisis in Mexico forced the government to adapt a new economic model. The crises oblige the governments to make difficult decisions.”
