 Both houses of the Arizona legislature introduced legislation petitioning Congress to pass the ASRA (HCM 2009 in 2004, SCM 1002 in 2006); in 2007 similar legislation passed the Arizona Senate (SCM 1002 in 2007), but with the focus changed from the ASRA to Virgil Goode's Congressional resolution not to engage in a NAFTA Superhighway or a North American Union (, now ).The John Birch Society recognizes the ASRA as a reflection of its efforts since 1962 toward U.S. withdrawal.Their publication "New American" sees Nathan Tabor's anti-U.N. book, "The Beast on the East River", as a building block toward ASRA passage, which it advocates because "the U.S. military is currently being used as the enforcement arm of the United Nations."
