Help me convince my editorial board the NAU/regional currency is a bad Idea

Despite mainstream media (IHT/NYT, Newsweek) saying NAU is conspiratorial crazy talk, some on my editorial board want to advocate an NAU. We narrowly avoided the topic at our last meeting and I know it will be brought up again. The ones who pushed for it said “it will give our currency (U.S. $) steroids” and the other just thought it was a good idea because he is a euro-phile.

Please forgive me for being a newb I only discovered a passion for economics recently, Austrian economics even more recently (however I’ve been a gold bug for years, chalk that up to gut feelings). Worse still I know more about economics than any from my, scary thought.

Please help me with some convincing arguments against the EU as a model as simply as Rothbard would have put it. Also can you point in the right direction to find out why the Netherlands and France rejected the TEC (European constitution), can’t find it anywhere

Thanks

The reasons they rejected the constitution are many and varied, but principally it is because people are fed up of the EU’s elitist, bureaucratic nature. Particularly, the process of admitting Turkey was done without much consultation of the citizenry, and this was the straw that broke the proverbial camel’s back.
