Bob Barr on Free Trade

	Bob Barr on Free Trade Libertarian nominee for President; Former Republican Representative (GA-7)

For free trade, but pull out of NAFTA & the WTO

You count on third-party candidates to bring up issues the major parties aren’t touching. Nader, Barr, and Baldwin did that--and also taught a lesson in how the hard-left, libertarian right, hard-right can agree. They all want to pull the United States out of international trade agreements, from NAFTA to the WTO (though Barr, a free-trader, says he’s all for open trade and lowering tariffs, but against international organizations that can overrule American laws).
