Terminate NAFTA, GATT, WTO and MFN

NAFTA, GATT, WTO and MFN have been colossal failures. We need to terminate all of these American job killing trade agreements immediately--and we should not even think of joining the FTAA! Source: Campaign website, www.davebrownlow.com, "Key_Issues" Jun 21, 2008

Support free and fair trade, plus anti-dumping laws

We should support free and fair trade. But Congress has a duty to protect us from dumping by foreign companies that target our key industries. It should also be made very difficult for a U.S. company to shut down their manufacturing operations here and then immediately re-open their factory in a foreign country. They relocate to, or source products from countries where they pay the equivalent of slave labor wages and where they do not have to follow any of the oppressive regulations we do here. We are committing national suicide by killing off our manufacturing base. Congress is mandated to regulate international commerce and it is time to use those powers to protect our industries.
