One of the most important, but widely unknown bills currently proposed in Congress is legislation that would end American participation in the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). The bill, H.R. 4759, calls for America’s withdrawal from the free trade agreement, and is sponsored by several Democrats and a small cadre of Republicans, including Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas) and Rep. Walter B. Jones (R- N.C.).

Introduced back in February, the legislation seeks to immediately terminate American participation in NAFTA. Rep. Mike McIntyre (D-N.C., left), the bill’s chief sponsor, says that “NAFTA has done way too much damage, and we need to repeal it! NAFTA has cost too many jobs, eroded our industrial base, and decimated towns and communities. Enough is enough — we need to focus on creating jobs right here in the United States — not in foreign countries!â€

Time to dump NAFTA as well as shut down the Immigration Industry. Both have decimated this country and its once thriving middle class. We also need to use all possible sources of energy at home. Stop borrowing and create legislation that forbids it....

No more globalization. Its a complete screwing over of the American people. STOP NOW

Personally I love free trade when comes to also being fair trade. However free trade and fair trade are NOT the same thing.

If one country has thousands of laws to protect workers and make sure workers get a fair shake in the workplace and another country promotes near slave labor wages and no benefits for workers and no product regulation and protections to protect consumers then the 2 countries standards are not even meaning they could NEVER have a fair Free Trade.

Now if the countries were like Britain and the US both having solid worker protections and consumer protections in place Free Trade agreements would be a boon to both countries. But when one country is a 3rd world cesspool of slime and filth it doesn't work.
