Withdraw from WTO and Repeal NAFTA, GATT, and CAFTA

The WTO, NAFTA and CAFTA undermine our security, Indepence and sovereignty.

The Constitution of the United States of America established our nation as an independent Democratic Republic controlled by the people. The Constitution established the laws and principles that bind us together as a free and independent nation; and



Our Constitution established that Congress, and only Congress has the power to negotiate trade with foreign countries; and,



In confirmation, Article 1, section 8 of the U.S. Constitution clearly states: "Congress shall have the Power to regulate Commerce with foreign Nations, and among the several States, and with the Indian Tribes?; and



As a member of the WTO, the United States must conform to the rules and regulations of a foreign multi-lateral agency called the World Trade Organization; and



As a member of the WTO, Congress has illegally forfeited the power, (granted only to Congress by our constitution), to regulate U.S. commerce to a foreign power called the WTO.



Moreover, there is no provision in the Constitution that gives Congress the authority to pass the power to regulate, control, or govern U.S. commerce to a foreign nation, government, body, or agency like the World Trade Organization.



In addition, the President does not have the Constitutional power to negotiate trade agreements such as the North American Free Trade Agreement, the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade, or the Central American Free Trade Agreement, as trade negotiation is the sole domain of the Congress of the United States according to our Constitution, Article 1, section 8.



Moreover, We the People of the United States of America believe that our Constitution is the law of the land and membership in the WTO violates Article 1, section 8 of our constitution; and is therefore unconstitutional and illegal.



Furthermore, We the People believe that NAFTA, GATT, and CAFTA both undermine our economy, our security, and the sovereignty of our great nation; and



WHEREAS, U.S. trade deficits with China, Mexico, and Canada have increased significantly since the implementation of NAFTA and GATT, and that undermines our economy, sovereignty, and our independence as a nation; and



WHEREAS, NAFTA has served as a conduit for smuggling illegal aliens, illegal drugs, and terrorists into this country; and



WHEREAS, We the People, under our constitution, are against turning over our economy, our security, our independence, and our sovereignty to a foreign body; and



WHEREAS, we concede to the fact that the WTO, GATT, NAFTA, and CAFTA undermine our economy, our security, our independence, and our national sovereignty; and



WHEREAS, we believe that Americans, as a people, have the right to keep the fruits of their labor, and as a sovereign independent nation, we owe nothing to foreign countries, groups, or agencies; and



WHEREAS, we believe in upholding the Constitution of the United States of America as the supreme law of the land; and



WHEREAS, the Constitution grants Congress, and Congress alone, the authority to regulate commerce; and



WHEREAS, Congress does not have Constitutional authority to cede the control of international trade or commerce to the WTO or any other foreign government, or international body or agency; and



WHEREAS, our membership in the WTO violates Article 1, section 8, of

the Constitution of the United States of America and is therefore illegal; and



WHEREAS, the President nor Congress can not legally sign any treaty that purports to cede the authority to control U.S. commerce, trade or tariffs to a foreign body; therefore,



BE IT RESOLVED, that we the People endorse the following constitutional principles:



1. The United States government including Congress does not have the power under the Constitution of the United States of America to cede the regulation or the control of commerce to a foreign body, government, or agency.



2. Under our constitution, the United States of America does not have to answer to any governing body outside the United States for its trade regulations or trade policy.



3. Ceding authority over U.S. trade and commerce to a foreign body, government, or agency is illegal and in direct violation of Article 1, section 8, of the Constitution of the United States of America.



4. NAFTA, GATT, and CAFTA exported our jobs and our properity to foreign countries and inported illegal aliens, drugs, and terrorists.



THEREFORE, We the People petition congress to honor our Constitution and their pledge to uphold and defend our Constitution by acting immediately to withdraw the United States of America from the World Trade Organization, and by repealing NAFTA, GATT, and CAFTA which are all unfair and unlawful trade agreements that undetmine our economy and our sovereignty.
