This is never going to change anything, but maybe her heart is in the right place. Its certainly in some place anyway.

1. Utterly unecessary
That's a fairly ridiculous petition. Free trade is named as such because that is an accurate description (in the increasingly rare cases now where trade is actually free and not bound by hordes of clumsy subsidies). This is why naming terrorists as such is appropriate as well, they are terrorists because they further their cause through the use of terror.

In addition just as "Free Trade" potentially has a positive connotation, so do "Unregulated Trade" and "Wild Capitalism" have a negative connotation. This is an example of someone trying to push an agenda on a pointless issue.
