Kucinich: U.S. should abandon NAFTA, WTO
JAMES PRICHARD
Associated Press

The Democratic presidential candidate's message hit close to home for the 150 or so people who came out to see him speak at the United Auto Workers Local 137 union hall the day before the state's Democratic caucuses.

(snip)
"The United States must, must get out of NAFTA. We must get out of the WTO. We have to get out," Kucinich said. The union hall erupted with thunderous applause and loud cheers before he could finish the word "NAFTA."

After Kucinich's appearance, Rex Johnson, 56, of Belding, said he "learned a lot" about the candidate's stand on labor issues. Johnson retired a year ago from Electrolux after working nearly 20 years at the plant; his wife still works there.

"I agree with what he said - NAFTA's got to go, WTO's got to go. It's all got to go," Johnson said. "It's doing American business good but it's not doing the American people any good. And if we shrivel up and die, what's left?"

5. He's right

The WTO must go. The WTO must end. Nafta must go......The more people know and read about the World Trade Organization and Nafta the more people will know how horrendous they are. People inform yourselves. The world trade organization has more power than your vote. goggle search it read and inform yourself. Please for everyone's future here and abroad.

6. You're so right -- democracy is subverted with those agreements.

Make no mistake.

7. Bumpety-bump.

I cannot imagine how stressful that would be to know your plant was going to Mexico and you were going to lose your job, and decide on a presidential candidate, knowing you were going to be permanently unemployed.:dem:

BECAUSE around here everyone has already lost their jobs. THIRTY PER CENT UNEMPLOYMENT!!(And they voted for DK by a 5:1 margin because he would be good for labor.)
