WASHINGTON--(ENEWSPF)--October 11 - Congressman Dennis Kucinich (D-OH) will today take his relentless opposition to three proposed ‘free trade’ agreements to the House floor. The House is expected to begin consideration of free trade agreements with Korea, Panama and Colombia tonight. Kucinich is managing time in opposition to H.R. 3079, the United-States Panama Trade Promotion Implementation Act

He outlined his opposition to the free trade agreements in the following statement:

“Today the House will begin consideration of three NAFTA-style free trade agreements with Colombia, Panama and South Korea at a time when our nation’s unemployment rate continues to hover around 9 percent.

“Free Trade Agreements (FTA) have proven deadly for the American workforce and American workers. They prioritize the rights of multinational companies over the rights of workers, exacerbate the negative effects of globalization, facilitate the outsourcing of American jobs overseas and fail to adequately protect the environment.

Where are the polls on the favorably of new free trade agreements? You ain't gonna see one because they don't want you to know that the American people have an unfavorable view of free trade deals to the tune of nearly 90%.
