Withdraw from NAFTA, WTO, UN, IMF, & Federal Reserve
It is our duty to immediately withdraw the US from all institutions which challenge and undermine the American system of sovereignty and accountability - and that includes the UN, the IMF, the World Bank, NAFTA, the WTO, the Asian Development
Bank, the InterAmerican Development Bank, the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development - and, yes, the Federal Reserve.
Clinton’s “Mexican hayride” provided a $50 billion bailout for the corrupt government of Mexico. This linked the dollar to the peso. It’s one of the reasons the collapse of the dollar has been escalating. Republicans signed their public support for the
Mexican hayride. It’s a disaster with enormous consequences. In 1971, there were 365 yen to the dollar. [By 1995] it’s about 80 yen to the dollar. Look at the fall of the dollar. Every American has gotten a pay cut, because of the Mexican hayride.

Giving up sovereignty is unconstitutional & dangerous
If we lose national sovereignty, we lose our liberty. Neither the UN, the World Bank, the IMF, nor other similar institutions are accountable to you or your elected legislators. They have power to spend your money and make decisions which profoundly
affect you across the full spectrum of human activity, from environment to economics to health to culture. That’s why the Framers made it unconstitutional for Congress to surrender control over trade policy to GATT, or to NAFTA, or even to the President.

Howard Phillips on China
Permanent NTR is unconstitutional
The WTO agreement negotiated by Barshefsky requires Congress to abdicate its constitutional authority, by granting the PRC permanent ‘normal trading relations’ status and thus guaranteeing that Congress will not impose economic sanctions on the Chinese
government in the future to protest China’s notorious violations of internationally recognized standards of human rights, or its dangerous exports of ballistic missiles and nuclear-weapons technologies to states such as Iran, Iraq or Sudan.
Section 8 of Article I of the U.S. Constitution states this unequivocally: ‘The Congress shall have Power...To regulate Commerce with foreign nations?

MFN for China is a gift to the People’s Liberation Army
Since 1994, we have seen Bill Clinton and Al Gore at the White House and Newt Gingrich and Trent Lott on Capitol Hill support the repeated enactment of Most-Favored-Nation status for Communist China, despite the increasing military threat which
Beijing poses to the United States, a threat buttressed by this $60 billion annual MFN gift to the People’s Liberation Army. Now, Congress has also voted to extend MFN to the Communist government of Vietnam.
