2,326 Letters Sent So Far

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....etc.
