Do things like free trade agreements and World Trade organization undermine will of the people of USA?
If as a country our govt is accountable to the will of the citizens, but our politicians enter into agreements that essentially defer the power we give them to other entities and other countries to the point that even if there was a ground swell from the people against certain agreements that the politicians tell us that their hands are tied and they can’t implement the changes we want because that would tick off Mexico or Canada or China or the europeans etc… does this not undermine the idea of govt of the people by the people for the benefit of the people?
Should we not as americans force our politicians to back away from such agreements that tie our hands to the point that we no longer control our own government?
I think a case can be made that such agreements are unconstitutional.

Yes it has. People try to say bill clinton was behind NAFTA which he was but it was the republican controlled congress that was all for it and that is why it passed because the republicans like ruining America. Notice all the republicans that were in favor and voted for it distancing themselves from NAFTA and saying it was all clinton. I should say all republicans except the biggest idiot bush. bush didnt learn from his faters mistakes and lowered taxes anyway in a worse way(tax breaks for the rich only – those who dont need and caused a tax re-distribution) and brought us right back into the bush recession of the 90′s. How did daddy solve this problem? he made a new tax and repealed some others.

Well if you want to pay $50 for something your paying $5 for now at the store. Do away with the trade agreements.
It’s your choice.

Bush Sr. started the N.A.F.T.A. movement Clinton finished. When are American’s going to wake up to the cold hard truth that all politicians Republican and Democrats alike all cowtow to the same elite power brokers. You may have a voTe, but you don’t truly have a voice (until they come for your guns, then you can speak (LOUD AND CLEAR)!

Our government speaks for us, giving our sovreignty to other countries doesn’t speak for us. Lying to us because you want to test your libido doesn’t speak for us. Going to war for one reason when in reality it is for a different reason doesn’t speak for us. Allowing the increase of gas prices because you want to save face doesn’t speak for us. Allowing the imprisonment of numbers of people from our embassy doesn’t speak for us. WHEN WILL SOMEONE SPEAK FOR US.

In answer to your question…YES
It is also “TREASON” as they are sworn to PROTECT
the USA not sell it out…
The WTO is nothing more than the Arm in which the
“ONE WORLD GOVERNMENT” crowd use to further
their agenda…
I think its time for a “SECOND AMERICAN REVOLUTION”
