We need to elect delegates who will oppose NAFTA
The best delegates for this are those of Kucinich and Edwards. Kucinich wants to repeal it. Edwards campaigned against it. Dean said in the NH debate he didn't want to get rid of NAFTA. Don't know about Kerry. Clark wants to reform it.

1. Is Edwards sincere?
Has he said anything on record before this election about NAFTA, or is he just saying this because Dick Gephardt made it an issue?

2. Kerryt said he would review NAFTA 120 days after his election
Some answer from you professional politician, aye? He voted for it in the first place and has not complained about it yet much less called for its repeal.

I am for the repeal of NAFTA, but with corporate representatives running government, it just does not look likely.

3. Kucinich would pull the plug. As prez, he'd have that power.
A fact already decided by the courts when Bush One pulled out of the ABM treaty. If a treaty has a get-out provision, the prez can invoke it.

4. yes we do
or else we could very easily lose. At this point, we don't have much to make a clear distinction between our likely nominee and Bush.
