PANGosaurus==<;'';> =================================== BILL MOYERS REPORTS: TRADING DEMOCRACY FINAL TRANSCRIPT 15 January Broadcast 5 February 2002 on PBS OPEN: BILL MOYERS: Everyone's heard about NAFTA - the North American Free Trade Agreement - and all the talk about jobs. But almost no one heard about one obscure section of NAFTA - Chapter 11 - except for multinational corporations who are using it to challenge democracy. CHARLES "CHIP" ROH: If you regulate and make me less profitable, pay me off. SEN. SHEIL KUEHL: There's no democracy in any of this stuff. BILL MOYERS: Today, foreign companies are exploiting Chapter 11 to attack public laws that protect our health - and our environment - even to attack the American judicial system. MARTIN WAGNER: It's sort of a like a sophisticated extortion racket. WILLIAM GREIDER: We're gonna hit you for half a billion dollars if you do this. BILL MOYERS: Secret NAFTA Tribunals can force taxpayers to pay billions of dollars in lawsuits filed by corporations against the United States. BILL MOYERS: The public doesn't have a clue? WILLIAM GREIDER: This was not in the debate at all. MIKE ALLRED: If the American people ever find out, they are going to be in open rebellion against this. BILL MOYERS: NAFTA's Chapter 11 threatens radical changes in public policy. But it's all happening out of sight. Citizens have no seat at the table.
