-Caveat Lector- To The Editor, FTAA: A Huge Power Grab The American people are not being told that the proposed "Free Trade area of the Americas"(FTAA) is much more than a simple trade pact. The architects of the FTAA intend that it broaden and deepen The North American Free trade Agreement (NAFTA). Instead of the U.S., Mexico, and Canada, which comprise NAFTA, the FTAA would broaden NAFTA by encompassing all 34 nations of the Western Hemisphere, with the current exception of Cuba. It would deepen NAFTA by involving the FTAA in an ever increasing number of functions that are properly the private domain of national governments. Even now NAFTA tribunals are claiming the authority, approved 10 years ago by Congress to overturn the decisions of U.S. Courts. In 1993, Henry Kissinger lobbied for NAFTA by noting that NAFTA "is not a conventional trade agreement, but the architecture of a new international system."The FTAA would be a further expansion of that architecture, with a shifting of control of government's functions to unelected bureaucrats. The appeal of "Free Trade"in the name chosen for this latest power grab is a blatant deception. Trade under the FTAA would be highly regulated by a socialist bureaucracy, even more so than with NAFTA. Americans should appeal to their Federal representative and Federal Senators to reject any agreement to expand NAFTA into an FTAA. Current plans are to complete hemispheric agreement by JAnuary 2005 and then present it to Congress. For more information check out the website www.STOPtheFTAA.org.
