JOHN BIRCH SOCIETY TARGETS PROPOSED
FREE TRADE AREA OF THE AMERICAS (FTAA)
Appleton, WI February 13, 2004
The John Birch Society has launched an all-out drive to combat the
globalist plan to establish a 34 nation Free Trade Area of the Americas
(FTAA) More than ten years in the making, the FTAA is "designed to unite
all Western Hemisphere nations except Cuba into exactly the kind of
sovereignty-destroying arrangement that is costing the nations of the
European Union their independence." So States John F. McManus, Chairman of
the Society's New Campaign.
President Bush has endorsed the plans for an FTAA. His
administration is committed to negotiating an agreement by January 2005,
which must then be submitted to Congress for its approval. Although FTAA
proponents argue that the FTAA will raise prosperity throughout the
Western Hemisphere, Mr. Mcmanus claims that consenting to the FTAA will
mean "a huge increase in the number of jobs leaving the United States; a
dramatic swelling of immigrants entering the United States; and eventual
destruction of our nation's hard-won independence."
The John Birch Society has launched its "ACTIVATE CONGRESS: STOP
THE FTAA" campaign to alert Americans to what it terms "the suicidal path
being laid out for our nation." The campaign urges the American people to
demand that their Representatives and Senators reject all pressures that
would have them approve FTAA membership for the United States.
Mr. McManus insists: " The FTAA is being falsely promoted under the
misleading label of free trade." Likening the pact to similar agreements
already approved, he points to their "hundreds of pages of regulations in
The North American Free Trade Aggreemnt (NAFTA) and the World Trade
organization (WTO) that have cost jobs, opened borders, and already
superseded some our nation's laws." And he adds, "The entanglements
weren't really about free trade at all, but about empowering a vast new
prosperity discouraging socialist bureaucracy."
Mr. McManus believes that, like its predecessors in NAFTA and WTO,
"The FTAA is poisonous bait on a barbed hook." After studying how "the
European Union has virtually destroyed the sovereignty of its member
nations," he is convinced that "America is being led down an identical
path that will cost us in numerous ways, most importantly in our nation's
independence." If the FTAA isn't blocked, Mr. McManus contends, "Americans
will end up having as much control over their lives as the people of Cuba
currently have over theirs."
The John Birch Society's "STOP THE FTAA" campaign plans to enlist
Americans from coast to coast who are concerned about jobs, immigration
policies, and preserving national independence. But it will also seek to
arouse many who haven't yet felt the effect of already enacted trade
agreements. For more information on the campaign, or to schedule a media
