A coalition of 27 lawmakers from across the political spectrum is sponsoring a bill to withdraw the U.S. from the North American Free Trade Agreement, or NAFTA, in as little as six months.

Rep. Gene Taylor, D-Miss., has introduced HR 4759, "To provide for the withdrawal of the United States from the North American Free Trade Agreement."

Does WND have the specific law incorrect? The one you posted above is the US/Australia FTA...?

At any rate, I don't think we'll ever withdraw from NAFTA. Big multi national corporations lose out if FTAs are repealled and they are forced to "support" an American middle class.

Besides, those same corporations own the Senate and most of the House, it would quickly get torpedoed or a senator would add an amendment that requires killing baby kittens or something else that would make the bill DOA.

I dunno, weird, they must have mixed up the numbers, or not searched for existing legislation under HR 4759 before they made this new one.

But anyway, yep, it's happening, although note that is has been referred to committee- The House Ways and Means Committee, no less. It may never make it out of there alive.

Umm, that is the same link as posted in the OP.

Thanks for trying to help, but until I see that sukka up on Thomas.gov, no go. And I have indeed verified it on thomas.gov, so yes it is true.

Trust whatever source you want! I have followed bills on OpenCongress several times, so when I saw the bill listed there thru the link suppllied on WND, I new it was good.

Hate to be negative about this bill, but like Nicodeme stated, this bill doesn't have a prayer. This OP and the article on WND will be the last we ever hear about it.
