THE PROGRAM

1. Eliminate the large trade deficits that have made us the world's largest debtor nation. Countries conducting unfair trade practices must be required to provide compensating benefits to the U.S. on the import of those products.

2. Withdraw from the WTO and develop tailored trade agreements with other nations according to the practices and performance of those countries.

3. Nullify the incentive to relocate manufacturing to low wage regions around the world where the market is the U.S. consumer.

4. Maintain the ability to manufacture or stockpile all products vital to our national security.

5. Advocate a Buy America policy that patronizes American made goods. Articles may carry the label Made in the U.S.A. only when they meet strict requirements for materials content, processing, assembly and packaging. All imported products, including food, are required to bear a label stating Country of Origin.

6. Safeguard American employment and labor standards and uphold our ban on the import of the products of child and slave labor.

1. Establish and enforce requirements for our trade agreements that safeguard the American employment and labor standards, consumer health and safety, and environmental protection while preserving a favorable environment for our small and large businesses.

2. Periodically review and report to the people, the performance of U.S. trade with respect to the criteria defined above.

3. Terminate or require the renegotiation of agreements, remove MFN status, or require penalties where these criteria have not been met.

4. Restore the full Constitutional authority of Congress to regulate commerce and thus deter the use of special trade concessions as a tool for diplomacy.

5. All International trade agreements that would abridge U.S. laws shall only be considered under the Treaty Provision of the U.S. Constitution requiring a 2/3 vote of the Senate.
