Bills: Withdraw from NAFTA, U.N.
Concord Monitor
March 19, 2011
One resolution urges Congress to withdraw the U.S. from the North American Free Trade Agreement. The other urges Congress to withdraw the U.S. from the United Nations "so that the United States may retain its sovereignty and control over its own funds and military."
Both were sponsored by Rep. Norman Tregenza (http://gencourt.state.nh.us/house/members/member.aspx?member=377042), a Silver Lake Republican and first-term representative who belongs to the John Birch Society. The NAFTA bill passed the House, 172-124. The UN bill passed, 189-107. After the vote, the society sent out a press release stating that "Both resolutions were drafted by the John Birch Society (http://www.jbs.org/)." While bills are drafted by the Office of Legislative Services, members can suggest language and Tregenza confirmed that the society wrote the bills and he introduced them.
Democrats said they were not surprised by the bill's origins. "The bottom line is how many ways can we politely say, 'Are you nuts?' " said Robert Theberge, a Berlin Democrat and member of the House State-Federal Relations and Veterans Affairs Committee, which considered the bills.
Tregenza said the bills reflected important issues. "Industry is leaving America because of a variety of reasons, of which NAFTA is a key reason," Tregenza said. He said NAFTA increased regulations on businesses, forcing companies to move manufacturing jobs overseas to remain competitive.
Tregenza said withdrawing from the U.N. is an issue of sovereignty and money. The United States pays a large portion of U.N. costs to help other nations, and U.S. taxpayers pay diplomats' salaries.

"It's about government regulation, intrusion and losing jobs," McNally said.
