- "According to Sierra Club member Rick Lamonica, `The greatest
- danger with free trade is the [further] empowerment of
- transnational corporations to transcend political governments and
- expand exploitation everywhdre. In institutes methods for
- corporations to circumvent environmental, labor, and consumer
- protection regulations through appointed, unaccountable

- "Mary Jo Maroney summed up feelings of the Gateway Greens: `Greens
- believe that popele themselves, through their elected workplace
- and community representatives, should decide what do produce anad
- how to do it. Citizense of the U.S., Mexico, and Canada should
- control our own economic destinies. NAFTA would be a sharp turn
- away from ecological sanity. Defeating NAFTA is a must; but, we
- must do more. We must remove power from multinationla corporations
- and create true economic democracy.'
