"Outsourcing is not the problem. What is the problem is our trade agreements that benefit the management and, of course, the shareholders, and have neglected on either side of the issue, whether it's in Mexico or in other countries or the United States. That's the problem that must be addressed. So, no, it's not outsourcing. But I would add to it, it's the way all of these people want to finance health care, on the backs of businesses, that make them uncompetitive in the world. That's part of the problem. And our system of taxation is also part of the problem because it makes us uncompetitive in the world."

2. Who said:

"I would have labor treaties that have teeth, consumer protection treaties, and food and environmental treaties. If we put it all in one big trade treaty, the economic imperative is going to always dominate, just because the corporations are always there. We’ve progressed by subordinating the commercial to the human rights, labor rights, and environmental rights imperatives."

4. Who said:

"Not only do I not want a North American Union, I want us out of the U.N., the IMF, the World Bank, the WTO, NAFTA and CAFTA. NAFTA has nothing to do for free trade. It's a pretense to lower tariffs, but it's a reason to go talk to the WTO to raise tariffs. We need free trade. That's very, very important. But you don't get that by world government."

[ ] d. Clinton, Obama, and McCain voted yes.

6. Who said:

"The ultimate goal is not simply a superhighway, but an integrated North American Union--complete with a currency, a cross-national bureaucracy, and virtually borderless travel within the Union. Like the European Union, a North American Union would represent another step toward the abolition of national sovereignty altogether."

[ ] g. g. Mike Gravel (Libertarian)

7. Who said:

"It is absolutely critical that we engaged in trade, but it has to be viewed not just through the lens of Wall Street, but also Main Street, which means we've got strong labor standards and strong environmental standards and safety standards, so we don't have toys being shipped in the US with lead paint on them. There are also opportunities in our economy around creating a green economy. We send $1 billion to foreign countries every day because of our addiction to foreign oil. For us to move rapidly to cap greenhouse gases, generate billions of dollars that we can reinvest in solar and wind and biodiesel that can put people back to work. How do we get it done? The changes are only going to come about if we're able to form a working coalition for change. It has to be a priority for whoever the next president is to be able to overcome the dominance of the special interests in Washington, to bring about the kinds of economic changes that I'm talking about."

8. Who said:

"China agreed to lower tariff rates to levels commensurate with the industrialized members of WTO instead of the higher levels employed by developing countries. This would have reduced tariffs on agricultural goods 40%. China’s entry into the WTO is in our national interest. Their accession would bind China to WTO’s dispute resolution procedures. WTO rulings have overwhelmingly supported the US position in the past, to the great benefit of American businesses and families."

[ ] c. Clinton and Obama voted yes, McCain voted no.

10. Who said:

"Congress subsidizes these big megafarms and hurts family farmers oftentimes in the process. And we've got to cap those subsidies so that we don't have continued concentration of agriculture in the hands of a few large agribusiness interests. But, on the trade issue generally, we're not going to suddenly cordon off America from the world. Globalization is here, and I don't think Americans are afraid to compete. And we have the goods and the services and the skills and the innovation to compete anywhere in the world. But what we've got to make absolutely certain of is that, in that competition, we are hard bargainers."

[ ] a. a. Barack Obama (Democrat)

[ ] b. b. Hillary Clinton (Democrat)

[ ] c. c. John McCain (Republican)

[ ] d. d. Ralph Nader (Independent)

[ ] e. e. Ron Paul (Republican)

[ ] f. f. Cynthia McKinney (Green Party)

[ ] g. g. Mike Gravel (Libertarian)

11. Who said:

"There's no doubt that NAFTA needs to be amended. I've already said I would contact the president of Mexico and the prime minister of Canada to make sure that labor agreements are enforceable. But I did want to just go back briefly to the issue of trade and human rights that you had mentioned. We have to stand for human rights, and that should be part of the trade equation."

[ ] a. a. Barack Obama (Democrat)

[ ] b. b. Hillary Clinton (Democrat)

[ ] c. c. John McCain (Republican)

[ ] d. d. Ralph Nader (Independent)

[ ] e. e. Ron Paul (Republican)

[ ] f. f. Cynthia McKinney (Green Party)

[ ] g. g. Mike Gravel (Libertarian)

12. Who said:

" I believe in smart trade. Pro-American trade. Trade that has labor and environmental standards, that's not a race to the bottom but tries to lift up not only American workers but also workers around the world. It's important that we enforce the agreements we have. That's why I've called for a trade prosecutor, to make sure that we do enforce them."

[ ] a. a. Barack Obama (Democrat)

[ ] b. b. Hillary Clinton (Democrat)

[ ] c. c. John McCain (Republican)

[ ] d. d. Ralph Nader (Independent)

[ ] e. e. Ron Paul (Republican)

[ ] f. f. Cynthia McKinney (Green Party)

[ ] g. g. Mike Gravel (Libertarian)

13. Who said:

"Corporate managed trade-mis-named free trade-is draining our country's competitiveness, as U.S. corporations take their factories and jobs abroad to authoritarian or dictatorial nations, especially China. Imagine modern capital equipment, and 50¢ an hour for workers who are making things for the U.S. market, without fair labor standards, pollution controls and other standards companies here have to comply with."

[ ] a. a. Barack Obama (Democrat)

[ ] b. b. Hillary Clinton (Democrat)

[ ] d. d. Ralph Nader (Independent)

[ ] e. e. Ron Paul (Republican)

[ ] f. f. Cynthia McKinney (Green Party)

[ ] g. g. Mike Gravel (Libertarian)

14. Who said:

"People ask me, am I a free trader or a fair trader? I want to be a smart, pro-American trader. And that means we look for ways to maximize the impact of what we're trying to export and quit being taken advantage of by other countries."

[ ] a. a. Barack Obama (Democrat)

[ ] b. b. Hillary Clinton (Democrat)

[ ] c. c. John McCain (Republican)

[ ] d. d. Ralph Nader (Independent)

[ ] e. e. Ron Paul (Republican)

[ ] f. f. Cynthia McKinney (Green Party)

[ ] g. g. Mike Gravel (Libertarian)

15. Who said:

"The American farmer is the most productive and efficient farmer in the world. He or she can compete anywhere in the world as long as we open the markets to those products. Isolationism and protectionism doesn’t work. We should not subsidize ethanol or sugar or any other crop, because then that hurts the American consumer. But I will lower the barriers to products coming into the US in return for any nation that will lower their barriers to US products, particularly our magnificent and wonderful agricultural products."

[ ] a. a. Barack Obama (Democrat)

[ ] b. b. Hillary Clinton (Democrat)

[ ] c. c. John McCain (Republican)

[ ] d. d. Ralph Nader (Independent)

[ ] e. e. Ron Paul (Republican)

[ ] f. f. Cynthia McKinney (Green Party)

[ ] g. g. Mike Gravel (Libertarian)

16. Who said:

"Trade relations with the US should be conditioned on the protection of worker rights, human rights and religious rights. If Congress gives China permanent MFN status, the US will lose the best leverage we have to influence China to enact those rights and protections."

[ ] a. a. Barack Obama (Democrat)

[ ] b. b. Hillary Clinton (Democrat)

[ ] c. c. John McCain (Republican)

[ ] d. d. Ralph Nader (Independent)

[ ] e. e. Ron Paul (Republican)

[ ] f. f. Cynthia McKinney (Green Party)

[ ] g. g. Mike Gravel (Libertarian)

17. Who said:

"We have to put a stop to these "free trade" agreements, and quickly. After 14 years of NAFTA it is absolutely clear that unemployment in the US has risen as a result of this treaty. We are losing jobs--especially jobs with living wages and benefits--to all these "free trade" agreements, be it NAFTA, CAFTA, the Caribbean FTA, the US-Peru FTA, you name it. The American workers are not benefiting from these agreements. Their jobs and communities are being destroyed."

[ ] a. a. Barack Obama (Democrat)

[ ] b. b. Hillary Clinton (Democrat)

[ ] c. c. John McCain (Republican)

[ ] d. d. Ralph Nader (Independent)

[ ] e. e. Ron Paul (Republican)

[ ] f. f. Cynthia McKinney (Green Party)

[ ] g. g. Mike Gravel (Libertarian)

18. Who said:

"As regular beneficiaries of double standards, big business executives and lobbyists, it seems, are without a sense of irony. How do the corporate proponents of international trade agreements designed to promote misnamed ‘free trade’ explain their simultaneous support for marketing subsidies? If it is only on the grounds that “other countries do the same thing.” Perhaps they should turn their multinational lobbying prowess to eliminating other countries’ export assistance programs."

[ ] a. a. Barack Obama (Democrat)

[ ] b. b. Hillary Clinton (Democrat)

[ ] c. c. John McCain (Republican)

[ ] d. d. Ralph Nader (Independent)

[ ] e. e. Ron Paul (Republican)

[ ] f. f. Cynthia McKinney (Green Party)

[ ] g. g. Mike Gravel (Libertarian)

[ ] b. Clinton and McCain voted yes. Obama didn't vote.

[ ] c. Clinton voted yes, McCain voted no, and Obama did not vote.

[ ] d. Clinton voted no, McCain voted yes, and Obama did not vote.

20. Who said:

"I'm a student of history. Every time the United States has become protectionist and listened to the siren song that you're hearing partially on this stage tonight, we've paid a very heavy price. The Smoot-Hawley Tariff Acts in the 1930s were direct contributors to World War II. It sounds like a lot of fun to bash China and others, but free trade has been the engine of our economy. Free trade should be the continuing principle that guides this nation's economy."

[ ] a. a. Barack Obama (Democrat)

[ ] b. b. Hillary Clinton (Democrat)

[ ] c. c. John McCain (Republican)

[ ] d. d. Ralph Nader (Independent)

[ ] f. f. Cynthia McKinney (Green Party)

[ ] g. g. Mike Gravel (Libertarian)
