U.S. NEEDS WAR ON FREE TRADE, NOT DRUGS

Who are our real enemies? Those who bring drugs into our communities, or
the one who export our jobs?

According to "Lou Dobbs' Money Line," more than 250 major corporations have
left the United States, leaving many of our brothers and sisters to
struggle to make ends meet.

"Can We Maintain?," a study by Ronald R. Pollina, Ph.D.. published in
Economic Development Journal, notes that U.S. manufacturing jobs have
decreased by more than 2.6 million since mid 2000.

A study done by Adam Jones in the Journal of Human Rights describes the
"War on Drugs" as causing an influx in non-violent crimes and unnecessary
incarceration. "Criminal activity is, after all, socially defined," says Jones.

Which leads me to believe there is a positive connection between the
"exporting of jobs" or loss of jobs, to the amount of unemployment in our
large cities, with a positive connection to selling illegal drugs.

Let's end the "War on Drugs" and begin a war against free trade and
outsourcing, which foster such terrible economic conditions and cause us to
believe in unnecessary punishment. Our real enemies are those who export
jobs; it's time for a change.
