"A coalition of 27 lawmakers from across the political spectrum is sponsoring a bill to withdraw the U.S. from the North American Free Trade Agreement in as little as six months.

Rep. Gene Taylor, D-Miss., has introduced H.R. 4759, "To provide for the withdrawal of the United States from the North American Free Trade Agreement." 

"NAFTA and similar free-trade agreements have resulted in a 29 percent decline in U.S. manufacturing employment since 1993," Taylor's office said in a statement. "NAFTA discourages investments in U.S. manufacturing facilities and accelerates the erosion of our industrial base." .........."

"........ "We're well aware of what he said during the campaign, and we want the things reviewed and looked at," Stupak said. "We think it's run its course. All the rosy predictions they had about NAFTA have fallen flat."

Stupak told the Saginaw News it would take 218 votes in the House and 51 votes in the Senate to overturn NAFTA. He also said it would take a supermajority of 60 Senate votes to bring it up for a decision.

"It's an uphill battle," he said. "No doubt about it."

Upon announcing the legislation, Taylor said, "Timing is everything in life, and it's the right time to pass this legislation. Proponents have had more than enough time to make this work. It didn't."
