INTERVIEW: Rep. Phil Hare On the Fight to Stop the NAFTA Expansion

Submitted by David Sirota on November 6, 2007 - 10:20am.

Democrats this week are expected to attempt to ram the Peru Free Trade Agreement through the House, in an inexplicable effort to expand the NAFTA trade model just months after they won Congress promising to reform America's trade policies. The move is causing great consternation among rank-and-file Democrats on Capitol Hill, as the Hill Newspaper reports this morning.

I was in Washington last week and had a chance to sit down and chat with Illinois Rep. Phil Hare (D), who is helping to lead the opposition to the NAFTA expansion. You can listen to excerpts of my interview with Hare here.
