taking back my time , and i thank the gentleman . 
he says that it is unfair . 
but we have had this trade agreement , we have been in the wto for 10 years . 
we have had a democratic president . 
we have had a republican president . 
if it is unfair , why is the president of the united states not going to the wto tomorrow ? 
why did bill clinton not go ? 
i do not want to be partisan here . 
why did neither of them go ? 
and they are not going to go . 
the issue here is that these trade agreements have been forced on congress , not forced , congress willfully did it , because of the power of big money . 
it is no secret . 
some of us who were here for nafta , some of us here for the china agreement , we know the millions and millions of dollars in campaign contributions and huge lobbying effort on the part of the large corporations . 
because the truth of the matter is that while unfettered free trade is a disaster for the middle class and working families of this country , it really does benefit the heads of large corporations . 
they are , in fact , doing very well . 
we see general electric , general motors moving to china . 
that is not a good thing for americans . 
let me conclude simply by saying , mr. speaker , let us send the president of the united states a message . 
let us say that our current trade policies are failing . 
let us stand up for working families around the country . 
let us pass this resolution . 
mr. speaker , i yield back the balance of my time .
