ABSTRACT

On the day of the climactic vote on the North American Free Trade Agreement, which he had vociferously opposed, he told the New York Times that United We Stand America could evolve into a third party if the two parties did not change direction and become more responsive to average voters. "But that's up to the membership, not me," he insisted. "I have no personal goals. I would prefer a strong, responsive two-party system. That's my dream."2
