Editor's Note: This is another in WND's series of one-on-one interviews with candidates for the office of president. Today Chuck Baldwin, the Constitution Party candidate, warns the biggest danger to the U.S. is located in Washington, D.C.

The Constitution Party candidate for president says the biggest danger America faces is from Washington, D.C., not Tehran or Baghdad, and that he would jump at the opportunity to cut it down to size.

"I really believe that our nation is fast becoming a nation that does not respect the freedoms and liberties that this country was founded upon," Chuck Baldwin told WND in an exclusive one-on-one interview today. "George Bush's Patriot Act ... in essence eviscerated the Fourth Amendment and did serious damage to other amendments in the Bill of Rights. I do believe that this burgeoning North American Union that Dr. Corsi has written so much about ... is a real threat to our national sovereignty and our national independence."
----------------------------

"I do believe that the determination to merge America into a regionalized government with Mexico and Canada is very real," he continued. "And ... I think it's progressing at a very fast pace.

---------------------------------

"Ronald Reagan said a nation without boundaries is not a nation, and he's exactly right," Baldwin said, "and that's what's happening. The boundaries between our three countires are being blurred almost to the point they don't exist any more. And I believe it's deliberate, and I will put a stop to it.

"The longer we occupy Iraq, the more the enemy uses that occupation as a recruiting tool for those that would hurt us," he said. "I think our presence in Iraq is the biggest asset that al-Qaida and whatever other terrorists are over there have and they are using those troops to their advantage," he said.

On the home front, the No. 1 project would be to close the borders to the U.S.

"We can do it with a fence or we can do it without a fence. We have troops, National Guard troops, over in the Middle East that are protecting the borders of Iraq and other countries, by the way, yet we're not protecting our own borders," he said. "Whether we do it with a fence or not, we must close that border."

--------------------------
He said the nation's economy needs work, but nothing will be solved by printing money and throwing it around.

"It's an immediate feel-good approach, but it does nothing in the long run to solve the problem," he said. The costs of the war in Iraq need to be eliminated, and America needs to restore its energy production.

"I would dismantle the Department of Energy. I would get the government out of it," he said. "We need to get businesses pumping more oil again. We've got to open up the oil wells that we already know are there, and we've got to drill for new oil."
