Okay, not giving up entirely...

Despite my previous post, below, I urge you to call your Congresscritters today and tell them to vote against the Central American Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA). You can reach the Capitol switchboard toll-free at 888-355-3588--just ask for the office of your representative, and tell whoever answers the phone that you're opposed to CAFTA. NAFTA has been a disasta for both US and Mexican workers and the environment (it probably sucks in Canada, too, but I know less about that). It's what Clinton should have been impeached for. "Free trade" is just one of the many ways the wealthy few in all countries use to further their stranglehold on the wealth of the planet.
