* TAKE ACTION - No to CAFTA *

TAKE ACTION NOW TO SAVE OUR JOBS
By: http://www.actspeak.com/

There are so many reasons to reject the CAFTA (Central American Free Trade Agreement) treaty. With no enforcement provisions to prevent exploitation of foreign workers it would force those of us who still have jobs to compete against the lowest wage standard in the world. Without environmental protections it would force what industries we have not lost to pollute our own country to keep their costs as low as the worst offenders overseas.

The agreement even signs on to restrictions on the availability of simple vitamins and minerals that might prevent illness and disease, a provision pushed by prescription drug industry interests to put us even more at their mercy.

This will be a VERY CLOSE VOTE in Congress, so by speaking out you can make a real difference in the outcome of this critical policy decision.

Will we slide further down the NAFTA slope of outsourcing and wage depression in our country, or will we take the kind of stand that will inspire more of our fellow constituents to elect the right people next time?

Please submit the form below, whether or not you have time to add a personal word of your own, but MAKE YOUR VOICE HEARD NOW.
