Central American Free Trade Agreement

I see there are more articles on the Central American Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA) showing up in the print media. I take that to mean that the push is on to get the next big job give away passed and the supporters of free trade are afraid that United States citizens aren't going to take it very well. I read one article that said it took President Bush less than three months to push separate trade deals with Australia, Chile, Morocco and Singapore, but the biggest one CAFTA has been lingering for a year. I think they might have slipped some of those agreements past the public while everyone was reading about the War in Iraq. At one time it was predicted that Congress would vote on CAFTA in May, now supporters are saying the vote will come in late June or early July. Another article on CAFTA said that the agreement was patterned after the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). Well we have had plenty of time to see how well NAFTA worked now. It was a real good deal if you had a factory you wanted to move out of the country so you could save money on the cost of labor. What made the deal even better was the idea of shipping your product into the United States tariff free and selling it for more than you sold it for when it was made in the United States. You can get information on CAFTA, and how to stop it at, http://www.stopcafta.org/ . If CAFTA is passed we'll have six new free trade partners, so you can multiply the number of jobs lost to NAFTA by about five or six to get some kind of an idea about what CAFTA will cost the United States work force. I hope you will contact your elected officials and urge them to oppose CAFTA.

God Bless America, God Save The Republic.
