Thanks for the post. I just called Trent Franks office (AZ-R) urging a "No" vote - he's listed as Undecided. I asked the staff member if they were getting many calls and he said yes and that most were negative. Maybe he's just telling me that, but if not, it's a positive sign.

Just as NAFTA and its cheap American corn knocked the Mexican campesinos out of the market (guess where they're going?), CAFTA will unleash a new flood of equally desperate Central Americans.

During the El Salvadoe war when people were fleeing north, the Mexicans let them through with the proviso "Keep on going - America is that way". Here comes deja vu all over again.
