CAFTA Can Be Stopped! Please Keep the Pressure on Your Rep!
 
"So far, administration officials concede they still do not have the votes to pass CAFTA in the House."
                                                                                               --- Washington Post, July 21, 2005

This is it! Our nation's independence and our personal freedom hang in the balance.

So it's come to this. Many of you have it in your power to make the difference in this critically important CAFTA vote.

Let's win this one for ourselves and our families!

Frankly I find CAFTA to be a good idea. Unless of course we all want to continue the influx of illegal workers. Most think the pie is only so big. I say Let's bake a bigger pie.

CAFTA will increase the flow of illegal workers. They will be the low skilled labor displaced by the CAFTA. This will happened because the CAFTA reinforces our obligations to the WTO and their Mode 4 rule. Part of all trade agreements these days are when the "rich" countries agree to take unskilled labor from "poor" countries via illegal immigration in order to get consent from the government's of the poor countries to pass FDI and "free trade" laws that favor the transnational corporations.

When you vote yes on CAFTA or any "free trade" agreement you are voting yes on illegal immigration.

A tax cut will do you a lot of good with nowhere to spend it.

What position do you think America will assume tonight? One of kicking the globalists out the door, or one of grabbing its ankles? I'm predicting the latter.

I don't understand your point. Are you suggesting that high taxes and prosperity go hand in hand?

"Last Friday, President Bush lobbied for CAFTA in the Carolinas yet appears to have come away with nothing."

Bush went to the Carolinas to push a "free" trade treaty? Rove is a genius!

Free Trade is a lot better than pouring aid money down the sink. We're better off if these countries develop economically. Plus free trade raises all boats.

I'm suggesting your tax cut won't be worth the paper it is written on if the money backing it up is worthless.

Okay. That's the John Birch Society view.

Here is the Hertitage Foundation view.

What will all the CAFTA supporters do five years from now when their golden calf suddenly dies at their feet and their vacation homes are confiscated by the "American Travellers" for the common good of "North America?"

Hmmmm...not a single word debunking the "loss of sovereignty" myth.

Why do you suppose that is?

Couldn't be because both NAFTA and CAFTA dilute and erode U.S. sovereignty, now could it?

Once you call a "tax" a "tariff", you can get all kinds of "conservatives" to embrace them.
