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.

• House leaders project a vote on CAFTA next week (more precisely on July 27th). As reported in the Washington Post today, the administration concedes they still don't have enough votes to pass CAFTA. A sign of that shortfall is the fact that the House Ways and Means Committee has repeatedly delayed submitting its favorable committee report that would clear the way for a vote by the full House.
   

• However, do not be deceived. The Bush administration and its pro-CAFTA allies have been very busy on many fronts during the past couple months, building toward a CAFTA majority, vote by vote. Remember that in 1993 NAFTA was supposed to be in trouble, but still won handily. Furthermore, this administration has a record of winning the close votes.
   
• Still, the vote promises to be a real cliffhanger. Many of you have already helped keep CAFTA on the ropes. Now you must keep the pressure on your rep either to maintain his intention to vote no or to switch from yes to no.
   
• Last Friday, President Bush lobbied for CAFTA in the Carolinas yet appears to have come away with nothing. Grassroots anti-CAFTA pressure there has been intense. It needs to be just as intense in every congressional district.
   
• Our latest tool for impressing your rep that CAFTA must be defeated is "CAFTA Battle Rages in Congress," The New American, July 25, 2005 issue.  This hard-hitting article gives specific examples of how CAFTA threatens our independence by quoting directly from the CAFTA Agreement itself.
   

• See the July issue of STAY INFORMED, the STOP the FTAA Newsletter, for links to our earlier CAFTA alerts and our "Danger: CAFTA " video clip. See also "The War on the Border" video clip, which links the illegal immigration problem with CAFTA. You can forward the links to the video clips to your representative and his staff, as well as to others in your sphere of influence.
   
• Check the "What's Hot" section of STOPCAFTA.com regularly for the latest news on the CAFTA battle.

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!

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

I noticed that also.

Gee ... ya think it's a subversive plot and we'll all become citizens of the Dominican Republic next week?

[zbigreddogz]

Here is where we separete the Buchannanites from the Bushites.

I'm definately the latter.

Go CAFTA.

[Realism]

Gee ... ya think it's a subversive plot and we'll all become citizens of the Dominican Republic next week?

Nope... I'm worried about waking up and discovering the U.N. has voted to tax U.S. citizens directly.

America’s Descent Into the Third World

* * * *

"The President is merely the most important among a large number of public servants. He should be supported or opposed exactly to the degree which is warranted by his good conduct or bad conduct, his efficiency or inefficiency in rendering loyal, able, and disinterested service to the Nation as a whole. Therefore it is absolutely necessary that there should be full liberty to tell the truth about his acts, and this means that it is exactly necessary to blame him when he does wrong as to praise him when he does right. Any other attitude in an American citizen is both base and servile. To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public. Nothing but the truth should be spoken about him or any one else. But it is even more important to tell the truth, pleasant or unpleasant, about him than about any one else."

"Gee ... ya think it's a subversive plot and we'll all become citizens of the Dominican Republic next week?"

No, merely the next step in a long series of small incremental steps designed to do away with the nation-state and erase borders.

I used to laugh at this stuff.

I no longer find it amusing.

" ... I'm worried about waking up and discovering the U.N. has voted to tax U.S. citizens directly."

Okay.

I'm worried that John Bolton won't be appointed U.S. Ambassador to the un when the Congress adjourns, so I reckon we're even.

[Fawn]

They don't come to America JUST for the JOBS! WAKE UP!!!

[Happy2BMe]

WHO are THEY?

[jpsb]

My Rep Ron Paul is voting No! Have to go Ron Paul!

[zbigreddogz]

Oh please, posting this in response to my statement is the same sort of Dim logic that says your criticism is automatically right and worthy because it's in opposition to 'the man' or whatever. That's not a reason.

And besides, it wasn't so much praising Bush, as it was bashing Buchannan, who I think is a complete and utter moron.

Is There A Backbone In The House?

[gonewt]

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

BINGO.

This is the white elephant nobody wants to talk about. People need to wake up. This agreement is for the benefit of third world nations & multinational corporations. Period.

"separete the Buchannanites from the Bushites."

Americans from Globalist is more accurate.

Somehow it'll all be our fault for not towing the party line that brought them to where they will end up.

[SolidSupplySide]

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

I don't think you understand economics. Taxes are part of fiscal policy. The value of money is determined solely by monetary policy. There is nothing a tax can do to alter the value of a dollar.

[G.Mason]

I agrre that many things are no laughing matter, any longer.

The facts are that the inept Congress, elected to work for "we the people", are and have been, working for themselves.

We, for example, are at war and the enemy Democrat Party is aiding and abetting our enemies. Bear in mind that over 60,000,000 votes were cast for a enemy of the United States. Namely J.Effin Kerry.

You and others may worry about our sovereignty, and rightfully so, but I worry about our very survival.

[Happy2BMe]

History will record: "They did it to themselves . ."
