I just got this email today from Dick Armey. Feel free to post it as an article if you would like.

You're Invited! Strategy Call Tomorrow July 28 with Dick Armey and Rep. Patrick McHenry Dear Syncro, August will be a critical month in the fight for lower taxes, less government, and more freedom! During the next month, Congress will be on August Recess, which means that your U.S. Senators and Representative will be home holding town hall meetings and listening sessions to discuss important issues. These issues will most likely come to a head in September, which is why we’re inviting you to take part in a strategy conference call with me, Dick Armey, to coordinate activities during this crucial month . Tomorrow, Thursday, July 28th at 1:00 pm eastern time, FreedomWorks and I will be holding a special, by-invitation-only conference call to discuss our strategy for the August Congressional Recess, specifically ramping up pressure on members of Congress on behalf of critical issues that will be moving in September. And as a special part of this call, Congressman Patrick McHenry (NC-10th), a member of the Republican Study Committee and a leader on issues like Social Security reform with personal accounts, will be on hand to let us know the latest developments on the top issues facing the 109th Congress from a true, “insider’s” perspective. What: Strategy Briefing from FreedomWorks Chairman Dick Armey and Special Guest, Rep. Patrick McHenry When: Thursday, July 28th at 1:00 pm EDT Call-in Information: Dial 1-888-203-7667 and ask to be placed into the FreedomWorks Conference Call, confirmation number: 4446307. IMPORTANT: Space is limited! Please try and call in about 15 minutes prior to the scheduled call start to reserve your spot. I would like to cordially invite you to take part in this call and learn how you can be a part of this critical nationwide effort to promote economic freedom. All participants will be sent a FreedomWorks August Congressional Recess Action Kit that contains talking points, sample questions for legislators, congressional feedback forms, and other important information on our top issues moving in Congress right now: 1) Reforming Social Security through personal accounts 2) Supporting strict medical criteria for asbestos lawsuits, and rejecting Senator Arlen Specter’s trust fund proposal 3) Repealing the Death Tax once and for all 4) Reforming local franchise laws so Americans can choose their cable TV Because these important issues are likely to be at the top of Congress’ agenda come September, groups on the Left like the AARP and organized labor are sure to show up in force to oppose them. That’s why it’s critical that dedicated activists like you join FreedomWorks, myself, and Rep. McHenry for this exclusive opportunity. If you have any questions, please call or email Adam Nicholson at 1-888-564-6273 or anicholson@freedomworks.org. And tomorrow, please call-in and learn what you can do over the August Recess to fight for freedom! Sincerely, Dick Armey FreedomWorks FreedomWorks Homepage © 2005 FreedomWorks. All Rights Reserved.

Yeah, NAFTA's been such a domestic economic growth driver in Mexico, it's nice to see they don't need or want to enter the U.S. illegally to find work anymore... /sarc

As a result of NAFTA, for example, the average family of four saves up to $2,000 a year, according to the U.S. Trade Representative. That's a kind of a national pay raise

Yes now you can save 2000 a year, because you lost your job that paid 16 dollars an hour and now have two that pay 7!

Oh and I always thought that the constitution said something about the senate ratifying treaties. I guess this is just an agreement, ok.

The T word. Treaty .... or is it

Treason.
