I have work to do in 2008 with mine.

Who do you think is better acquainted with all the facts of the issue and has more of an impact on a Congressman's vote, a constituent or President Bush? CAFTA was going to pass and no representative's vote could be spared. Doolittle may have some constituents disagree, but you should try to look on this as him "taking one for the team" so representatives in more threatened districts didn't have to vote "yes" in his place.

Or would you rather we had no CAFTA and had Speaker Pelosi?

Very interesting I see that DEM William Jefferson voted yes, Who represents very Democractic New Orleans voted Yes, while REPUB Bobby Jindal voted no. Be interested to know why. Both districts have heavy union influence though the Baton Rouge District that Jindal represents might have more.

I would expect that my congressman represent his constituents and not lobbyists or political arm twisting.

I disagree with the President on his stand regarding trade, immigration and borders. I do not support CAFTA-DR.
