It opens the way for foreign industry to manage services that have been traditionally managed by the state," he said.

Like building and managing our highway system, as in the trans texas corridor?

I'm with Ron Paul.

Free trade-yes!
Free trade agreements-no!

The FTAA intends to bring every country in the Western Hemisphere under one free-trade umbrella -- possibly to the point of a common currency, the Amero, similar to the European Union’s Euro.

"Ameros" for everyone in the "new America". I can't wait.

We are now one of the largest Spanish-speaking nations in the world. We're a major source of Latin music, journalism and culture.

Just go to Miami, or San Antonio, Los Angeles, Chicago or West New York, New Jersey ... and close your eyes and listen. You could just as easily be in Santo Domingo or Santiago, or San Miguel de Allende.

For years our nation has debated this change -- some have praised it and others have resented it. By nominating me, my party has made a choice to welcome the new America.

All CAFTA countries have ratified the agreement with the exception of Costa Rica, El Salvador being the first in December 2004 and Nicaragua the most recent in September 2005.

Interesting, Costa Rica is the most peaceful, least corrupt country in the area, while El Salvador has history of oligarchical opression and brutal assasinations.

Or the "Super-Slab" here in Colorado?

CAFTA-DR’s troubles have invigorated hope among opponents that the trade agreement could be derailed.

Not. A. Chance.

The United States’ Trade Capacity Building policy gives financial aid to countries to align them with free trade agreements.

Yep... STEAL our money from OUR families and give it to some turd world a-hole.... so GOVERNMENT and BUSINESS can have 'free trade'!

The only was to 'equalize' the world is to PULL UP the lower economic class by DRAGGING DOWN the upper economic class.

People with brain cells recognize it as SOCIALISM!

God forbid we privatize tollway operation! It's socialism!

The City of Chicago announced it "closed" the concession sale of the Chicago Skyway tollroad this morning after it received $1,830 million by wire transfer. It says a 99-year lease is now in effect giving the Cintra-Macquarie consortium rights to operate the tollway.

OH MY GOD! A consortium of Spaniards and Aussies has taken over a patch of pavement! To the barricades!

"U.S. corporations want strict fines and penalties in place before they set up their businesses there,"

-----

Over $1.14 billion in already approved loans in support of CAFTA’s reform agenda. Loans include financing for roads, ports, electricity, customs modernization, reductions in costs of doing business, rural development, strengthening governance and institutions.

Everyone knows businesses need US taxpayer funded infrastructure before they set up shop in a foreign country...Why don't we build them a nice sports stadium while we're at it...South Americans love Baseball and Soccer.

Anyone who disagrees with CAFTA is on the same side as CISPES! The slimebuckets who made Ronald Reagan's life hell. CAFTA is Reagan's Plan for the hemisphere and we honor Ronald Reagan by getting it through as fast as we can.

CAFTA, NAFTA, TRASHTA, GATT, FTAA, WTO, UN.

All are alliances which are not Constitutional for the united states of America to be tangled in.

And let's kill NAFTA while we're at it. George Bush and the politicians in DC can't wait to redistribute America's wealth (what a laugh we don't have any) to the rest of the world through these treasonous treaties.

America is borrowing money by the trillions to finance Bush's New World Order. We can't pay any of the money we owe because our enemies here in America are impoverishing millions of Americans by job outsourcing, and the insourcing illegal Mexicans. Everyday millions of citzens are being forced out of their jobs, and companies are leaving America at a record pace. If anyone survives Bush's new world it will be the crooked politicians and greedy business people. The rest of us will be slaves.
