Stop CAFTA, and more US job outsourcing

[Guest guest]

There are so many reasons to reject the CAFTA treaty. With no

enforcement provisions to prevent exploitation of foreign workers

it would force those of us who still have jobs to compete against

the lowest wage standard in the world. Without environmental

protections it would force what industries we have not lost

to pollute our own country to keep their costs as low as the worst

offenders overseas. The agreement even signs on to restrictions

..on the availability of simple vitamins and minerals that might

prevent illness and disease, a provision pushed by prescription

drug industry interests to put us even more at their mercy.

 

This will be a VERY CLOSE VOTE in Congress. Just as we did as to

Bolton, you can make a real difference in the outcome of this

critical policy decision. Will we slide further down the NAFTA

slope of outsourcing and wage depression in our country, or will

we take the kind of stand that will inspire more of our fellow

constituents to elect the right people next time? Please submit

the form below, whether or not you have time to add a personal

word of your own, but MAKE YOUR VOICE HEARD NOW.
