Rep Bob Ney (R) Ohio, under very strong pressure from the Bush administration, bravely voted against CAFTA as a tool of Globalization.
CAFTA is symbolic of a new kind of trade where the workers are the commodities and not the products. We praise Rep Bob Ney
for his courage.
The Cleveland Plain Dealer in a lead editorial praises Rep Steve LaTourette (R) Ohio for voting for CAFTA. Rep Steve
LaTourette is in denial about the vast poverty Free Trade has caused in this District and should be voted out of office.
July 2005, CAFTA unfair trade agreement passes by only 2 votes. Rep. Walter B Jones (R)NC, voted against it and says CAFTA
is ugly NAFTA. (Click on picture below to find out how NAFTA was passed).
2005 CAFTA passed - "CAFTA is NAFTA ugly" says
Rep Walter B Jones (R) NC - He voted against it.
15 Democrat in Congress voted for CAFTA, 27 Republicans in Congress voted against it. It won by only 2 votes.
Here are the Democrat Representatives who voted for it. They evidently do not care about the American workers and human
dignity in the workday.
They joined in the Pearl Harbor attack on the American Dream and workers in 2005......

(Both Senators in our State voted for it - Senator George Voinovich & Senator Mike DeWine )
Congressman Ron Paul, R TX, stated after the vote....
"Leaving aside the arguments for or against CAFTA itself, the process by which the bill passed should sicken every
American who believes in reprsentative government.....One of my colleages estimated that the price tag for buying the CAFTA
vote will be at least $50 billion dollars - that's $50 billion dollars to win a vote."
(It must always be remmembered too that it was a Democrat President - Clinton - and a Democrat controlled Congress that
passed NAFTA and GATT. GATT was passed in a lame duck session of Congress even though the 'Contract with America' Republicans
won control of the House. The question to ask is this. Why didn't President Clinton wait for the 'Contract with America Republicans'
to take office in January and let them vote on this critical issue that was anti-workers.)

Saying No! to Hillary and Bill. The second coming
of the Clintons has been postponed for a time. We still have time to revisit the Land of ' is ' where
everything seem to be reversed . It all depended on what your definition of ' is ' is...
While President Clinton proclaimed statistical prosperity, the U.S. was still going through the most
massive dislocation of jobs in history with millions losing their jobs. President Clinton steered the passing of the
unfair NAFTA and GATT trade agreements acting as one with Dole and Gingrich . It must be noted that Congress was
still controlled by the Democrats when this happened. Hillary backed her husband in all this and it is like putting
the fox in charge of the chicken coop if she becomes President. See http://tapsearch.com/tapartnews/id18.html or http://ezinearticles.com/?id=424760 rss feed for all ezine articles by Ray Tapajna , click http://ezinearticles.com/members/rss/Ray-Tapajna.xml

Workers have had no voice in the passing of the unfair CAFTA, NAFTA, GATT, WTO and Fast Track trade bills.
It is time to have a National Referendum on workers issues.
In the passing of GATT, Senator Dole said that it whole state seemed to be against the issue but he was going to vote
for it anyway. It seems our Political Leaders want to do things without the consent from those who voted them into office.
A National Referendum should be called because of this betrayal.
