Truckers' Trucking Forum/Message Board - The Premiere Truck Driver Forum

Politics Do Not Pass/Pass With Care. Today's truckers are far more educated and cognizant of the issues regarding politics due to the sharp increase in talk radio, and various trucking news media sources. Talk politics. Do truckers like politicians?

Change To Win Urges Congress To Reject Colombia Free Trade Agreement

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Change to Win released a print ad today demanding the United States Congress reject the Colombia Free Trade Agreement deal that the Bush administration is threatening to send to Congress in the coming weeks despite strong opposition.
“American workers are sick of job-destroying trade deals that benefit multinational corporations,” said Bruce Raynor, General President of UNITE HERE. “A trade deal with Colombia is particularly outrageous because workers seeking to form unions there face brutal oppression and even murder. We are proud to stand with human rights activists, religious groups, unions and workers in Colombia in opposing the U.S.-Colombia Free Trade Agreement.”
Colombia remains the most dangerous country in the world for union members. More than 2,200 workers have been murdered by Colombian death squads for trying to form unions since the 1980s, and there have been more than 400 murders since President Uribe took office five years ago. Yet the Colombian government has done nothing to effectively stop death squads from murdering workers for trying to form unions

I am for it..( to stop the deal) Most people don't even know about CAFTA (Central America Free Trade Act)

Just as NAFTA did it will be sending more of our jobs elsewhere..
While the American people get poorer and Large corporation get bigger..

If it was up to me All this Free trade stuff would be comming to a halt unless yo met the requirements.. And this would have to be done with thier own money not US aid.. cause I would be cutting all that as well..

Countries like Mexico would be in violation of NAFTA with the lack of success they have accomplished in the NAFTA guidelines.. Thus cutting the deal off..

America is in for serious trouble if the people of America do not wake up to the Large corporation sell out...

Just further proof that the POTUS with lowest approval rating in history is hell bent on sending the US down the toilet. Scrap CAFTA.

George W. Bush also had the highest approval rating ever of any President (92%).

How convenient you didn't mention that.

That must been shortly after the towers falling...

Sure isn't like that now...

Don't get me wrong I am for Bush but what is he thinking as of late? He is definitely doing American people badly with the continuance of forighn agreements, deals that make American jobs disappear...
