| Call your representatives and senators to oppose DR-CAFTA |
|
Today the United States senate is going to take up and probably vote on DR-CAFTA. If you haven't call your senator and told him/her to oppose this, you might want to get on that.
I expect this to pass the senate, it's the house of representatives where it's going to be real close. Much arm-twisting going on there. It looks like Pelosi might have the votes to defeat it, she said recently she had about 190 democrats opposed to DR-CAFTA and about 40+ republicans were going to vote against it, it will only take 218 votes to defeat DR-CAFTA.
No one can predict right now wheather or not DR-CAFTA will pass the house, but I don't want our textile jobs to leave this country or our sugar industry to get flooded out of business. Call you house represenative today.

(from the those legislators who are acting as Party Whips).
This is a defining issue.
