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. Reportedly, LaTourette made a deal. He agreed
to vote for CAFTA in exchange for keeping U.S. Federal offices in region.
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).

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

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.)
