URGENT!! SENATE Needs To Be Contacted re: CAFTA/Codex
TWO: Then PLEASE, call or email your senators and ask them to work on removing the CODEX compliance clause from CAFTA in committee. Actually, the whole thing getting stuck in committee forever would be my first choice, but if that's not an option, then let's at least get CODEX out of there and fight that issue on it's on de-merits.

CAFTA is a bad deal all around, for human beings, a great deal for multi-national corporations, and now they have made it worse, if that's possible, by including CODEX in it!!!
Tell your Representative to say NO! to CAFTA and CODEX!!

Dear Friend,
A decade ago, the U.S. Congress traded away our economic future with back-room deals and passed the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). Since then over 700,000 jobs have been lost in the U.S. and 8 million more people in Mexico are living in poverty. The proposed Central America Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA) will extend this nightmare to 6 more nations. To boot, they have the Globalists are pulling a fast one (again.) They've put the CODEX standardization issue into the CAFTA (Central American Free Trade Agreement). Without your political action NOW, we will lose what we have been fighting for for the last ten years...YOUR FREEDOM TO ACCESS OUR CREATOR'S NATURAL BOUNTY FOR HEALTHCARE AND HEALING!!!
In the Senate, CAFTA passed in a very close 54-45 vote on June 30th. WE HAVE NOT LOST! This was the closest Senate vote on a trade pact since NAFTA. The bill still has to pass the House, where opposition to CAFTA is much stronger. We have always known that we will have to defeat CAFTA in the House, not the Senate.
CAFTA came out of the House Ways and Means Committee on Thursday, in a 24-11 vote. The House is expected to vote on
CAFTA sometime after the week-long 4th of July recess. Representatives should be in their districts until Congress
begins again on July 11th. Please take some time during the next week to educate your representatives about what you think about
CAFTA! Now is the time to act!
