CAFTA VOTE as soon as Tuesday, July 12!
Tell Congresswoman Susan Davis:
Vote NO on CAFTA!
On June 30th, the U.S. Senate approved the Central American Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA) by the smallest margin for a trade agreement in modern history. Now CAFTA goes to the House, which could vote as early as July 12th and must vote by July 28th, barring a rules change.
IT’S NOW OR NEVER!!!
If you live in San Diego, please call Congresswoman Susan Davis and urge her to vote NO on CAFTA.

Washington D.C. Office, 202-225-2040
If you live outside San Diego, call toll free 866-340-9281. This number connects you to the Capitol Switchboard. Ask to be connected to the Congressional office of your House Representative and urge them to vote NO on CAFTA.
The U.S. Trade Representative is calling CAFTA a “gateway to other agreements." Let’s close that gate, defend our communities from corporate globalization, and call for fair trade agreements that protect labor rights, health and the environment.
