Fair Trade, Not So-Called Free Trade: Stop the Peru Free Trade Agreement

Dear Organic Consumers,

It never ends.  With the election of a Democratic Congress, we all expected some major policy shifts.  Well, it's still the same old same old. This week Congress is expected to approve the latest bad legislation--the Peru Free Trade Agreement (FTA) http://capwiz.com/pdamerica/issues/bills/?bill=10449266&size=full

If we act now http://capwiz.com/pdamerica/callalert/index.tt?alertid=10491961&PROCESS =Call+Now , we can stop this flawed legislation, or at least let members of Congress know that we're watching and won't forget on Election Day next year.

Read this article, Stop the Peru FTA http://pdamerica.org/articles/news/2007-10-30-11-51-57-news.php for more information.

Please, call your representative http://capwiz.com/pdamerica/callalert/index.tt?alertid=10491961&PROCESS =Call+Now , today!

Yours in the movement, Frances Anderson

P.S. Check out this new organization PDA has endorsed: Progressive Challenge 2008 http://capwiz.com/pdamerica/callalert/index.tt?alertid=10491961&PROCESS =Call+Now .  Fair trade is one of the planks of their platform.

Progressive Democrats of America is a grassroots PAC that works both inside the Democratic Party and outside in movements for peace and justice. Our goal: Extend the victory of Nov. 2006 into a permanent, progressive majority. PDA's advisory board includes seven members of Congress and activist leaders such as Tom Hayden, Medea Benjamin, Cindy Sheehan and Rev. Lennox Yearwood.
