Congress should vote no on CAFTA

Editor:

As a supporter of U.S. Rep. Ruben Hinojosa, I want to publicly urge this dedicated public servant to do what is right for the Valley and vote against the Central American Free Trade Agreement.

I have no doubt that Rep. Hinojosa is hearing arguments from all sides of this proposed trade deal. But, all rhetoric aside, one thing is clear and that is that CAFTA is not in the best interest of Valley farmers and ranchers. CAFTA would be particularly destructive to a critical part of our local agricultural economy â€â€
