CAFTA passes Senate, we need your help to defeat CAFTA in the House of Representatives!
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.
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.

Can 190 Democrats, 40 Republicans, in the House be swayed ?
Can 190 Democrats, 40 Republicans, in the House be swayed ?
Those 190 Democrats and 40 Republicans have announced a NO vote or are undecided.
190 + 40 = 230
With only 218 the CAFTA bill will be killed by the House of Representatives.
So the president has to persuade 13 Representatives to change sides.
Can they be moved to vote YES for CAFTA ??
The vote in the House will be after July 11, so the President of the United States has a lot of time to work on those that are undecided or that can be swayed even if they have announced a NO vote for CAFTA.
