WASHINGTON â€â€

U.S. sugar companies can't compete

[quote]The "it" is a free trade agreement being negotiated this week in Great Falls, Mont. â€â€

Somebody in Congress needs to tighten the purse strings on Bush. Why in the hell is Congress allowing this maniac to write blank checks and negiotate trade pacts all by himself? Who gave him that authority? What is the point of having a democracy if 1. the people aren't allowed to be heard and 2. if there are no checks and balances? What our government is doing to our rights is downright treason? We aren't being allowed to have a say in this and that's just BS.

This president is selling us out and he couldn't care less because it's not like he ever has to work any of these jobs. Kick these elitiest out of power. If we don't do it by 2006 then we will lose our country. This congress is flat out gutless to allow Bush to go willy, nilly and do whatever he wants.

Bush can write a blank for 40 billion to Africa and not one Congressman raises an objection, let alone puts it to a vote. Unbelievable.

Bush can negiotate these trade pacts and Congress puts it to a vote without even as much as a debate on this. I bet most of these yahoos didn't even so much as read a page of the agreement with CAFTA, just went with whatever Bush wanted.

Good Info Jose!!

That law clearly needs to be repealed!!

Apparently they gave it to Bush One...then it expired....then within 2 year's in Office, the Plan is back on and in High Gear, don't we see??

Apparently, the US Senate is the key player here. Don't we already know? They approve CAFTA despite majority opposition in the US.

Interesting, isn't it?

How few it takes to end a nation when the populace is alseep!!

Wake Up America!!

It's time to rock n roll and kick some Globbie Butt!!
