CAFTA STATUS THREAD

[ALIPAC]

Ok troops,

Let's coordinate our efforts in this thread down to the wire to keep things simple. Im grabbing a quick snack, then sending out a mass email asking everyone to keep working the phones down to the final vote!

You can bet our opposition will be doing the same. Anyone gotten any estimates on when the vote may happen. It is now 6:30pm EST. Last I was told they said it could be as late as midnight.

OK, I will notify everyone on our e-mail updates list to monitor this thread for info. Every candidate in Congress that ALIPAC endorsed in 2004 has been notified of our stance. We are looking pretty good with the exception being Congresswoman Sue Myrick.

Here is the count.

Sue Myrick Y
Mike Fitzpatrick ?
Virginia Foxx N but could use some thanks
Patrick McHenry N
Joe Wilson (R-SC) N
Walter Jones N
