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. 

CAFTA is close to defeat, but the Bush administration and corporations who stand to profit are organizing an intense lobbying campaign. This week, a "mock mark up bill" is expected to be introduced in Congress.  Now is the time to act!
