The short explanation of this alert was:

 On his way out the door George W wants to kick Workers one more time.  The Administration is starting a huge push to get the Colombian "Free Trade" Agreemnt passed by Congress.  Please contact your Representative today and ask him or here to vote NO if the Colombian Trade Agreement comes to a vote.  Despite claims of "progress" Colombia stilll remains the most dangerous place in the world to be a Labor Leader.  It is also the eaisest place in the world to get away with murdering labor leaders.

After unsuccessful attempts to reach an agreement with congressional leaders to bring the Colombia Free Trade Agreement to a vote, the Bush Administration is now signaling that it will send the Free Trade Agreement to Congress over the Democrats' objections and demand a vote before Bush leaves office.  The Administration may formally send up the agreement after Congress returns from its Easter recess on March 31.  Under Fast Track rules, the House of Representatives would likely face and up or down vote on Colombia before the end of July.

Please take a moment to voice your concern over the Colombia Free Trade Agreement to your U.S. Senator and Congressperson
