One DLCer who came to his senses on CAFTA

[Geek_Girl]

I'm not a big fan of Harold Ford but at least he had the sense to vote No on CAFTA.

The fact that only 15 democrats voted for CAFTA shows that if we put enough pressure on are democratic represent ives we can make our representatives support the peoples interest over the interest of corporations. Keep the pressure on and maybe one day the DLC will cease to exist.

“President Clinton, who supported these trade agreements, at least had an investment agenda that accompanied his trade policies. We have neither now. And the challenge before this Congress this evening is not whether we pass this trade bill in the interest of our friends in the financial services and in the computer and IP industries and entertainment industries. The question we have tonight is ‘what are we doing for that 11-year-old girl?’ Sure, we can produce movies and talent here but will we be producing it here? Sure, we can make things and have the capacity to do it. But will we be making things here? I ask my colleagues, how do we answer that 11-year-old granddaughter in Crossville, Tennessee?
