We asked you to contact your representative and senators to urge them to vote no on these FTAs. Although we knew defeating these measures would be an uphill battle, it was important to begin building resistance to a series of similar initiatives that will come before Congress. On July 24th the FTAs with Chile (H.R. 2738) and Singapore (H.R. 2739) were approved in the House. The FTA with Chile was approved by a vote of 270 to 156 (Roll Call Vote 436). http://clerkweb.house.gov/cgi-bin/vote.exe?year=2003&rollnumber=436 The FTA with Singapore was approved by a vote of 272 to 155 (Roll Call Vote 432). Approval is expected in the Senate as early as today, but more likely on Monday, July 28th. http://clerkweb.house.gov/cgi-bin/vote.exe?year=2003&rollnumber=432 Thank you very much for your work in opposing these FTAs. However, much remains to be done. Even though it now appears that the Chilean and Singapore agreements are a "done deal," there are many other falsely-named free trade agreements in the negotiations pipeline, including Australia, Morocco, South African Customs Union, General Agreement on Trade in Services (GATS), and Central America Free Trade Area (CAFTA). These are all stepping-stones to the most dangerous of them all, the Free Trade Area of the Americas (FTAA). Recommendation: Please continue educating yourself, your fellow citizens, your representative, and your senators about the grave threats to our national sovereignty and our national prosperity posed by the GATS and FTAA agreements.
