NO to CAFTA - Central American Free Trade Agreement
San Francisco Bay Area groups demonstrated at House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi's office in the Federal Building in San Francisco May 26th urging Congress not to pass CAFTA.
Two days later, May 28th, when President Bush signed the agreement, she stated her opposition:
"The countries of Central America have inadequate, poorly-enforced labor and environmental laws that do not follow international standards. As such, enforcement in these areas must be written into CAFTA rather than just asking the countries to police themselves."
CAFTA must be ratified by majority vote of both houses before it would go into effect.
