 moving testimony to the damage free trade wreaks on ordinary 
 Americans.\nThe people have spoken. Will the powerful deign to listen?\n-- 
 Barbara Ehrenreich, author, Nickel and Dimed\n\nBefore our politicians sign 
 one more disastrous deal, they should all be\ntied down and forced to read 
 this extraordinary and important book.\n-- Naomi Klein, author, No 
 Logo\n\nFree Trade Is Not Free. NAFTA. The WTO. Trade agreements are 
 supposed to\nbenefit us all. Instead, in the decade since they've been in 
 effect, life\nhas become much worse for millions of working Americans. In 
 Shafted --\nworking people, family farmers and farmworkers, fishermen 
 and\nseamstresses - - describe the ruin free trade has brought to them, 
 their\nfamilies, and their towns. These aren't theorists; these are the 
 voices of\nexperience. And they're telling us, clearly and eloquently, that 
 it's time\nto stop the madness that enriches a few corporations at the cost 
 of justice,\nhuman rights, community, family, and the dignity of work and 
 of workers. On\nJune 12, 2003, a powerful delegation of resisters to this 
 model of\nglobalization courageously testified to members of Congress and 
 the American\npublic how they've fared under 'free trade.' Now they're 
 coming to the bay\narea. Contact Information: Christine Ahn,(510) 654 -
