The U.S.-Colombia Free Trade Agreement (CFTA) will benefit the people of both America and Colombia and must be passed by Congress without political posturing.
Recently, President Bush sent a letter to Congress to implement an American free trade agreement with Colombia. The pact would help create more jobs in the United States by opening Colombian markets to our agricultural, manufactured products and services. The agreement would also help Colombia improve its economy and strengthen its democracy.
The agreement would allow the United States to export numerous products to Colombia duty-free and allow Colombian exports to continue to enter the United States without tariffs. Currently, American products exported to Colombia have tariffs of 35 percent for non-agricultural goods and even higher for agricultural products. The CFTA will make American products as accessible to Colombians as Colombian products are to America by eliminating tariffs on more than 80 percent of American exports of industrial and consumer goods.

Sorry, George, but it doesn’t look like the rubes are going to eat the dog food again.
Did you actually READ this Columbia Free Trade Agreement? It’s over 1000 pages long. Why are all these trade deals being shoved down our throats without any sort of analysis by the media?
George, stop being a GOP shill, come join the Constitution Party!

Governor, Great job standing strong for Freedom on this one! We’re glad to see that Sen. McCain is on board as well. This is so important to our nation and the free market.
