Build on the CAFTA Loss to STOP the FTAA!                          By Joseph A. Lypowy  7/28/05  

   The House of Representatives passed CAFTA early Thursday morning by 217-215 votes. I am deeply disappointed by this loss, but not discouraged. From the beginning, CAFTA opponents recognized that the pro-CAFTA forces would wield enormous pressure on individual congressmen to obtain a favorable vote. Although rarely mentioned in the news, the reason for the intense pro-CAFTA pressure is that globalists regard CAFTA as an important stepping stone to their even more dangerous Free Trade Area of the Americas (FTAA).
   I am proud to announce that Representative Chris Smith voted against CAFTA and has proved once again that he is on the right side of the issues and on the side of a soveriegn America and deserves re-election to Congress the next time. On the other hand, I am extremely disapointed that Jim Saxton voted for CAFTA, the extension of NAFTA and a stepping stone to World Government. In my opinion anyone who voted for CAFTA is an American traitor and is unfit to serve in public office.
   This hard-fought CAFTA battle, even in defeat, has greatly improved the chances for defeating the FTAA. The closeness and fierceness of the battle points to the growing opposition to these "free trade" pacts. The momentum has actually swung our way. Furthermore, the CAFTA battle, by serving as a dress rehearsal for the FTAA battle, revealed the pressure tactics of the pro-CAFTA forces, and provided valuable extra time for informing Americans about the dangers of the FTAA and mobilizing them to oppose it. As we gear up for the FTAA battle, remember that these "free trade" pacts are part of the power elite's long range agenda of subordinating the U.S. to a world government. The NAFTA, WTO, CAFTA, and FTAA stepping stones to first regional, then world government are clearly following the European Union model; and in fact, the same internationalist power elite designed and developed both the FTAA and the EU..
