By casting the deciding votes on CAFTA, Utah's congressmen have made themselves responsible for any future attacks on U.S. gambling regulations that CAFTA makes possible.

Rep. Towns' alarming flip-flop on CAFTA was a shock. The Rep. Towns of November 2004 – who made a congressional floor speech passionately criticizing CAFTA – sounded like a leader of the global justice movement, so clear was his analysis of the problems with the NAFTA model of trade agreements. This leaves his constituents to angrily ask how he could have provided one of the deciding votes that passed CAFTA.

There's nothing to it. The actual text of the [CAFTA] agreement is what's binding and the text of the agreement is a catastrophe.

Forget the Valentine's Day chocolates and roses, the handful of congressional lawmakers whose startling votes for CAFTA pushed this slimy deal through Congress appear to have received campaign cash as a reward for the corporate dangerous liaisons, and many of the voters whose hearts they broke are considering permanent separations from these congressional betrayers of their interests.

It's a model that's very useful for a very narrow set of U.S. interests.

We look at these agreements as Trojan horses, where whole other agendas are slipped in under the cover of free trade. It's a real threat to democratic, accountable governance.

This does not bode well -- ha, ha, ha! -- for Bush's trade agenda. What a tragedy. You don't take out a very effective player like Portman, who has good relations in Congress and on the international scene, when this whole agenda stands on the precipice, without knowing what that means.

If your growth rate is achieved by the privatization of a huge national asset, it looks good on paper, but if people lose out who depend on that employment, the quality of life declines.

[During back-room negotiations over NAFTA,] everything was up for sale, ... The president was the one signing the checks, but Daley was the one negotiating the amounts.

History has been made in Seattle, as the allegedly irresistible forces of corporate economic globalization were stopped in their tracks.

They need to go back into the existing agreement and repair the rules that limit a country's ability to have environmental safety and human rights laws.

That a member of Congress who is supposed to represent one of the U.S. states hardest hit by NAFTA job loss, and whose constituents care deeply about poverty in Central America, would become a deciding vote to expand NAFTA to six more nations is unimaginable, given the damage the NAFTA model has proven to cause to U.S. working people and Mexico's poor.

By acquiring Costa Rican gaming operations, giant European firms now have a platform from which to launch attacks on federal, state and local gambling restrictions in an effort to secure an even greater share of the diverse and lucrative U.S. gambling market. This is a threat that was brought to the attention of all three Utah congressmen.

It is very clear that if this document is going to determine the future course of the WTO, the majority of people in the world would be worse off.

There's nothing to it, ... The actual text of the [CAFTA] agreement is what's binding and the text of the agreement is a catastrophe.
