Haven't seen this discussed--cause for hope?

"The Senate already approved CAFTA, 54-45. But because the U.S. constitution requires bills affecting revenues to start in the House, the Senate has to vote again. Supporters hope that can be quietly accomplished by unanimous consent without another full-fledged Senate debate."

Is anybody trying to sway Dems (or even Repubs) that voted for it the first time?

1. I sent a letter to Feinstein
Demanding she explain her vote, because I'm planning to vote for whatever Dem challenges her in the primaries.

3. agree on Feinstein..
I'm pretty fed-up with her "republican-lite' anti - worker BS. It would be great to get a proggressive in their.

2. That Would Be Great If It Is True
CAFTA will kill people in this country, while outsourcing slavery to other countries. How do the wealthy live with themselves knowing full well what this means.
