House, Senate Set To Hold Votes On FTAs On Oct. 12 Before Lee Visit

Oct 7, 2011 | Fair Trade

Here is what you can do in the next 5 days to Stop these FTAs:
1) Call your elected official and ask to speak to him/her directly. Speak for your organization-and speak for yourself. Make it uncomfortable and make it hard for them to vote Yes-especially with elections up and coming.

2) Send that LTE that you have been meaning to send, post on your website, facebook, twitter that this is happening and people can continue to use the AFL-CIO’s 1.800.718.1008 until the vote

3) Support Occupy Seattle and when you do-connect corporate greed to US trade policy. Corporations are writing our trade policies and our leaders are rubber-stamping them-this is the heart of the struggle.
