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.

It didn't have any of the actively anti-environmental provisions of this [CAFTA] agreement.

All we want is for them to be included in the collective agreement.

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

None of Congressman Fitzpatrick's statements about why he voted to support CAFTA make sense. His constituents deserve a straight answer even if it is an admission that he does not have the backbone to stand up to what everyone knows was extreme pressure by the Republican leadership to do as they ordered rather than what Fitzpatrick believed or promised.
