FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
When: 10:00 AM. Thursday July 27, 2006
Where: In front of the Dominican Consulate, 1501 Broadway between 43rd & 44th
Who: Senate candidate Jonathan Tasini, NY CISPES.
What: Press conference marking the one year anniversary since Congress passed the Dominican Republic-Central America Free Trade Agreement (DR CAFTA) with testimony from the Dominican Republic, Colombia, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Honduras, Mexico & the US on CAFTA's effects.
FAIR TRADE, NOT FREE TRADE, SAID SENATE CANDIDATE TASINI
NEW YORK, NY – Senate Candidate Jonathan Tasini will speak at a press conference in front of the Dominican Consulate on Thursday morning organized by a coalition of groups critical of the Dominican Republic Central American Free Trade Agreement (DR-CAFTA). Thursday marks the one-year anniversary that DR-CAFTA was signed into law.
"The DR-CAFTA was yet another so-called ‘free trade’ agreement that is impoverishing people around the world," Tasini said.
"If I am elected to the U.S. Senate, I will fight against every so-called ‘free trade’ agreement because such agreements protect capital and investment but drive down wages for working people."Tasini believes we must have “fair trade” agreements that protect the interests of local communities: to provide environmental safeguards and ensure jobs that allow workers to support their families. "Unfortunately, Hillary Clinton supports so-called ‘free trade’,” Tasini said. “She has said she still believes NAFTA was a good thing and recently voted for the Oman Free Trade Agreement.
Although Clinton voted against DR CAFTA last year, I believe she did so because her vote was not needed to pass the deal and she was given a pass by the Democratic leadership.
In fact, she said it was one of the most difficult votes of her career. For me, it would have been an easy vote--and I would have lead the fight to defeat the agreement. On the question of protecting jobs and making sure trade deals are made for people not corporations, New Yorkers will have a clear choice in the Democratic primary."
