Oppose "NAFTA on steroids"

Bob McChesney writes:
The biggest showdown over corporate globalization since Seattle is poised to happen this week in Miami. At issue is the Free Trade Area of the Americas agreement, described as "NAFTA on steroids."

The FTAA will eliminate U.S. jobs and foster worker exploitation in
developing countries. It could override environmental protections and
media ownership limits as "trade violations." It could enable U.S. media corporations to eclipse local cultures across the hemisphere and threaten public broadcasting.

Tens of thousands will protest in Miami. Add your voice and let's make
it millions. Join them with our 'virtual demonstration'.

SIGN the Free Press petition to stop the FTAA. This petition will be
delivered to Congress and the U.S. Trade Representative before the FTAA meeting.
