The process of negotiating, ratifying, and implementing so-called "free" trade agreements like the CAFTA is out of control, and the time has come to say "enough is enough!" Congress and all elected officials must demand a new approach, and candidates for Congress should be required to make their positions on trade clear and unambiguous so that people in the United States can make their choices accordingly.

Tell the State Department Not to Strongarm Nicaragua's Elections!

Friends,

On April 5, 2006, US Ambassador Paul Trivelli sent a letter to all non-Sandinista Nicaraguan political parties offering to fund primaries in order to choose one presidential candidate to represent all of them. This statement is an affront to these parties, who have already selected their presidential candidates and none have requested multiparty primaries. In a statement published in the news daily La Prensa, Trivelli stated that uniting the democratic forces of this country would be better for the future of Nicaragua.
