In less than two weeks China bids for a major U.S. oil corporation, the U.S.S.C. trashes 4th and 5th Amendment Private Property rights and now our faithful representatives top it off by raping us with their endorsements for CAFTA . .

Sen. Jeff Bingaman (news, bio, voting record), D-N.M., a key undecided vote on the Finance Committee, announced he was supporting the pact after the administration answered some of his concerns about the "serious lack of attention to the enforcement of worker rights."
He said he had pledges of an extra $40 million over four years to promote labor laws. The administration also told him it will spend $30 million over five years to help subsistence farmers in three Central American countries who might be displaced by an increase in U.S. agriculture imports.
