CAFTA is not free trade

My letter to my congressmen:

 

Please vote against CAFTA tomorrow.  I received my B.A. in economics and during my course of studies, I came to understand the theoretical and practical difficulties of preferential trade agreement.  It doesn't lead to free trade and therefore it doesn't provide the benefits promised by economic theory.  In addition, it has so many corporate provisions in it that would do nothing except increase profits for certain politically involved corporations at the expense of regular people throughout the Americas.  Therefore, it is not in the interest of the U.S. or the other countries involved.
