Received some notes from a CPAC observer today who said that some Liberals are speaking out againt the Canada-Colombia FTA.
This afternoon, he sent a message reading "Ok, they're in adjournment proceedings. Somehow, we got through another day of debate in parliament without a vote. Let's get on those phones, folks."
The call is out again, urgently, for people to call Liberal MPs and ask them NOT to speak out against the Canada-Colombia FTA.
Below, I re-paste a previous post on this issue, including phone numbers of strategic Liberals. The time to call is now.

Below is contact info for the Liberal leader, some influential Liberal MPs, Liberal members of the trade committee, and some Liberal MPs who narrowly won their ridings in the last election. Please send them messages urging them to oppose the CCFTA.
Ask your friends and faimly to do likewise.

Dominion Weblogs compiles the weblogs of Dominion editors and writers. The topics discussed are wide-ranging, but Canadian Foreign Policy, grassroots politics, and independent media are chief among them.
Colombia FTA
The Colombian FTA only rewards the criminal actions of the Colombian government against workers and farmers and must be voted down.
