Colorado Democratic Party - CDP Week in Review

CDP Week in Review

From Our Congressional Delegation

Congressman Mark Udall's uncertainties of CAFTA

July 29, 2005

Congressman Mark Udall has many reservations regarding the specifics of CAFTA despite his encouragement in actively shaping free trade. He has decided to vote against the Dominican Republic-Central America-United States Fee Trade Agreement Implementation Act (DR-CAFTA). This is due to the inability of the current administration to implement free, and more importantly, fair trade.

Congressman John T. Salazar defends local agricultural markets

July 29, 2005

Congressman John Salazar disagrees with any notion that CAFTA would be beneficial to farmers and ranchers. His vote against the agreement takes into account key agricultural sectors that would be highly susceptible to the loss of jobs.

Chief Deputy Whip Diana DeGette wants strong enforcement mechanisms in order to maintain free trade

Congresswoman Diana DeGette has decided to oppose CAFTA, due to the lack of labor protections and environmental standards. Even though she is a staunch proponent of free and fair trade, the White House's inability to incorporate key enforcement mechanisms, which would keep trade fair has led Rep. DeGette to oppose this agreement in its current form.

In the Press

Republicans are rejected by federal court

In a bold attempt to challenge Colorado's 2002 congressional redistricting map, the federal court rejected the Republican's final appeal to change the 7th Congressional District.

Udall and DeGette are nationally recognized for their commitment to the Hispanic community

The National Hispanic Leadership Agenda (NHLA) has acknowledged Congresswoman DeGette and Congressman Udall for their outstanding legislative record on issues of importance to the Hispanic communities. Their high rating is based on issues ranging from education, economic mobility, and workforce rights, etc.

Tom Tancredo is recognized for his careless radicalism

The people have spoken; Congressman Tom Tancredo is reckless and irresponsible. Hundreds of outraged Republicans, Democrats, and everyone in between demonstrated against the Congressman's idea to bomb Islamic Holy sites.
