How can any worker or small business person vote for Hillary ? She is using her reverse stand on NAFTA as a spin. Free trade has a much longer history and she was there during these times. She was there during the most massive dislocation of jobs in U.S. history while millions were losing their jobs and small businesses and she did nothing. She said nothing. Here is one account from a published letter in the Cleveland Plain Dealer....
Hillary Clinton's convenient turnabout on NAFTA and free trade
Friday, March 07, 2008
Cleveland Plain Dealer Letters Editorial Page
Voters are shopping their jobs away at places like Wal-Mart and now are vot ing their jobs away by supporting Hillary Clinton. Here is the real timeline behind free trade:
1956 - U.S. government starts moving factories outside the United States.
1970 - 120 factories moved from the United States to Mexico.
1980 - 400 maquiladora factories in Mexico.
1980s - While Hillary Clinton was on the Board of Directors of Wal-Mart, about 1,000 U.S. factories were moved to Mexico.
1992 - 2,000 maquiladora factories in Mexico.
1994 - NAFTA is passed by a Democrat-controlled Congress and signed by Democratic President Bill Clinton; number of factories moved to Mexico doubles to more than 4,000; reports tell of "dirty manufacturing" in Mexico causing health problems and birth defects.
1995 - President Clinton rushes $20 billion to save the Mexican economy. Then he uses other means to rush even more money to Mexico. ( President asked Congress for $40 billion but they gave him just $20 billion instead- he said he would use other means to get the extra money to bail out the Mexican peso )
1996 - Hillary says NAFTA is good for everyone.
2000 - Hillary, at an economic forum in Switzerland, praises business efforts in supporting NAFTA.
None of the above stopped the flood of Mexican workers to the United States seeking economic survival.
Now, after all of that, Hillary says free trade has to be tweaked at bit.

And note the - Open Letter to all Candidates here at http://www.phillyfuture.org/node/5885 and pass it on.
Who said we had to compete like this in a global economic arena?
How did the definition of trade and trade practices change to moving production, factories and jobs from place to place anywhere in the world from trading products? Why are workers being "commoditized" this way?

What Are You Talking About??
You are accusing the working class of voting for Hillary Clinton?
Hillary Clinton, who chaired many Children's organizations and even launched some of those while Bill was governor of Arkansas including: Arkansas Advocates for Children and Families, Arkansas Children's Hospital, and also her organizing a task force to heighten educational standards in schools?
Hillary Clinton, who led the American Bar Association's Commission on Women in the Profession, which played a pioneering role in raising awareness of issues like sexual harassment and equal pay?
Hillary Clinton, who spent her entire time as current First Lady fighting for universal health care and STILL does after nearly ten years?
Hillary Clinton, who comes from a middle class background herself yet still fights for the middle class after "making it to the top?"
Are we talking about the same Hillary Clinton here??
Or are you too young to remember all that she has done??
"She was there during the most massive dislocation of jobs in U.S. history while millions were losing their jobs and small businesses" What are you referring to here?
By the way, when the media discovers that your opponent -Obama in her case- has been involved in shady business dealings, its usually smart to bring it up in your campaign speeches. So I'm sorry you don't like hearing her talk about Obama and NAFTA, but that's the way politics work --mudslinging has been much worse than this in the past.
Another thing, Hillary
Another thing,
Hillary thought "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" was good when Bill passed it and now says it's time for a change in gay rights, now she thinks it's time for a change in NAFTA --politicians do have the right to change their mind every decade or so, don't they?
Clinton Fraud Case to get Trial Date April 25th
The Clinton’s are named defendants in a Civil Fraud Case connected to Campaign Finance irregularities and have not disclosed the appeal of the case. There will be a trial date set at a hearing on April 25th, just 3 days after the key Pennsylvania Primary for the Fraud Case Paul v. Clinton in the Los Angeles Superior Court. Plaintiff says he will call Gov Rendell will be a witness in the case. He probably should not be raising funds for Michigan until he has answered questions about this 2000 Clinton Fundraiser. From what I understand, this case began when prior to Sen. Clinton’s 2000 New York Senate campaign and also raised donations for Pres. Clinton’s Library.
We don’t know the Clinton’s side of the story because they have not disclosed this. But Peter Paul tells his side of the story on Video.

The GOP has utilized the services of a 527 Citizen’s United to produce a 90 Minute Movie they are already showing to defeat her in the Fall if she wins the nomination. The GOP uses her Fraud Case in their movie as one of many reasons she should not be President.
This is the Movie that the Citizens United has created for the GOP to for the fall.
