Congressional Hispanic Caucus Votes to Oppose CAFTA
May 26, 2005
Tuesday night the Congressional Hispanic Caucus voted 14 to 1 to oppose CAFTA making them the latest group to come out against CAFTA. While some in the Caucus support CAFTA, including two Democrats, the Caucus is officially opposed to CAFTA, echoing the concerns raised by many latinos regarding CAFTA. The Congressional Hispanic Caucus publicly announced their opposition earlier today, shortly after Ohio Representative Sherrod Brown announced that there are currently 230 votes against CAFTA in the House--a number large enough to defeat the agreement.
