Placing a letter to the editor is a great way to spread the word on the FTAA. Elected officials watch these letters closely as a sign of public opinion. Dear Editor: Trade deals such as NAFTA are placing our health and the environment at risk to promote the interests of global corporations.

I don't want that law challenged by some global corporation under some trade deal. Now President Bush wants to expand NAFTA on a fast track to the entire Western Hemisphere through a trade deal called the Free Trade Area of the Americas.
