With so much at stake for working people in Iowa's upcoming,
first-in-the-nation caucuses on January 3rd, it a wonder more presidential
candidates haven't fully released their plans for one of the most important
issues to caucus-goers: Fair Trade & Keeping America Strong in the Global
Economy.  Come learn more about one of the crucial issues that will decide
not only the Iowa Caucuses, but the November 2008 general election.


~ Congressman Phil Hare (confirmed) tells about the fight for Fair Trade in
in the U.S. House of Representatives.

~ Keep the Holidays Lead-Free! - United Steelworkers demo their Test Kit to
keep you and yours safe from toxic toys and other potentially tainted
imports. The results may shock you!

~ Corporate Reform Forum of Progressive Action for the Common Good - Updates
on Corporate Reform and the Fight to Put People before Profit, Curb
Corporate Power and Retain Local Democracy.

~ Fair Trade 101 - The Iowa Fair Trade Campaign dissects the unfair
corporate trade deals like NAFTA and the WTO that send Iowa's good jobs
away, tip the balance against our family farmers, damage our environment and
maintain poverty in the developing world.  We'll see what we can do right
now to fight back for Fair Trade.
