Dear friends,

Never thought international trade laws would make you laugh? Check this out:

It's a biting, two-minute movie called \"CAFTA -- The Trojan Calf.\" Its

message -- that the Central American Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA) has been

presented to Central America as a gift, but like the Trojan Horse, it's

really a vehicle for American corporations to secretly invade new markets.

It's an important story that will keep you smiling, and hopefully inspire

you to action. (Make sure you watch for the kicker at the end!)

After watching the movie you can join with thousands of others in

rejecting CAFTA by signing a full-page ad to appear in the NY Times the

first of June. Congress may vote on the agreement as early as July.

We hope you like the movie, and we encourage you to pass it along to your

family and friends.

Enjoy the show!
