…in Columbia. This is outrageous behavior by Nancy and The Gang. First Pelosi refused to meet with the Pro-American President of Colombia Alvaro Uribe. Now they are denying free trade to 46 million citizens who want it.

Congress Holds Colombia Hostage
The U.S. House Committee on Ways and Means, in a statement by Democrats Nancy Pelosi, Charles Rangel and Sander Levin declared the Democratic Party would deny free trade indefinitely to 46 million Colombians over a few dozen unsolved murders of union activists in the last year.
The trade pact Colombia negotiated in good faith with the U.S. and which it needs to sustain its dramatic economic recovery from the ruins of a 44-year war must wait until Democrats arbitrarily decide they’re satisfied with the violence level. This gives every anti-free trade Colombian thug an incentive to keep killing.
