Flanked by a group of Republican senators, Hispanic business leaders Wednesday announced a grass-roots effort to convince the House to pass the Colombia free trade agreement.
The Hispanic business groups plan to launch a series of public service advertisements and urge their members and related Hispanic organizations such as faith-based groups, to call, write and e-mail their members of Congress — with copies to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi — demanding a vote on the trade agreement, said Jose Nino, co-chairman of the Hispanic Alliance for Prosperity Institute.
The House voted 224 to 195 last month to put off consideration of the trade pact until Pelosi decides the time is right to bring it to the floor. Pelosi has said she wants the Bush administration to address U.S. economic issues first.”*
