Groups: How to Spot a Fake- Another mention of Mr. William C. Lane
 
 




On Jun 19, 250 giant corporations from across the country
came together in the Ronald Reagan International Trade
Building in Washington DC to announce a new business
coalition, USTrade, that will work to push the Free Trade Area
of the Americas (FTAA), a new round of the WTO, and
especially FAST TRACK in the U.S. Congress. Both the Sierra
Student Coalition and our little birdie who infiltrated that
meeting and lifted these documents agree that we CANNOT let
those wealthy white men from USTrade win this fight! Don\'t let
them forget that we are living in a post-Seattle, post-Quebec
world - don\'t let them or Congress ignore our movement! We
beat Fast Track in \'97 and \'98.
Let\'s do it again.

Corporate FTAA Fast Track Coalition -Leaked Infor


FORWARD WIDELY! FORWARD TO FREE-TRADE/GLOBALIZATION LISTS!

June 19, 2001 over 250 giant corporations from across the country came together in
the Ronald Reagan International Trade Building in Washington DC to announce a new
business coalition, USTrade, that will work to push the Free Trade Area of the
Americas (FTAA), a new round of the WTO, and
especially FAST TRACK in the U.S. Congress. A preliminary analysis of those present
at the meeting indicates large numbers of wealthy Caucasian males wearing
expensive suits.

A Sierra Student Coalition operative, disguising himself as an elite, infiltrated the
meeting and emerged with important documents, including a
contact list with direct phone, fax, and emails for the 30 or so members of \"steering
committee\" of the coalition from groups like the American
Chemistry Council (chemical industry, also biotech), National Association of
Manufacturers, Coalition of Service Industries, and more.

The steering committee contact list as well as a list of all the corporations that are
members of USTrade is also pasted below.

While the Sierra Student Coalition offers this information to you only as a public
service, a little birdie has told us that this list could be used to send large numbers of
emails, faxes, and phone calls to these corporate free-traders. The little birdie thinks
that blasting faxes, emails, and phone calls to these people 9AM to 5PM EST the
WEEK OF JUNE 25, 2001 asking them about their true intentions with their trade
policies might
inconvenience them a whole lot.

USTrade is an enormous business coalition - almost as big as our movement is broad.
They\'re taking a page from our playbook in doing this. This is an unprecedented step
for business groups to take, but they know they will have to face us -the new
anti-globalization movement - in these fights to get what they want. But don\'t
underestimate this business coalition. They have
a lot of money and a lot of power on Capitol Hill.

They are pushing Fast Track hard, and the Fast Track situation is heating up. The
Republican leadership is pushing for a vote on Fast Track in the House of Reps. as
early as July. After you fax and email these corporate free-traders, FAX AND CALL
YOUR REPRESENTATIVE IN CONGRESS. Fast Track would vastly increase the
odds that Bush will be able to ram a new WTO round and the FTAA through Congress -
it too must be stopped!

Tell your REPRESENTATIVE TO OPPOSE FREE TRADE and the FAST TRACK
PROPOSAL PUT FORTH BY REP.CRANE!

Call the Capitol switchboard at 202.224.3121,
ask to be connected to your representative (look it up at www.congress.org), ask to
speak with the aide that deals with trade, and TELL THEM
UNEQUIVOCABLY THAT THEY SHOULD REJECT FAST
TRACK!!!

Also set up a meeting or protest during the July 4 recess when your member of
Congress is in their
home district!

Both the Sierra Student Coalition and the little birdie agree that we CANNOT let those
wealthy white men from USTrade win this fight! Don\'t let them forget that we are living
in a post-Seattle, post-Quebec world - don\'t let them or Congress ignore our
movement! We beat Fast Track in \'97 and \'98.
Let\'s do it again.

Go to www.ssc.org for more info on Fast Track.

USTrade Coalition
Steering Committee Contact List

Economy\" campaign.
Contact: 1.888.JOIN.SSC / www.ssc.org

The majority of these numbers appear to be direct. USTrade is a new business
coalition formed in order to facilitate corporate efforts to push Fast Track, the FTAA,
and a new round of the WTO. One interesting note - the McGraw-Hill Companies,
whose CEO chaired their press conference, is a educational materials corporation that
is presumably into trade for the
potential privatization of education.

Have fun.
