The Sierra Club is in the fight against CAFTA and with the U.S. House expected to act soon on CAFTA Sierra Club chapters nationwide are actively lobbying against the Central American Free Trade Agreement. Brett Hulsey is with a Midwestern chapter of the Sierra Club. Hulsey believes a turning point is being reached on trade issues.

[Brett Hulsey ] : "Even Republicans are starting to realize that these trade agreements ship our jobs overseas, they lower our environmental standards and they threaten our health and safety."

Hulsey says that CAFTA could be used to attack U.S. environmental laws, both nationally and at the local level.
