I waited to post this until I had a copy of the radio spot that this coalition of ag groups for CAFTA is running this week on rural radio stations.

AGRICULTURE COALITION FOR CAFTA-DR TO LAUNCH RADIO SPOT ON RURAL STATIONS

WASHINGTON, D.C.—June 22, 2005— The Agriculture Coalition for CAFTA-DR will launch radio spots next week to be broadcast on rural stations across the United States highlighting the critical need for farmers and ranchers to contact their members of Congress and urge them to support the Free Trade Agreement with Central America and the Dominican Republic (CAFTA-DR). The audio spot explains that CAFTA-DR offers increased export market access for U.S. agricultural products ultimately resulting in long-term growth for U.S. agriculture. “To reap such benefits, the recently negotiated agreement must be passed by Congress and implemented now,” states the advertisement. “A vote against CAFTA-DR is a vote against agriculture.”
