Maine Delegates go to Washington, D.C.
to visit Snowe on Fair Trade Policy On
Thursday Nov. 6, members of the Maine Fair Trade Campaign (MFTC),
which includes the Sierra Club Maine Chapter, traveled to D.C. to meet
with Senator Snowe to ask her to co-sponsor the Trade Act. Senator Snowe is
considering co-sponsoring this important piece of legislation with Senator Brown
from Ohio, which requires the United States to review the failed
international trade agreements such as NAFTA and CAFTA and
would also set new standards for future agreements. These failed
agreements have threatened both the environment and human rights, and
have shifted many of Maine's critical industries oversees. The
Trade Act is a better way forward.

Senator Snowe has been an outspoken supporter of better trade
policies in the past, but has still not committed her support to this
very important bill. Please Call Senator Snowe today and ask her to co-sponsor the Trade Act!

Help Us "Green"
Our Communication System
The Maine Chapter is looking to
upgrade our communication system. This new software will help us reduce
the amount of paper we use and better enable us to keep our members and
activists better informed about important environmental issues in the
state.
Help us reach our fundraising goal
of $2000 to purchase this important tool by donating today. Even a
gift of $10 will put us one step closer to reducing the amount of paper
we use.
