A switch of only two votes would have protected working families from the ravages of the next NAFTA-like trade deal. So, when the next wave of lay-offs come, just remember who twisted the knife in your back as you slept last Saturday morning:The 25 Democrats Who Voted for Fast Track Ken Bentsen (TX), Jane Harman (CA)*, James Moran (VA), Brad Carson (OK), Baron Hill (IN), Ike Skelton (MO), Susan Davis (CA), Ruben Hinojosa (TX), Adam Smith (WA)*, Jim Davis (FL), William Jefferson (LA), Vic Snyder (AR), Norm Dicks (WA), Chris John (LA), Charles Stenholm (TX), Calvin Dooley (CA), Richard Larsen (WA)*, John Tanner (TN), Bob Etheridge (NC), Ken Lucas (KY), Ellen Tauscher (CA)*, Harold Ford (TN)*, James Matheson (UT), Ralph Hall (TX), Dennis Moore (KS).*The five Democrats in bold switched their votes. They voted against an earlier Fast Track bill. On Saturday morning, they voted in favor of Fast Track bill. Their votes provided President Bush with his narrow margin of victory. And their votes could cost you your job.REGISTER, VOTE and REMEMBER ELECTION DAY, NOVEMBER 5th
