Take A Few Minutes to Call, Fax and E-mail Your Representative in
Congress!
Demand a NO Vote on OFTA!
CALL YOUR REP:
Call the U.S. Capitol at (202) 224-3121 and ask to be connected to
your Representative's office.
When you reach your representative's office, ask to speak to the
person who handles trade issues.
Give your name, say that you are a constituent, and say that you want
your rep to vote "no" on OFTA, an inhumane, anti-animal trade agreement.
Here's a sample of what you can say during your call:
Hi, my name is _______________. I live
in______(your city)___ and I'm calling to urge Representative
___________ to vote AGAINST the Oman Free Trade Agreement (OFTA). I'm
concerned about the agreement has weak environmental provisions and
unlimited investor protections. This could destroy habitats, threaten
endangered species, and weaken animal protection laws. OFTA mandates no
minimum environmental standards or enforcement of major environmental
and species protection agreements. It also allows corporations to
challenge US government decisions on federal natural resource contracts.
This is unacceptable, and I strongly urge Representative ____________ to
vote AGAINST the bill.
What is Rep.___________________'s
position on OFTA? Would you email me a statement of Rep __________'s
position?
Thank you.
