Begining July 21, Californians are asked to call Senator Boxer and
encourage her to vote no on the dangerous new GATT treaty headed for
ratification in congress.

Tell her:
I'm calling because I'm concerned about GATT.  I'm particularly worried
about GATT's effects on California environmental laws (such as recycling,
pesticides, Proposition 65 etc., Dolphin Protection, etc)

I know Senator Boxer has been a leader on environmental issues in the
past.  Well GATT is the biggest threat not only to our environmental
standards but to the sovereignty of California.  

This GATT would create an unelected world trade cop, the World Trade
Organization, with the legal power to challenge laws it determines are
"illegal trade barriers",  the European Union has already identified many
laws it plans to challenge.

Please tell Senator Boxer we want her to take a leadership role in
fighting this agreement.  Twenty years of hard won environmental standards
and consumer protection are at risk.

Thank you for your time.

Washington DC: 202-224-3553
