Seante Votes To Block Meixcan Trucks

A U.S. Senate vote on Tuesday to block Mexican trucks from traveling in OUR country is welcome. The Senate voted to block funding for a Bush administration test progam that will let long-haul Mexican trucks cross the U.S. and drive on our highways. The prgram s part of the 1994 NAFTA agreement.

This move is especially welcome since a Mexican truck loaded with dynamite exploded Monday.
29 people were killed when the long-haul truck hit a pickup truck. Do we really want unregulated Mexican trucks on our highways?

The Bush administration responded by saying it had "enough safeguards in placeto insure a safe and secure program." Hello..is anyone out there? W and his cronies have got to be kidding!
