On the recordJuly 24, 2003
One of things that we fought for is to protect the rights of the public, and this bill opens the door to further privatization and deregulation of vital human services, including health and water; and what that means is higher profits for corporations, higher rates and diminished services and limited access for more people. So I want to thank the gentlewoman for her leadership and how we have been able to work together in Cleveland to protect jobs. We know from our constituents that they need us here on the floor of the House making sure that we demand this these trade agreements not further cause loss of jobs and loss of power on the part of the people.
