I don't think there is enough time to make it happen for May 12, but we might want to ask the World Affairs Council to sponsor a debate on CAFTA/trade issues this summer or fall. Especially with trade playing such a major role in the elections they might be interested in putting something together that featured multiple perspectives on CAFTA, trade issues, or trade rules impact on Maine. It could make for an interesting forum and a great way to reframe the debate and push a fair trade message. The corporate free trade arguments are not hard to take apart.
Just a thought.
Cheers, matt
