ARLINGTON, VA -- U.S. Senator John McCain's presidential campaign today released a new Spanish radio ad, called "Colombia Trade." The ad features Tony Villamil, the ex-director of Tourism, Commerce and Economic Affairs of Florida, speaking about the importance of trade and John McCain's support for the Colombia Free Trade Agreement which will open an important foreign market to American goods and create jobs here at home. The radio ad will air in Florida.
English Script For "Colombia Trade" (Radio:60)
TONY VILLAMIL: This is Tony Villamil speaking, ex-director of Tourism, Commerce and Economic Affairs of Florida.
When it comes to a strong economy for our state, commercial trade with Latin America is crucial. Three quarters of Florida's exports are with Latin America, and the Colombian Free Trade Agreement would create even more opportunity.
In this election, there are some that talk about revising the Free Trade Agreement with Mexico and Canada and oppose the Agreement with Colombia. This would hurt our economic future.
Last year Florida's exports to Latin America reached almost $45 billion dollars. Colombia is Florida's third most important export market and this trade agreement would create almost 5,000 new jobs
John McCain supports the Colombian Agreement, knows about our alliances with our hemisphere and understands our economy grows thanks to trade.
Remember who stands for prosperity in Florida, our country and our hemisphere. His name is John McCain.
JOHN MCCAIN: I'm John McCain and I approve this message.
