Numbers for October: October 2009 Surface Trade with Canada and Mexico Fell 15.5 Percent from October 2008 Trade using surface transportation between the United States and its North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) partners Canada and Mexico was 15.5 percent lower in October 2009 than in October 2008, dropping to $61.4 billion, according to the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) of the U.S. Department of Transportation. BTS, a part of the Research and Innovative Technology Administration, reported that the value of U.S. surface transportation trade with Canada and Mexico rose 7.2 percent in October 2009 from September 2009. Month-to-month changes can be affected by seasonal variations and other factors. U.S.-Canada surface transportation trade totaled $36.3 billion in October, down 19.0 percent compared to October 2008. U.S. Mexico surface transportation trade totaled $25.1 billion in October, down 10.0 percent compared to October 2008. Surface transportation consists largely of freight movements by truck, rail and pipeline. About 88 percent of U.S. trade by value with Canada and Mexico moves on land.

Dear Senator Christopher Dodd, On behalf of young Democrats across the state of Connecticut, please accept our deepest thanks from The Connecticut Young Democrats for your years of tireless service. You have been our greatest champion in the highest halls of American political influence for over thirty years, and we cannot thank you enough for all of your work on behalf of the great state of Connecticut. We are appreciative for your countless hours of service as a statesman, humanitarian, and champion of Nutmeggers and all Americans. You fought to protect working families by authoring the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), and sought to defend the youth with the founding of the Senate Children's Caucus. You challenged the financial industry to change unethical and predatory practices through the Credit Card Accountability, Responsibility, and Disclosure Act of 2009, and you lead the fight for Health Care Reform after the unfortunate passing of the Senate's Lion, The Honorable Senator Ted Kennedy. Your years of public service and dedication to the greater good serves as a model for young people looking to make a lasting impact on Connecticut and across the nation. We are confident your diligent work ethic, influence, and commitment will persevere in your future endeavors. The Connecticut Young Democrats look forward to your continued championing of the ideals and principles of democracy. Sincerely The Connecticut Young Democrats |
