Fair Traders Dominate Hill's 50 Most Beautiful People
July 26, 2007
As we reported last November, fair trade is winning big - and not just in the elections. The Hill just released its fourth-annual list of the 50 Most Beautiful People on Capitol Hill. Interestingly enough, 100% of the senators and the majority of the representatives on the list are fair traders, with the most beautiful person on Capitol Hill none other than Rep. Brad Ellsworth (D-Ind., picture to the right from the DCCC), who campaigned last year with a lot of fair trade love:
Bad trade agreements and corporate giveaways are just sweetheart deals for big corporations that don’t need them.
Other notable fair traders include Rep. Heath Shuler (D-N.C.) and Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio). According to the Hill,
"Sherrod Brown’s combination of rumpled cool and passionate progressivism makes him the unsung beauty of the upper chamber...how could a woman not fall for an workers’-rights advocate who wears a pin with a canary in a cage instead of the ubiquitous American flag?"
