John McCain’s campaign today announced it will air a Spanish language radio ad in Florida plugging free trade with Latin America, specifically President Bush’s proposed C0lombia free trade agreement.

Former Florida Director of Tourism, Commerce and Economic Affairs Tony Villamil narrates the ad, saying (in Spanish), “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.”

McCain is in Colombia today and will travel to Mexico tomorrow, where he is expected to talk about free trade with government and business leaders. President Bush sent the Colombia free trade agreement to Congress in April; it has stalled amid opposition from House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.).
