You delivered. We received thousands of stories expressing everyday concerns, fears, outrage and hope — the hope that Congress will protect jobs and strike down the trio of unfair trade deals with Korea, Colombia and Panama.
We made sure that your Representatives received your messages. This week we delivered your pink slips.
It’s only the first step in the beginning of this fall’s fight to stop Bush’s three job-killing pacts that, heartbreakingly, President Obama is now pushing.
Keep making a difference this fall. Contact your Representative and take action with us.
Last week, President Obama made a speech to Congress on his emergency job creation plan. There were some useful proposals to create jobs by investing in our country’s infrastructure, schools and communities.
But then, perversely, President Obama in the same speech also included a call for Congress to pass the leftover Bush trade agreements with Korea, Colombia and Panama. These are deals that official government studies show will increase the U.S. trade deficit! Studies project that over 200,000 additional U.S. manufacturing jobs would be lost under these continuations of the disastrous NAFTA model.
It’s up to all of us to make sure our members of Congress understand that the trade deals are JOBS KILLERS — the antithesis of what Americans need as they struggle in this dreadful economy — and that we demand they vote down these three job-killing trade pacts.
Take a stand. Call your Representative and organize with us before these three job-killing NAFTA expansion deals come to Congress.
We’re preparing for the biggest fight this autumn. As the Obama administration prepares to submit the flawed trade agreements with Korea, Colombia and Panama, we need to up the pressure on Congress.
Stay connected through our Action Center as we continue to provide all the necessary tools to reach out to your Representatives. And volunteer with us to make a difference in America’s trade policy.
Stop the NAFTA expansion — do MORE with our team.
Thanks for all you do,
