For years, China has been spitting at American manufacturers and workers, running up our trade deficit and making it impossible for American manufacturers to compete. By manipulating the value of their currency to illegally subsidize their export industries, China is killing U.S. industry and destroying U.S. Jobs.
Some members of Congress are ready to take action to stop China’s rogue behavior. Make sure your member of Congress is one of them:
Earlier this year, the Obama Administration took the high road, politely asking the Asian giant to allow its currency value to float up naturally on international markets. They said they would. They did not.
Bipartisan groups of lawmakers in the U.S. House and Senate have proposed legislation that would force the U.S. Treasury Department to even the score and to call China out for what it is: a currency manipulator and an international outlaw.
Congress will begin debating this legislation today. Make sure your member of Congress knows that you think it is time to pass the Currency Reform for Fair Trade Act and let American manufacturing compete on a level playing field.
