The Pennsylvania Chapter of the Coalition for a Prosperous America (CPA) thanked Congressman Jim Gerlach (R-PA-06) for agreeing to co-sponsor the Currency Reform for Fair Trade Act of 2009 (H.R. 2378). Members of the Pennsylvania Chapter of CPA who participated in the CPA legislative fly in last week asked Congressman Gerlach to co-sponsor this important legislation. CPA received notification yesterday that the Congressman agreed to do so.
"Currency manipulation is a major problem for the U.S. economy," said Joe McGlynn, CPA PA Chapter steering committee member and Vice President of Campbell Fittings in Boyertown, PA. "Some foreign countries, particularly in Asia, peg their currency to the dollar at an unfairly low rate. Many people don't realize the impact, which is a huge tariff on U.S. exports and a major subsidy to their export sales to the United States."

The Colorado Chapter of the Coalition for a Prosperous America (CPA) helped persuade both Houses of the Colorado State Legislature to adopt a resolution supporting new trade policies to balance America's trade deficit. The resolution called change in policies that have handicapped American manufacturing and agricultural producers and resulted in massive job losses and stagnant wages.
"We were stunned by the overwhelming support given by our Colorado political leadership for common sense policies to reduce the U.S. trade deficit," said Tom Neppl, CPA board member and President of Springs Fabrication, Inc. in Colorado Springs. "America cannot recover from the Great Recession unless we balance our trade deficit so that we no longer consume more than we produce."
The resolution was adopted unanimously in the state Senate on March 4, 2010 one day after overwhelming passage in the state House of Representatives. The local chapter of the National Federation of Independent Businesses was instrumental in assisting the process.
