Coalition for a Prosperous America

March 10, 2010
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.

The following is the introduction to an NPR program, here&now, on which CPA's Chief Co-Chair, Brian O'Shaughnessy, was featured. The entire broadcast can be heard here.
More than 42,000 U.S. factories have closed since 2001, when China entered the World Trade Organization. But Richard McCormack says that’s not the only reason why so little is made here anymore. We speak with McCormack, who is editor of Manufacturing and Technology News. We also speak with Brian O’Shaughnessy, chairman of Revere Copper Products, who is also a leading voice in the Coalition for a Prosperous America, a business group trying to change U.S. international tax and trade policy.

Speaker Blasts Free Trade at R-CALF Convention
By Steve Miller
Rapid City Journal
Friday, January 22, 2010 10:00 pm
American manufacturers, workers and ag producers are getting clobbered by U.S. free trade policies, and they need to stick together in fighting for protection from unfair foreign competition.
That was the thrust of a speech delivered in Rapid City Friday by Brian O'Shaughnessy, chairman of Revere Copper Products, a company founded in 1801 by Paul Revere -- yes, that Paul Revere. O'Shaughnessy is also a board member of the Coalition for a Prosperous America, which advocates for trade policies that protect American industry.
