CPA hosting CO-Sen Candidate Andrew Romanoff

CPA Alert:

CPA Board Member, Tom Neppl, to Host Colorado Senate Candidate Andrew Romanoff

CPA board member Tom Neppl Owner/President of Springs Fabrication (Colorado Springs, CO) is hosting Andrew Romanoff today at his plant.  Romanoff, a Democrat, is ex-speaker of the Colorado House and challenging incumbent Democrat Michael Bennet in the Colorado primaries.

The event starts at 11a mdt.

Here is Romanoff's press statement about the event, excerpted:

Romanoff will be speaking at 11:00am at Springs Fabrication, a company whose success story has been chronicled and admired. It is also a story that other American companies will find hard to replicate if our trade deficit is not turned around swiftly. China's defiant manipulation of its currency is a big step in the wrong direction, creating conditions that diminish our ability to compete. Profits enjoyed by the Chinese are funneled directly into the purchase of U.S. Treasury notes, a cycle with dire long-term implications. This issue demands immediate attention. Wednesday morning, Romanoff outlines his trade policy initiatives; he is the first candidate in the race to do so.
