DETAILS:       Sen. Sherrod was a leading force in the development of the Trade Reform, Accountability, Development and Employment (TRADE) Act of 2008.  The bill (S. 3083; also introduced in the House by Rep. Michael Michaud as H.R. 6180) requires a review of existing trade pacts, including the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and the World Trade Organization (WTO).  It strengthens Congressional oversight, establishes negotiating objectives for the future, and deals with often neglected concerns such as product safety. Sen. Brown’s legislative assistant, Chris Slevin, will discuss the fair trade agenda for 2009 in the new Congress in the light of the results of this year’s election results.

Legislative Fly-In

CPA will hold its Second Annual Legislative Fly-In on March 2-4, 2010.  This is a powerful opportunity for us to work together to advance trade reform in the halls of Congress.  We need to bring the concerns of the grass roots to our legislators.

This is efficient advocacy, well worth your time.  We make all the meeting arrangements with legislators or their staff, we put together materials, we plan a message, and we pack meetings together in a concentrated period of time.  You make a bigger impact with your time using only three of the 365 days in the year.
