CPA reaches out to Greater Reading Chamber of Commerce

I presented, along with CPA board member Dave Frengel, to the Greater Reading Chamber of Commerce about trade policy on January 28, 2010. Rick Malliris of KB Alloys, a CPA member, is a member of that local Chamber and requested the meeting. The U.S. Chamber, Pennsylvania state trade officials, and Don Rongione (saveanamericanjob.com) also testified.
We hoped to persuade the Greater Reading Chamber to support a sensible U.S. trade policy that was good for those making and growing things here in the U.S. We certainly moved that organization, to their credit.
See the YouTube video below, from the Greater Reading chamber, which talks about both the need to enforce trade rules and the need to deal with the foreign currency manipulation issue. Those points are made between the 2:40 to 3:10 mark.
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. Click here to sign up for the CPA Fly In.
CPA has a special offer--limited time only: the first 50 registrants

This is a highly acclaimed book about trade policy and the needed
