SUPPORT FAIR TRADE
Summary
Calls upon federal policy makers to support policies that promote American interest by requiring full reciprocity, fairness, and transparency in all U.S. trade agreements, including such areas as labor and environmental standards, support actions to combat the illegal and mercantilist practice of prolonged currency misalignment, support the elimination of tax disadvantages which undermine the competitiveness of U.S. producers both at home and abroad or which discourage investment in America, support the aggressive enforcement of U.S. laws to halt foreign illegal trade activities such as dumping, subsidies, and intellectual property theft, and ensure that goods sold domestically meet U.S. food and product safety standards.
