Issue Position: Jobs-Creating American Jobs

Issue Position

Date: Jan. 1, 2011
Issues: Employment and Affirmative Action

An effective and sustainable recovery cannot be a jobless one. As a co-founder of the Congressional Jobs NOW! Caucus I understand the need to put Americans back to work. Nurturing local innovation and fighting against unfair trade deals like NAFTA are steps I have taken to help create and keep jobs at home.

America needs to start building again. There are far too many "Made in China" or "Made in Malaysia" stickers on products bought in America, and too few "Made in America" stickers. It is time that America begins building and exporting tangible goods once again.

I have also introduced legislation like H.R. 4318, the 21st Century Civilian Conservation Crops Act, in an effort to establish useful American jobs. In order for the U.S. to continue her role as the world leader Americans must be put back to work.
