U.S. Chamber Intensifies Lobbying Effort for FTAs

On June 15, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce unveiled the website www.TradeSupportsJobs.com , offering unprecedented details on U.S. exports and the jobs they support for all 50 states and all 435 Congressional Districts, as the business community intensifies its advocacy for the trade agreements with South Korea, Colombia and Panama. "With facts and arguments, we'll win this trade debate and get these deals done," said U.S. Chamber President Tom Donohue at the press event to launch the website and outline the Chamber's nationwide lobbying efforts in support of the trade agreements. "For the first time, this site makes available lists of thousands of companies that are exporting, in every state and every district. We need these facts and arguments more than ever because we need these trade agreements more than ever." Information on the site was widely circulated on Capitol Hill, with leadership offices calling it "outstanding." The House Ways and Means Committee staff circulated a press release calling attention to the site as well.
