Rick Sikma on Free Trade

Republican Senate Challenger

Replace "free trade" with "fair trade"

Q: Do you support or oppose the policy: "Support and expand free trade"?

A: OPPOSE: Replace FREE Trade with FAIR Trade. Trade with foreign countries must be balanced. A foreign owned company is not held to the same policies and restrictions of a US owned company. This creates an unfair advantage for foreign companies to under bid those that are within the US. If trade is to continue, serious changes must be made to the current system.
