Bob Krause on Free Trade

Focus trade policies on middle-class incomes

We need:
• Changed international trade policies to preserve incomes
• Shift the trade benefit to the middle class from the one percent
• Better protection for union rights and the right to organize - both domestically and in existing international trade agreements
• National taxation and budget policies that favor the middle and working class
• An annual report to Congress on the state of the middle class to focus emphasis on the issue.

Emergency legislation emphasizing fair trade

Topping Krause's policy agenda are promises of job growth, worker-focused trade policies and support for veterans.

Specifically, Krause says he would introduce emergency legislation emphasizing "fair trade" policies in all agreements with foreign companies. He said he would work to reverse a law that allows American companies overseas to avoid taxes if they keep their profits outside the United States.

Ask Krause about Grassley--his experience, his influence in the U.S. Senate, the federal money he delivers to Iowans--and the Democrat scoffs.
