However in my view, I do not see much difference between bringing non-US citizens to the jobs and exporting the jobs to non-US citizens! The result is much the same, a lower standard of living for the working people in this country. Resolution of this issue requires a organized, unified effort where the number of people in this country that want resolution can be counted in large numbers. Candidates will then focus on this issue and it will get it's just due when they (the Candidates) know that the number of votes at stake are significant! We must speak with one voice and the candidates must know how many people that one voice represents! There are a significant number of people that work for a living in this country that have had their jobs exported and many more that are at risk of having their jobs exported. When the names all those Americans that are opposed to our current trade policies are on a list in front of each of the candidates petitioning them to state their position on the Three Critical AAM Questions, we will have arrived!
