What People are saying about CTC . . .

“There is nothing inevitable about the future of trade policy. Change happens because groups like CTC are out there, working in the trenches, making sure people understand how trade can impact their lives everyday.”

-Mike Michaud, Congressman from Maine
 
“CTC has helped make trade a litmus test issue in dozens of elections. Eighty-eight new fair trade challenger candidates were elected in 2006 and 2008. In sixty-nine of those races, incumbents supporting past agreements like NAFTA or CAFTA were either retired or replaced by candidates running on a platform of fair trade reform. As the 2010 elections approach, we should continue to seek candidates who support this same platform.”

-Roger Johnson, President of National Farmers Union

TTP | The Trans Pacific Partnership

This upcoming multilateral trade agreement provides a long-overdue opportunity to build a framework for the future, and decide what policies U.S. trade agreements should include. The first round of TPP negotiations will be in Australia the week of March 15, 2010.  See our January 2010 CTC Letter to President Obama

US-Korea Free Trade Agreement

The Korea FTA is an ending point for the previous administration, not a starting point for the new one. Many serious problems of the NAFTA/CAFTA model are replicated within the three Bush FTAs, and remain unaddressed. Click here to see some of the most problematic provisions replicated in the three hangover agreements.
