Dear Mr. President:

Despite America’s huge jobs problem and trillions of dollars in trade deficits,
some U.S. leaders want even more bad Free Trade Agreements! The results of
NAFTA have been disastrous, and it’s widely predicted our new agreement with
South Korea will also be a big net loss for the U.S.

America must rebuild it’s devastated domestic industry to create millions of jobs
and for national security, but we cannot do it under the weak trade policies of the
backers of more one-sided giveaway deals like KORUS. With no apology due,
let’s name those misguided current leaders here:

- Republican Senate Leader Mike McConnell
- Republican House Speaker John Boehner
- Ohio Senator (R) and Former U.S. Trade Representative Rob Portman
- The U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the N.A.M.
- Multinational CEO’s like Jeff Immelt of GE, who’s also
Chairman of your U.S. Jobs and Competitiveness Council,
- and many more CEO’s of our biggest corporations. plus
- Goldman Sachs, most of Wall Street, and our biggest banks

These folks are living in a selfish world where it’s O.K. for America’s future to be
bleak, and for 99 % of our citizens to be denied fruitful lives, while Washington
serves only the top 1%. That’s got to stop now! Listen to the people’s protests!

Also note the strong warning on U.S. trade deficits by rich, wise Warren Buffett:
He was quoted by the Associated Press, Jan.20, 2006: “The U.S trade deficit is a
bigger threat to the domestic economy than either the federal budget deficit or
consumer debt and could lead to political turmoil”.

Amen! It’s now five years later, and political turmoil is surely here! It’s high time
for all of our leaders to step up and do what’s right for America’s future!
