Barack Obama, with the help of some Republicans who take their orders from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, is trying to pass a bill that will kill U.S. jobs, send more jobs overseas, and make more Americans dependent on government handouts. That’s the Frances Fox Piven strategy Obama learned at a Socialist Party conference in\u00a0New York\u00a0while he was attendingColumbia University.This dangerous bill is the 1,413-page Korean-U.S. Free Trade Agreement (KORUS FTA), scheduled to come up soon in Congress. It’s hard to see how anyone who cares aboutAmerica’s\u00a0economic future could allow this job killer to become law, and any Member of Congress who votes for it doesn’t deserve to be reelected next year.<\/p>\n

Eagle Forum – October 11, 2011<\/div>\n
President Obama and his liberal allies in Congress are desperate to prove that they are working to create jobs.\u00a0 Instead of taking action that would immediately spark job growth and lower energy costs, like repealing ObamaCare and the ban on domestic oil production, they are moving to pass a series of so-called \u201cfree trade\u201d agreements.\u00a0 These agreements will only serve to send jobs overseas and make more Americans dependent on government handouts. That’s the Frances Fox Piven strategy Obama learned at a Socialist Party conference in\u00a0New York\u00a0while he was attending\u00a0Columbia University.<\/div>\n
\n

There is a series of three trade agreements, governing trade with\u00a0Columbia,Panama\u00a0and South Korea, scheduled to come up for a vote in the House of Representatives\u00a0Wednesday, October 12<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

We need you to contact your Congressman and tell him or her to oppose all so-called free trade agreements!<\/strong><\/p>\n

The most dangerous of these bills is the 1,413-page Korean-U.S. Free Trade Agreement (KORUS FTA<\/a><\/strong>).<\/p>\n

We are told KORUS will create more exports, but the principal exports will be American jobs. The Economic Policy Institute\u00a0estimates<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0that KORUS will cost us 159,000 jobs. The U.S. International Trade Commission also admits that KORUS will cause significant job losses. Those job losses will extend from low-end industries to electronic equipment manufacturing, where the victims will be Americans who were making an average wage of $30 an hour in 2008.<\/p>\n

Obama claims that KORUS will create 70,000 low-paying in-sourced jobs (of Americans working for foreign employers). But even if that is true, which is doubtful, that’s less than half the well-paying jobs the U.S. will lose!<\/p>\n

KORUS advocates a claim it will allow the U.S. to export 75,000 cars a year to South Korea. Compare that puny figure with the fact that Americans are buying over a million South Korean cars this year.<\/p>\n

Among the many ways that South Korea puts up barriers against U.S. products is to subject any Korean brave enough to buy an American car to a discriminatory tax audit.<\/p>\n

KORUS allows Korean products imported into the U.S. to have 65 percent non-South Korean content. Nobody will know how much of that 65 percent will be made by\u00a0slave labor in\u00a0North Korea\u00a0or\u00a0China<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

KORUS will give Korean corporations the right to\u00a0challenge any U.S. law<\/em><\/strong>they think might limit their market access or profitability, including our prevailing wage laws. These trade agreements generally give foreigners the right to define free trade, which they do in ways that always disadvantage the U.S.<\/p>\n

Liberals are trying to appease unions and camouflage their betrayal of American workers by joining these trade agreements with a so-called Trade Adjustment Assistance Act, which would set up another series of expensive entitlements geared toward retraining the American workers who will inevitably lose their jobs because of these agreements.<\/p>\n

Take Action<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

These trade agreements are expected to sail through to passage.\u00a0\u00a0Please call your Congressmen TODAY and WEDNESDAY\u00a0<\/strong>and tell them that you are a member of Eagle Forum, and that you urge them to\u00a0vote NO on all so-called free trade agreements and the so-called Trade Adjustment Assistance.\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>Also, this is not an issue that breaks down along traditional liberal and conservative lines, so be sure to contact your Representatives, regardless of their party or voting record.<\/p>\n

I knew then I was going to be involved in a war and that I would have to be in Jesus Christ's Army. Even then, I knew the United States of America would cease to exist without the vast majority of its citizens voluntarily submitting to the Perfect and Good Laws of the Holy Bible.
