Perriello on Chinese Currency

Congressman Tom Perriello again voted today to protect American manufacturing jobs and to help make American-made products more competitive. Rep. Perriello co-sponsored the Currency Reform for Fair Trade Act (H.R. 2378), which passed with bi-partisan support, to crack down on foreign countries, most notably China, whose currency manipulation results in products that are so cheap that American-made products cannot compete. This practice is devastating to manufacturing industries, such as steel and rubber, and the American Manufacturing Alliance estimates that Virginia's 5th Congressional District lost nearly 6,000 jobs to China from 2001-2008.

@prokopto unfortuantely, the way districts are gerrymandered makes it much harder to get rid of incumbents in November. The time to get rid of incumbents is during the PRIMARIES - but only 10% of the eligible American citizens VOTED this year.

Sorry to say that our republic cannot be considered a functional system as long as 90% are not picking better reps.

It is NOT the politicians fault - talk to your non-voter friends (9 out of 10 people)

Great speech

Your website and political ads hide that you are a Democrat. I understand why. You Dems are headed for a spanking in a few weeks. C-SPAN has conveniently added the dreaded D to these videos. Thanks for that C-SPAN. NO DEMS IN 2010 or 12!!!!!!!!!!!!
