WHY:

With American's support for international trade ebbing, CEA is engaging in this national effort to highlight the importance of trade to America companies, and more importantly, the American worker. CEA has called on Congress to reject isolationism and enact trade agreements that expand the economy and create American jobs.

"Free trade is vital to any consumer electronics company, because all of the goods that are exported overseas, equal funds that come back to our economy, spur additional job growth and ultimately benefit the state as a whole," said Ray Kimber, president of Kimber Kable and host of the tour stop inOgden. "That is what I refer to as being a good social citizen."

Consumer electronic companies, such as Kimber Kable, are prime examples of how Free Trade has been a benefit to theUtah economy. Kimber Kable exports about 60 percent of its product overseas, which contributes to the more than $1.89 billion of goods and services produced by the consumer electronics sector inUtah and exported to customers in foreign markets.

The "America Wins With Trade" national bus tour kicked off inNew York City on Monday, July 21, and stopped inWashington, D.C. for a pro-trade rally and press conference on Capitol Hill. Learn more about America Wins with Free Trade by visiting www.americawinswithtrade.com.
