In a well-timed Huffington Post piece, Gary Shapiro, president and CEO of the Consumer Electronics Association, wonders when "progressives in this country gave up on free trade."
He writes:
When it comes to boosting living standards in places like Colombia and Panama, we hear hardly a peep from progressives. These stalled trade deals would improve economic and humanitarian conditions in those countries while helping U.S. companies, including many consumer electronics and technology companies, access new markets. The last 15 years are proof of that.
I understand that at a time of economic pain, nations tend to look inward, but that is why it's so important for President Obama, as he heads to the G-20 Summit on April 2, to rise above insular, regressive politics and truly work to protect and expand global trade. His choice is either to embrace the world of trade or to build on the barriers Congress has begun to create.
CEA is a 463 client.
Gary Shapiro is dead right and times of recession our out look becomes more inward focused but this will be to our cost in the end!

Sorry to bother you like this but I just stbmelud upon your blog and must tell you it's outstanding. One important thing that I really feel would help you out though is the . It is seriously the most effective SEO plugin for wordpress that exists today. Within just 8 days my site was launched from obscurity to the very first page of the search engines after making use of the SEOpressor plugin. If you're serious about SEO you can find it here:

I've won 4 bags (A Louis Vuitton!! A Coach Wristlet and Tote and a Tory Burch Wristlet) and a gift card on Packageforme.com!! If you use the right strategy and fololw their tips and tricks it's pretty easy to win, you just have to be willing to spend more than the minimum and stick with it. I can see how people who lose would get mad about sites like this but they should really do their homework and make a good plan before they bid. My only complaint is that you're only allowed to win 4 items per month so I've got to wait to bid on more auctions until next month.VA:F [1.9.10_1130]please wait...VA:F [1.9.10_1130](from 0 votes)

The person I referred to your site did his baby's nursery room in Super Mario theme - too cute. So I told him about your post - hang on and I'll post his info to you here.BRB
