As we celebrate the anniversary of our great Nation’s birth, legislation is moving through Congress that will improve the economy, lower unemployment and revive weakened communities. With over 50,000 manufacturing facilities closed in the last decade, coupled with the loss of over 6 million jobs in that sector, there needs to be a focus of putting Americans back to work!  The Bring Jobs Home Act (S. 2884, H.R. 5542) will eliminate some of the tax incentives that send good American jobs overseas while creating incentives to keep jobs here.

As the offshoring of jobs has spread from manufacturing to the service sector of our economy, it has had a devastating effect on families and our communities. This legislation is a good start and all members regardless of party affiliation should get behind this legislation.

  • I work hard and I expect the same from my elected officials. That’s why it’s time they put their extreme ideologies aside and get to work doing what they were elected to do: create jobs, promote American excellence and restore balance to our economy.

  • It’s past time for our leaders to support investing in America and rebuilding our nation. Creating jobs here starts with the backbone to make strong policy decisions, a commitment to the future, and the leadership to make it happen.

  • We cannot continue to say we want to bring jobs home while rewarding corporations with taxpayers’ money when they ship production, jobs and innovation overseas.

  • Those doing well in America ought to do right by America. That’s simple fairness and basic patriotism. It’s the right thing for our country and the future of our children.

  • As Americans prepare to celebrate July 4th, we honor our country’s ingenuity and determination that persevered against all odds. Now it’s time for our elected leaders to stop helping companies outsource jobs and instead support the patriotic companies that create jobs here.

  • America’s trade deficit continues to grow while the largest U.S. non-financial corporations sit on a record $1 trillion in cash instead of using it to create jobs.

  • In July, Congress will take up the Bring Jobs Home Act, which would eliminate the tax deduction for companies that move jobs overseas.

  • Americans want to work—and it is politics as usual, not economic obstacles, standing in the way. Our leaders must put partisanship aside and focus on job creation to bring balance to our broken, unequal economy. Jobs are not Democratic or Republican, and the solution to the jobs crisis must be off limits to Capitol Hill gamesmanship.

  • Made in America can’t be a thing of the past. I call on my elected officials to support comprehensive solutions to create good jobs now.
