KEY VOTE ALERT
"YES" on Peru Free Trade Deal

The Club for Growth urges Members of Congress to vote "YES" on the Peru Free Trade Agreement. This key vote will be part of our 2007 Congressional Scorecard.

Passing this free trade agreement is an essential step toward economic freedom and away from protectionism.

Globalization is a fact of life. Our country has the opportunity to either engage the international community, or isolate ourselves from it. While trade agreements like this aren't perfect, they reduce trade barriers, open up markets, foster peaceful international ties, and increase prosperity. They also enable economic liberty to rise, allowing more and more people to voluntarily trade with each other.

Additionally, 98 percent of Peru's imports already enter the United States duty free through the Andean Trade Preferences Act. This agreement merely seeks to resolve the other side of the equation -- reducing tariffs on American exports to Peru.

Our Congressional Scorecard for the 110th Congress provides a comprehensive rating of how well or how poorly each member of Congress supports pro-growth, free-market policies and will be distributed to our members and to the public.
