61 House Republicans Co-Sponsored China Currency Bill, Now Side With China

Someone ought to ask Romney if he supports a House vote on the China Currency Bill that has already passed the Senate. If he supports "getting tough on China" he could put his money where his spiel is. ~ pinto

Last week, in These Are The House Republicans Blocking The Crackdown On China Currency Manipulation. Call Them. I named 61 House Republicans who had co-sponsored the China currency bill, but who now side with China by refusing to help force a vote on the bill. The bill has passed the Senate and Republican leaders are refusing to allow a vote in the House. This bill means jobs. This bill means confronting China over their trade cheating. Call these members of Congress and demand that they side with American workers instead of China.

Yesterday in Ohio candidate Mitt Romney said he would clamp down on China's currency manipulation. Today he is still not asking the House Republicans to bring the China currency bill up for a vote. Mr. Romney has the opportunity to demonstrate leadership and put his actions where his campaign words are -- or not. He can ask Republicans in the House to vote on the bill to do something about the problem - or not.
