I support the Jones Act.

I want jobs kept in America. We have too much outsourcing already.

Jeopardizing America’s ports, indeed.

Look at what happened to Canada’s shipping and shipbuilding industries without the protection of a Jones Act.

I think all information, spoken or data, carried over the airwaves between people in the United States should be transmitted and received over equipment made exclusively in the USA.

Tell the owners of Canadian National RR about the Jones Act.
They bought US Steel’s iron ore carriers that haul from US port to US port,,,

I oppose anything that empowers unions at the expense of everyone else.

What purpose is served by screwing the American consumer?

If jobs are to be "kept in America", shouldn't the cost of labor at least be competitive?
