The Coalition for a Prosperous America is the premiere nonprofit organization representing the interests of 2.7 million households through our agricultural, manufacturing and labor members. Our board and our membership includes Republicans, Democrats, Independents, Conservatives and Liberals. The Trade Problem America’s trade policies have caused grave harm to our country’s economy, security and people. Rather than pursuing a national goal of balanced trade, government leaders allow and enable the largest trade deficit in world history. The result is economic decline, job destruction and de-industrialization of America. Trade agreements dangerously undermine America’s sovereignty by overriding the U.S. Constitution and local, state and federal laws. Our Mission The CPA is working for a new and positive U.S. trade policy that delivers prosperity and security to America, its citizens, farms, factories and working people. We are an unrivaled coalition of manufacturing, agricultural, worker, consumer and citizen interests working together to rebuild an America for ourselves, our children and our grandchildren. We believe America can provide good jobs for workers, affordable goods for consumers, opportunity for farms and manufacturers and a clean environment without compromising our national sovereignty and security. Our Activities CPA’s focus is upon the “grass tops”… local leaders in the states and communities. We are educating citizens and local opinion leaders where they live and work. We are identifying those elected members of Congress who favor improved trade policies and, as importantly, those who do not. We hold economic summits across the country to inform local leaders on the issues. Engaging Washington is important, but politicians come home on the weekends, and must face the citizens. Engaging America is our primary focus.
