So my point is very simply this: We can help to balance our trade deficit. We can help to increase employment in the southeastern United States. We can help poultry, we can help pork, and we can help beef. It has been 968 days since the President could have sent us these free trade agreements, and he has not. My point in this debate is very simple. There is one person in the United States of America standing between us and more job creation, and it is the resident of the White House, President Obama. I wish to turn it over to the organizer of this event, Senator Johanns.
